Felsted arrived at a very wet Redbridge Sports Centre to take part in the U14 East Tournament. Having won their past two games convincingly the team had high hopes to qualify for the next stage of the competition.
The first game was against Bangcrofts and the boys came out flying dominating the first half and scoring 3. Into the second half and Bancrofts began to turn on the pressure pulling 2 goals back to make it a nail biting end. Felsted managed to keep their composure to finish the game 3-2 up, a crucial first win and 3 points on the board.
With win number one under our belts Felsted were keen to push on against Coopers Coborn who always promise to be a tough opposition. However, Felsted played some superb hockey to make the score 9-0.
Into the last two games and Felsted knew these results would determine whether they progressed in the competition. Forest was first and Felsted played some great flowing hockey moving the ball early and linking nicely in midfield. Some great defencive work at the back from Stefan Warner and Thomas Lane-Feldman, meant we limited there goals to 1. Whilst the Felsted attack managed to get 11 with Archie Halls, George Hitchcock, Alex Jackson, Charlie Broom and Alex Gilham all getting there names on the score sheet.
Not happy with going through as runners up Felsted went into the last game against Chigwell wanting to show that they were the best team there. The match was edgy with Felsted scoring first then Chigwell getting one back to make it 1-1. The team defended brilliantly and attacked with speed making it hard for Chigwell to get out of their half. The boys proceeded to score another 3 goals making it a convincing 4-1 victory.
A great performance by the whole squad who have now qualified for the next round of the competition to be held on the Tuesday 28th February. Thank you to all the parents who came out to support the boys in less than ideal conditions!
