Tough day on the field

Friday, July 30, 2010

The A grade women's hockey team had a 3-1 loss against Mooroopna on the weekend.

Some great defensive work from Erin Thompson stopped many goals and kept Echuca in the game, but Mooroopna was just too strong.

Renee Davidson played a great game while Linda Coote and Lex Cell were also in the best.

The B grade men had a tough start to their game against Mooroopna, out-scored in the first half 4-0.

The Echuca boys came out and played a much better second half, but it was always a tough task, in the end losing 6-0.

Stu Williams had one of his best games of the season, while Hayden Larcombe played at his best, along with Adrian Rose.

The A grade men had a slow start to their game with lots of mistakes from both teams, however a great goal from Adam Thompson put Echuca in front in the second half.

Kieran Davies, Charlie Clark and Scott Robinson were the best.

The under 12s played Strikers and came off with a convincing win, 4-1.

With Lachlan Thompson having a stint as goal-keeper, the younger players were forced to work a bit harder.

The players positioned themselves well and Courtney Thompson was not afraid to take on bigger players.

In the second half the Rats picked up and, while it was hard fought, they came out on top for another win.

Goals: James Thomson 2, James Carter, Clayton Thompson.

Votes: James Thomson 3, Clayton Thompson 2, Wade Oliver 1.

Paige Oliver positioned herself well and strongly attacked the ball in a great team effort.
