Week 5: It was Parents’ Day for the Ladies’ 1s with 4 players’ parents supporting from the sidelines away at Chiswick!! 0-0 was a fair result in the end. There was a clean sheet for #TeamDefence and quite a few chances up front, including Bethany McNamara hitting the post! WHE were also unlucky not to get awarded more penalty corners. The #DeaneTeam put in a good work rate throughout the match and it was a close call but Little Sister Samantha just pipped Beth to Man of the Match.
Next up is a home game against top of the league Harrow. The Ladies’ Summer A team caused a huge upset when they beat “9 wins out of 9” Harrow 5-0. The 1s are hoping history can repeat itself!

A strange one for Men’s 1s this week. They just didn’t get started and went down 3-0 early on. However, WHE kept working incredibly hard and in the last 15 minutes managed a remarkable spurt of three amazing goals from Tim, Craig and Adam. Alas, this was not enough as the final score was 9-3 to Blueharts! The 1s have got the work ethic sorted, the next step is getting their sweet 15 minute spot at the start of the game and then increasing it to 70 minutes! They’ll get their first chance to try this out away at Hertford.

The game nearly finished in disappointment as Adelaide appeared to score from a last-minute penalty corner, only for it to be disallowed as the ball didn’t come out of the D first. Phew! In the end, 1-1 a fair result after a hard-fought battle.
Big thanks to Leo Fernandes for playing in goal for the 2s today. After joining us at Back to Hockey in Summer, this is his first season playing hockey. He’s already scored a goal and now saved some today too! Also, a special mention for Rob Ulph putting in a solid performance on his debut. They are looking to keep the unbeaten record going in the next match, at home against Welwyn Garden City.
