Match report written by Erin Harper
Huge thanks to Selfie for travelling to Bretforton with us. His umpiring was top notch on Gloucester’s behalf…
Although the scoreline was 2:0 to our hosts, the team’s play far from reflected that. Overall we played calm, level headed and confident hockey. Our play from the get-go topped Bretforton, as practiced from training we looked back when in need and chose great options on passes forward to get shots on goal. This, as well as our clear communication and passing allowed us to rattle Bretforton. Excellent play all round from the defence, midfield and forwards we had many shots on goal as well as short corners. Unfortunately the oppo did not conceding a goal, their keeper for sure saving the team’s socks!
Also worth note, some fab saves from Abi Smith in goal, cracking line balls from Caitlin, POTM going to Lauren for her overall great play!
Everyone put in 100% effort, an unfortunate result, but so positive for next week … bring on Old Bristolians.
