Shropshire hockey junior tournament 01/03/15

Players from Whitchurch Hockey Academy travelled  to Lilleshall with U10 boys, U12s boys and girls teams.

A creditable third place was achieved by the U10s and then the came U12 boys who secured the runners up position against strong opposition to progress to Regionals at Nottingham next month!

The U12 girls played their matches, the rain set in during their second match but they battled on and emerged as winners having held Telford to a draw, just!

So both U12 teams progress to Regionals finals next month

Whitchurch hockey match reports 06/12/14

The weather decimated the weekends fixtures with both the Men’s Fathom and ladies 1s cancelled due to frozen pitches the only game to go ahead was the Ladies 2s away at Golborne 2s.

Golborne ladies 2s 2         Whitchurch ladies 2s 1

The game started poorly as the Whitchurch keeper was delayed in traffic and Golborne took the lead as she padded up.

Ellie Windsor, Phoebe Jones and Laura Workman worked tirelessly in the midfield and defence and Whitchurch were rewarded when Jess Kimberley scored an equaliser to bring Whitchurch back into the game.

Whitchurch were not happy when in the final minutes of the game they felt their goalkeeper was fouled allowing Goborne to convert the winner.

The Academy at Whitchurch continues to go from success to success producing players representing the county with Maddie Sugden getting into the Shropshire Under13 squad as goalkeeper, Jess Kimberley at Under 17, Emily Hilton at Under 15 and Hebe Dixon at Under 13’s.
