14:55 - Old Bristolians 1 v NSHC 0

Tough well matched side with plenty of passing up the pitch, and most of the action in the oppositions end. When they finally broke through our defences Toby valiantly moved forward and kept the ball out of the goal, with the defence falling back to assist. In the end the ball snuck past the defences into the goal. A tiring 2nd match in a row with plenty of excellent passing but in the end the final score was 1-0 to Old Bristolians.

All in all a great afternoons worth of hockey, something that the U10’s can feel proud of and have done the club proud! Plus the green tops looked great!
