Maidstone started the game brightly and dominated the first 15 minutes of play with some slick pass and move hockey but the forward line of Robyn, Liv and Hannah were frustrated at not being awarded several short corners. Despite this our mid line of Nikki, Jaime, Katie and Ellie continued to press exceptionally well and the deserved breakthrough came when Jaime put in a sublime cross from the right for Ellie to run onto and drill the ball home.
Meopham then began to attack more but the defensive line of Caroline, Smithy, Liv and Bella were doing a very organised job and any chances meopham had when shooting were saved by Nicky in goal. Unfortunately before the half was over and against the run of play Meopham were awarded a questionable short corner and Nicky had no chance stopping the well placed strike.
The second half saw Maidstone again be the more dominant team and both Bella on the left and Caroline down the right were doing a fantastic job driving us forward but unfortunately as a team just couldn’t find that winning goal. A hard fought team performance and an unlucky final score. Pom Caroline. Match report by Julie Davies.
