Bishop’s Stortford

Saturday 28th January 2014

1st VII
Won 27-12
The players were very excited and geared up for the game. After the first quarter very little separated the two teams and it was looking like it was going to be a very close contest. In the second quarter Felsted managed to break ahead thanks to our defence making some great intercepts and enabling us to turn the ball over. At half time the lead had grown but wasn’t untouchable. Felsted continued to play with great determination in the second half and Mollie Stonham and Maddie Smith played some amazing feeds into the circle, enabling Hayley Young and Tamara to put lots of shots up. The final score was 27-12 and BSC voted Tamara Evans as player of the match. This is the second year running that we have beaten Bishops Stortford which is a fantastic achievement. Well done to all the 
players. 

2nd VII
Won 27 - 26
The game started with Bishop’s Stortford dominating play and they were winning for the first three quarters. At times, Felsted managed to draw level a few times, but it was not until the final quarter that this was sustained. Felsted only started to get ahead in the last 5 minutes of the game! All players showed determination and discipline in their play and this paid off.
Player of the match: Charlotte Volf.

3rd VII
The thirds played a strong Bishop’s Stortford side. Stortford got off to an impressive start, but a committed Felsted defence did well against the tall shooters. Sophie Cuthbert, player of the match, was determined and inspired the team with her enthusiasm. Felsted won the final quarter but unfortunately it wasn't quite enough to claim an overall victory.

U15A
Lost 25-28
The U15 A team faced a tough match against Bishop’s Stortford College.  The girls started strongly with an equal first quarter. However, in the second quarter the girls seemed to drop the pace and as a result, the opposition pulled ahead by a few goals.  In the second half we showed promise, fighting back and all the girls played extremely well.  The final score was 25-28, narrowly missing out on a win.  Well played to all the girls, with Georgina Stevens as a player of a match and we hope for a better result against Haileybury on Saturday.
