Match Report - 01 Oct 2011, Phoenix Hockey Club Ladies 1st XI lost to University of Essex
The game started at 11:30am, by this time the temperature on the pitch had reached 29.5 degrees, bit too hot for a hockey match!! Anyway, Phoenix were hydrated, sun lotion on and ready to go. The match started at quite a fast pace, too much running and not enough passing. The team tired quickly and couldn't keep it up, The University of Essex took this advantage an managed to slot in an early goal when Phoenix let their guard down. Phoenix responded with a goal from Beth Albon who easily found the back of the net on the attack. Most of the play was in the universities half, there were numerous shots on goal and short corners, unfortunately Phoenix couldn't get the ball past the keeper. A disappointing result for a de-hydrated Phoenix which Im sure they will learn from!
