City of York U16 Girls Hockey in Yorkshire Youth League 28th Sept 2008
City of York U16 Girls A had an encouraging start to their Yorkshire Youth League campaign with 3 wins out of 3 against Selby, Brigg and LA Carnegie. Their first game against Selby began fairly evenly as York were slow to hit form. Lauren Boddison broke the deadlock after 10 minutes with a well placed short corner strike, only for Selby to respond minutes later with an open play goal. York then worked hard to sustain long periods of pressure and earned several short corners but they were unable to convert. Better chances were created in open play with Charlotte McDermattroe and Georgie Grant breaking through the Selby defence and Grant eventually came to the rescue by squeezing the ball home to give a 2-1 result.
Brigg provided similar opposition in the 2nd game as York fought for control of the midfield and as the balance of the game started to tip in York’s favour they lost Mcdermattroe through injury. Ruth Hally filled in up front and York, after re-adjustment pressed the opposition defence. Good link up play from Rebecca Lovelady, Emily Gee and Beth Hamilton on the left hand side provided attacking opportunities but the only goal of the game came from a break down the right with Grant crossing the ball hard across the face of the goal and Gee finishing in style.
York raised their game in their final match with LA Carnegie. The York defence of Emma Hessay, Julia Megone and Becky Smith worked tirelessly as Carnegie put on the pressure. Emma Keaney pulled out some fine saves to keep York in the game. York surprised Carnegie with a breakaway goal as Grant was released early and scored with a strike from the edge of the ‘D’. The game changed with York gaining more of the play down both flanks, but were unable to penetrate the opposition ‘D’. York’s energy faded as they neared the end of their third game and Carnegie, playing their first chased the elusive equaliser. The defence were again worked hard and captain Ellys Lockett led the way as number one short corner runner in closing the opposition down. The result stayed as 1-0 in favour of York.
U16 Girls B team At short notice a team of U14 Girls
went to fufill the U16B fixtures at Halifax on 28th Sept
Playing some attractive attacking Hockey,York were unlucky not to score
from some good short corner moves ,Ella Davies and Tonia Monoyiou seeing
shots slip past the post.
The defence looked confident in this 0-0 draw
Against a strong Wakefield side ,York held out with some excellent goalkeeping
from Beth Worrall.
However the pressure eventually paid for Wakefield who netted regularly
late on to take the match 4-0
As Driffield B were unable to raise a team York were given a 3-0 win
City of York U16 Girls Hockey in Yorkshire Youth League 26th Oct 2008
City of York U16 girls had a slow start to their second league session
in Harrogate on Sunday 26th October. Their first game was against Doncaster
who got into their game a lot quicker than York. After being under pressure
for most of the game York eventually lost 1-0 to a scrappy goal after
the defence failed to clear a good save from goal keeper Emma Keaney.
In the second game they played against Kirklees and seemed to find a bit
more form. After numerous wasted opportunities York finally got off the
mark with a well worked move from Lauren Boddison onto a run from Sarah
Clay who crossed the ball for Georgie Grant to score at the far post.
This seemed to give the York team more confidence and they finished with
a 2-0 victory, Georgie Grant scoring the second on the other post.
In the final game York played against a well organised Harrogate team.
York played some of their best hockey in this match. Becky Smith doing
an excellent job of keeping Harrogates best player under wraps. The game
finished 0-0 with another good defensive performance by Julia Megone,
Yorks player of the day.
