The Adders juniors took part in their first Warwickshire Mini tournament on Sunday. Travelling away to Coventry University pitch we took an U8, U10 and U12 team.
There was a super performance from our U10s! We had a large squad but they all worked so well together as they subbed on and off the pitch! It was the first tournament for Max Birch, George Darkes, Camilla Greenhall, Max Hendry, Oliver Spence and Charlotte Wilson, who all gained in confidence as they played. Harriet Jeans and Elsie Wooding played well in defence and James Currie played some great hockey in mid field and even bagged himself a goal. George Stokes showed potential up front.
Man of Match was shared between Goal Keeper William Sworowski for some superb saves and Freddie 'Hat Trick’ Wagstaff who scored three goals against Cov and North Warwick. They played three games winning, losing and drawing.

It was great to see the development of our U12 who had a good overall performance. Polly Barden, Milo Deadman and Hazel Matthews worked well together in defence and were supported by Goal Keeper Jack Gallon. Reuben Marshall, Daniel Kokarevics and Oscar Moore linked well in mid-field with Mairi Gibbs-MacLeod playing up front. Despite playing two very good games they couldn’t find the back of the net against Cov and North Warwick, but Oscar Moore scored a great goal against Nuneaton.

It was great to see our players supporting the other teams, well done to Jack and Mairi for playing for the opposition.

Thanks to all the coaches and parents for your continued support!
