The U14 girls' qualified for the hockey Regionals
in stunning style on Thursday 17th October, winning the Essex
tournament. They met Brentwood in the final, and taught their opponents a
lesson in Hockey, winning 6-1. Their run to the final was equally
impressive, scoring 26 goals in five games, before their crushing
victory to win the overall competition. They are now looking forward to
the Regionals in a few weeks.

Girls' U15 B v Bishop's Stortford College
The U15 B side were keen to get a win before the half term break, having been close several times earlier in the term.
Felsted pressed hard from the first whistle and were looking strong on the attack. Good runs by forwards Emily Illhardt, Megan Mankelow, Kathryn Percy and Saskia Malins eventually paid off with Megan sweeping the ball into the back of the net. This riled Stortford who started to attack hard and there were plenty of strong battles from the midfield of Laura Winter, Olivia Fenn, Tia Richards, Poppy Mifsud, Charley Butler and Charley Adams. Stortford managed to get several penalty corners but were denied every time with some excellent saves from Annabel Sunnucks in goal. Everyone was relieved when the half time whistle went.
After some positive words from coach Davey the girls went out, clear in the knowledge that if they dug deep and worked as a team they would come out as victors. It seemed that Stortford also had a similar talk as soon as the whistle went they were strong on the attack. The defence of Abby Fenn, Hannah A’Violet, Hannah Barrett and Giselle Bacheta battled hard and stopped plenty of Stortford’s chances. However, as time went on Felsted raised their game and created plenty of attacking chances, with the keeper having to make some very important saves. With depth from the bench constantly rolling on and off the Stortford girls’ didn’t know what to do. With the final minutes showing some very good hockey and end to end play the Felsted girls’ were pleased when the final whistle went and they were winners. They dug deep and pulled together to get the 3 points they deserved.
The girls play RHS Holbrook on Thursday in their last game before the half term break, where they are hoping to take another win.
