The
City of York Hockey Club under 14 boys travelled to Harrogate to play
in the Yorkshire Youth League.
COY 0 Ben Rhydding 3
COY 1 Bradford 0
COY 1 Rotherham 1
After a tough opening game against a useful Ben Rhydding side, they recovered well for a thoroughly deserved win against Bradford. Despite struggling to score goals, having had numerous chances and hit the post three times, they eventually found the net through Ben Smith.
They then had the better of the game against Rotherham and led through a Rory Ainslie goal, but paid the penalty for not killing the game off when Rotherham equalised in the last minute.
U14B Report session1
vs Halifax (Lost 1-3)
York started the morning against the strongest side - Halifax. For the first game together on a full pitch the side found good form but the experience of the Halifax side defeated them. Matt Hays managed to claw one back with a goal from a short corner. K Birch played a good game in goal and unphased by the strength of opposition made several very good saves.
vs Kirklees (Won 2-1)
The play started to flow better with some very good moves up the pitch by Alex Hamilton, Ryan Brown, Daniel Ellwood, Lewis Inman and William Broadbent. Matt Hays scored his second goal of the morning after a great break away with Jack Feasby. Elliot Kimberley made a crucial goal line save and Philip Worrall scored a second goal to win the match. B Worrall took over the goalie kit and for much of the game had very little to do - Oscar England and Mattie Birch strong in defence.
vs Thirsk (Drew 1-1)
Having provided four players for Thirsk for their previous games the inexperience of the U13 on a full pitch began to show as the defenders struggled to get back and control the ball in their D. Thirsk scored first with a fluke shot that bounced off a defenders shoulder but York fought back for Matt Hays to score his third of the session.
The team came 2nd on goal difference.
Session2 16th November 2008
Good performances from the lads yesterday resulted in two wins and a draw.
After opening with a 4-0 victory over Leeds Adel Carneige, with goals from Matt Andrews (2), Peter Fitton and Callum Craig, they followed this up with an even more convincing victory over Kirklees by 5-0, Callum Craig (2), Rory Ainslie (2) and Matt Andrews with the goals.
The last game was much tighter against a decent Sheffield side and after going behind early on COY played some excellent hockey to draw level through Peter Fitton, before he also had a goal disallowed at the very end of the game when the umpire blew for a short corner just as he put the ball in the net. Nathan Wilson made some excellent saves in a good game with a draw probably a fair result.
