Silver Medal and Promotion

This was all about not getting beat. They had a star studded line up but we were never phased by their superstars and showed no sign of nerves at all. A tight first half saw them take the lead from a short corner and we were denied an equaliser when Vikki rattled a penalty off the post. At half time the feeling was we were more than competing but had been unlucky.
The plan was simple we knew how to create chances we just had to take them. Amy Rowan did just that mid way through the second half finishing a planned move perfectly. From then on they threw everything at us knowing that a draw favoured us. Try as they might they just didnt have enough to break down our defence. CJ Becky and Carmin were all great at the back seiing them off time after time.
A brilliant day followed by a pretty good night and at the first time of asking we have joined the top flight of European Indoor hockey. Make no mistake its a big step up but bring it on. Anyone interested in a wee jolly to see some hockey??
