U12 Boys battle in Basingstoke

Today we took u12 boys to Basingstoke for the last games of the season. Missing 9 of our squad, we still managed to take 8 players, including Wlliam our u10s GK.

James made his debut and what an enthusiastic start to his hockey playing! 3 games today, we took a while to wake up, loosing to Basingstoke A 9-0.

The boys were lacking a bit of oomph so a talking to and a promise of scoring set them on their way to win the next game against Basingstoke B. With goals from Henry (with a sonic speed run up the right wing) and Noah in the first half, we were 2-0 up! At half time, I suggested they should up the ante to 3 goals and they certainly delivered. Goals from Noah, and 2 from Luca, ending 5-0 win.

Last up were Trojans, still excited from finding the back of the net, Noah opened the score sheet in the first minute…a cracking goal in front of Romsey supporters, who heard the crash of the backboard and knew he meant business! Sadly, we then went to sleep. Noah managed to score once more but the game ended 2-5 loss.

Well done boys, a hard day out in the sunshine with all boys rotating around all positions!
