Lockwood Park Dragons III 7 vs 1 Sheffield Hallam VI
Lockwood Park Dragons were visited by Sheffield Hallam and played some excellent Hockey to finish the game with a 7 – 1 win on Saturday. After the loss last week Dragons knew it was important to get the match off to a strong attacking start and were quickly out of the starting blocks with a number of driving attacks against the visiting team.
The first goal saw a clear pass made to Mariella Dobson which had beat a fairly strong Sheffield defence, at which a deflection off her stick on the far post saw the goal hit the back of Sheffield’s net. In the remaining 1st half Mariella scored 2 more to seal a hat trick, while Maizy Carr scored an excellent deflection from the penalty spot. Gwen Thomas also scored when she received the ball at the top of the ‘D’ making a very strong strike into Sheffield’s Goal.
Dragons lead lasted the entire second half, but Sheffield did achieve a break through scoring a goal about 10 minutes in. A driving strike from Roisheen McEwan saw a deflection of a Sheffield defenders stick straight into goal and Maisy Carr sealed the win with her second of the match. Mariella Dobson received player – of – the – match for her excellent team work and position making as left striker.
Team: McCallum, McEwan, Thomas, Carter, Moorhouse, Noakes, Mallinson, Dobson, Carr, Haigh, Creedon, Bates.
