Dragons hockey players battle it out

LOCAL hockey–goers were flat out over the weekend with games in Albury. Under 12 Girls The girls played the very strong North Albury team. Lily Radnor played really well defending the goal without a goalie's kit, well supported by Jordana Moore and Greta Le. They were able to keep the opposition to only eight goals, an admirable result that really shows how far they have come as a team so far this year. Kiana Lane was fantastic in the attacking line, winning the Wangaratta Club player of the match. Olive Murray, Ellie Samson and Adara Evans had a number of attempts at goal, but unfortunately couldn't convert. They play Beechworth at home in Wangaratta this week from noon. Under 17 Girls Top of the table, United were the opposition this week. With a full team for the first time the girls showed more confidence than they have previously and did well to keep the score to 6–0. Amelie Griffin again saved many goals, backed up by Abby Brown and Tully McGahey. Lily Gibb played centre half, showing that this is her best position. She tackled well and passed many balls to the attacking squad of Ellie Samson, Chloe Collins and Ada Wheeler. Ellie Samson received player of the match for her tenacious attacking as the mist came in. Playing Falcons this week, the girls are looking forward to a great match. Women's The ladies had a hard game against the Wombats, pushing the whole game. The winning goals came in the fourth quarter, from some continual attacking in their goals. The ability to come together as a team when they had to dig deep was satisfying to watch. No one gave up on the belief that they would win by sticking to the plan. Well done to the team on a hard game, thanks to the Wombats for pushing us. Men's The men played a really tough game on Saturday, the Wombats were again very strong in attack. Club president Daniel Warner and Anthony Couche were again very impressive leading the defence. Goalkeeper Philip Fitzgerald was amazing making a spectacular save against a penalty stroke which stopped us going down to the Wombats. Young guns Andrew Groves and Samuel Couche were once again impressive and improving every week.
