MONARCHS CUP FINAL ON SUNDAY: WE WON!

Congratulations to our ladies first team on winning the county cup for the first time ever. Cheered on by a massive support from the club we fell behind to a disputed (by the crowd, the team was very polite!) goal, but came back to level by half time with a Faye special from a penalty corner. Despite lots of second half pressure, as the team relaxed and began to play some hockey, the winner just wouldn't come. However, towards the end of extra time, with penalty flicks beckoning, Faye slotted home the golden goal to ensure victory was ours. A fantastic end to a fantastic year.
