Snr EC2 Tournament 27th Feb 2011

This was Norwich’s home tournament at Wymondham.

The running order was updated following the England Ladies squad pulling out due to club commitment. This meant that Letchworth would only have 3 games rather than the intended 4.

The Letchworth squad would have been a man down today but thankfully Stuart Langley stepped up to fill the gap even though he played 2 games the day before. Many thanks go to Stuart for helping us out.

Game 1 v Ely

The day started playing a youngish Ely team who seem to be improving game on game. Letchworth had much of the ball and many chances but seemed to be having difficulty in converting good build up play into goals.

Ended Ely 6 : 4 Letchworth

Game 2 v Cottenham

Letchworth went into this game knowing it was one which would be tough but they could win it they kept their heads.
The game was opened with an Ely goal but after that Letchworth had the best of the ball and after many attempts on goal were rewarded with an equaliser.

Letchworth then proceeded to miss both a penalty and a direct free hit and numerous more chances aside.
Sadly for Letchworth the Cottenham team got a break and didn’t hesitate to tuck away the winner.
Ended Cottenham 2 : 1 Letchworth

Game 3 v Norwich

Letchworth were keen to start converting their chances and new that against Norwich they should certainly have a good chance of taking the points.

The outcome proved to be as expected and hoped and Letchworth dominated for the entire game and at half time Letchworth went off 8-1 up.

In the second half Michael kept a clean sheet and the out players continued to play as well and as disciplined as they did in the first half.
Both Adam & Matt got hattricks which helped towards a good scoreline which was needed to make up for the deficit seen due to Letchworth pulling out of their previous tournament.
Ended Norwich 1 : 13 Letchworth

All in all a good day and some good hockey… saying that, we should have really come away with more points.
