Saturday Update – 28th September 2024
Week 4 of the Mixed hockey season was a shorter fixture list with the E team and the U15s having a week off.
3 wins and 1 loss for our mixed teams with some high scoring games !
Vikings Mixed A (4 – 0) Bacchas Mixed B
A dominant performance by Vikings.
The scoreline could have been a bit higher, with the A team needing to work on short corners and finishing but a solid win!
Vikings A Player of the Match – Will Bridson
Vikings Mixed B (6 – 3) Valkyrs Mixed B
Vikings deserved the win but Valkyrs never stopped pressing and managed to grab 3 goals in a 5-10 minute spell near the end of the game.
A great win for Vikings and a special mention for Charlie Bell with 4 assists in the match !
Vikings B Player of the Match – Charlie Bell
Vikings Mixed C (1 – 2) Ramsey Mixed A
Ramsey had a lot of possession in the middle of the pitch with some good defending from both sides.
Tom Babb in the Vikings goal made numerous saves with Vikings threatening at times on the break but not managing to secure more than one goal.
A flurry of short corners near the end of the match settled matters with Ramsey scoring the decisive second goal with the last shot of the match.
Vikings C Player of the Match – Brayden Masterson
Vikings Mixed D (4 – 3) Valkyrs Mixed C
A great result for Vikings to add some points on the board in Division 1.
Vikings battled hard against a determined Valkyrs side and took advantage at short corners with both Andy Harding and Jacob Harding grabbing a goal each to cancel out the two goals from the westerners to leave the scoreline 2-2 at half-time.
Valkyrs pushed on in the second half and grabbed another goal, but with dogged determination from Vikings, and some great work from the Vikings defence and from Jo Roney up front grabbing a brace, including a nutmeg of the Valkyrs keeper, meant that Vikings came away with a hard earned 2 pts.
