Canterbury Ladies 5s v Gravesend Ladies 2s.
Canterbury Ladies 5s put in a fantastic team performance to secure a convincing 5–1 victory against Gravesend Ladies 2s in what was an enjoyable, fair and exciting game of hockey.
Canterbury started strongly, showing great determination and attacking intent. The breakthrough came in the 16th minute when Clara found the back of the net. She wasn’t finished there, striking again in the 27th minute to give Canterbury a deserved lead.
The team continued to build momentum, with Kat adding a third goal in the 34th minute. There was no letting up from Canterbury, and Paula extended the lead in the 53rd minute before Millie rounded off the scoring in the 66th minute with a well-worked short-corner goal to complete an excellent 5–1 win.
There were fantastic performances across the pitch. Harriet was superb in goal, making some excellent saves, including a brilliant penalty flick save that certainly kept Gravesend on their toes!
The defence of Fiona, Sophie, Millie and Lynn showed great strength and determination, providing a solid foundation for the team. In midfield, Laura, Georgie, Kat and Tracy worked tirelessly, linking play beautifully and keeping the pressure on the opposition. Up front, Clara, Imi and Paula showed great energy and attacking threat throughout.
A special mention must go to our two young players, Clara and Kat, who were absolutely outstanding, playing with fantastic skill, confidence and enthusiasm and making a real impact on the game. And a huge thank you to Paula, who stepped in at the very last minute to help us out – not only did she save the day, but she also got herself on the scoresheet!
A brilliant all-round team effort, five fantastic goals and three very well-deserved points for Canterbury! 💚🤍
