Kent Women's Veteran's Tournament

Brombecks finished 2nd in the pool games after beating Burnt Ash by 3 goals to one (scorers Nicky F, Sam C and Alex B) despite monopolising the play against Faversham we only managed to beat them 1-0 (scorer Sam C) which lead to Scottie masterminding a change in tactics ahead of the toughest match against Sevenoaks. Sharon was superb, marking their most dangerous player out of the game and with 4 minutes to go we had held them to a 0-0 draw unfortunately they converted an unstoppable flick and the final score was 0-1.
This however was enough to take us through to the semi-final against Gravesend, winners of the second pool. Gravesend managed to score first but Nicky Fraser soon equalised with a cracking short corner which meant the final score was 1-1 and penalty flicks would determine the result.
Alison (women's first team goalkeeper and captain) was of course a star! saving all bar 2 of the twelve flicks against her! Unfortunately we were hopeless and only managed to score 1 flick from 12!!!!
So Gravesend went on to be beaten in the final by Sevenoaks!
Thank you to Gail for organising the event. Everyone had a great day of hockey and the vocal support from the sideline was much appreciated.
