Lost 2-3

With the sun shining we headed to Oxted for a 3pm pushback.
We had previously beaten Oxted 4-1 but we knew this was going to be a tough match, as they were right behind us in the table and had improved an awful lot since Christmas.
Our 13 person team consisted of Maddie in goal, Emily, George and Charlie at the back, Millie, Jess, Angie and Erin in the middle and Akane, Kara and myself up front, with Amelie and Lanie as our super subs. We were feeling confident and ready to go, the win was ours or so we thought.
From the start, Oxted came out fighting and put us under loads of pressure, pushing hard. But we felt we were definitely the better team, with some amazing link ups and leading runs. Unfortunately for us, there was a questionable ball from outside the D and Oxted were awarded a goal. It was 1-0 at half time, but that didn't bother us and we kept on fighting.
After half time Oxted scored again making it 2-0. We finally got our chance to get back into the game, when a lovely ball went from Jess to Kara who shot, got the rebound and passed it back out to Jess who slapped a beautiful ball into the backboard. We were now on a roll and soon after Little Millie cracked the ball from the top of the D, over the keepers head straight into the net - IT WAS AWESOME!!! 2-2.
Unfortunately our excitement ended abruptly as Oxted were given a penalty strike and scored.. BOOO. With 5 minutes to go, we threw everything we could at their keeper, but we just could not get it passed her one last time. Final whistle, 3-2 to Oxted.
Overall we played some really good hockey and we're proud of our performance as a team. Onwards and upwards ladies, we rock.
