A much better performance all round

Last week was one to forget, having lost 10 - 0. With players still on holiday and players out of position we never managed to get going. This week we were out to make amends in the return fixture against Didsbury Northern 5th.  
 
The game started well and after 20 minutes with the score still at 0 – 0, this was already a vast improvement on last week.  It was end to end stuff with Stockport playing some good hockey but unfortunately they didn’t convert any of the chances they had, Mea La Belle playing well in only her 2nd game for Stockport.  Some good defensive play by Sharon Bostandji and keeper Jeanne Woolston meant that by half time Didsbury were only 1- 0 up, a score line that we were ecstatic about as this was a much improved performance.
 
Again Stockport started well and again they failed to convert chances, some good passing play by Mea, Fiona Holland, Viv Hudson and Nicola Reeves was broken down by a strong Didsbury defence, and it wasn’t long before they had bagged 2 more goals making it 3 – 0.
 
In the closing minutes of the match and after a number of attempted clearances by the Stockport defence, Hilary Clamp placed a great little flick in the right corner of the goal....... unfortunately it was the wrong goal, sorry girls!!  Final score 4 – 0.
 
A much better performance all round and a confidence boast following a heavy defeat last week, well done girls.
 
Let’s have a win next week.
