Reports on recent Hockey matches, as written by Russell House players.
U11 A Tournament at Sevenoaks School:
On Wednesday, we travelled to Sevenoaks School for a coaching session with Cath Nicholson, who is a former England and Great Britain player. She taught us many skills including roll-outs and v-drags, we all had so much fun and learnt a lot. This was followed by a tournament. Everyone played really well, especially the Form 6s. The star player was definitely Zoe in goal, as she saved many goals. We came joint third, but fourth overall due to goal difference and we all had a great afternoon. Georgie
U11 B v St Michael's:
We played a great game and won 4-1. Player of the match was Isla as she was amazing at scoring goals. I also thought Isabella was a great defender and Mia was always near the ball and ready to play. I am very proud of my team. Isobel
U11 C v St Michael's:
We played against St Michael's and we won 2-0. Nahla was a marvellous player, she went ahead for nearly every single tackle. Hazel was amazing and was there nearly every time Clara hit the ball. Orla and Hazel are both left-handed, but they are already getting used to playing on their right side. Jessica is a wonderful player with a great attitude and is there for nearly every pass and changed the game by scoring one of the goals. I scored the second goal. Caitlin was always there and she took lots of the balls that were out. Together as a team, we were amazing. We spread out and received each pass well in a good space. We worked together and each one of us was near scoring a goal multiple times. The match teas were chocolate cookies that were delicious and every single one of us tried to make them last a long time. In all, we did a great job and deserved the victory. Victoria
U9 v St Michael's:
On Thursday, we played St Michael's Prep and we won 3-0. Isabelle was chosen as player of the match, as she was excellent at defending but I think we all played really well. Maya
U8A v St Michael's:
U8A played against St Michael's and the score was 4-0 to us. The goals were scored by Lara, Petra, Anastasia and Eliora. Lara was the player of the match and she played well. Petra and Eliora did very good defending and Emilia and Anastasia did well in attacking. Well done, Russell House! Anastasia
U8B v St Michael's:
The weather wasn’t too nice for us. There was lots of rain, but the team kept their spirits up throughout. Even though we lost 2-0, our team played fantastically and had good dribbling and tackling skills. Humari
