JUNIORS
The Junior section of our club is a complete inspiration. I had the pleasure of playing against 4 different childrens' teams today (Sunday), aged from 5 to 16. Blinking hard work, we adults would all agee, but great fun. The kids were fantastic and are obviously the future of our club. The unsung work done by Ian Ringham, Sarah Watts and MANY others is certainly worthy of recognigtion. Thanks.

A&C completed their undefeated league season with a resounding victory against bottom-placed Phoenix Ranelagh at Newland Park on Saturday. A&C took the lead in the first minute when Rachel Parker scored from a penalty corner.

Phoenix Ranelagh responded with their only penalty corner of the game forcing a save from Tanya Fyffe. However, it was soon one-way traffic for the rest of the half and Erin Ruxton instigated a number of chances and Natalie Durkin took advantage of these to score twice in the space of 5 minutes.

Four more goals in the space of 8 minutes really knocked the stuffing out of a plucky Phoenix side. Firstly, after 20 minutes, Catherine Watson scored after being set-up by Alex Teasdale. Then Ruxton dribbled through to score and Emma Hewitt then made it 6-0 before Gabriella Bugg netted on her 1st team debut.

The second-half continued in the same vein as the first and Annie Brothwell's strike from another penalty corner two minutes after the break recommenced the scoring. After 42 minutes, Caroline Coates drove in from the sideline and into the top of the D before firing past the 'keeper.

Another crisp strike from Brothwell to score was followed by two more goals for Watson, sweeping in at consecutive penalty corners. Coates scored her second of the game and Watson her fourth with just 3 minutes remaining to complete the rout and a very successful season for the Champions.
