This also showed in the improvement shown in thesecond half of all the matches.The right-wing pair of Mathias and Sinclair could always create goal-scoring chances when given enough of the ball.McGill and Hawkins played well in midfield, while Carroll improved his goalkeeping technique with every match.Troughton was sound in a defence which often failed to clear the ball from the danger zone.Results:v.

Tyler.D.A.H.Under 14 XIVery poor weather forced us to play mainly asphalt hockey this term, and in fact our first experience of rather soggyturf was during the first match. Of the seven matches planned, three had to be cancelled.The situation was even more frustrating, as for the first time in several years, we had a surplus of good players forthree or four positions. Despite the shortage of real practice, the team played quite well, with Graham Moore as captainproviding the correct amount of friendly persuasion.Results:February 1st King Edward‟s, Bath (H) .. ..
