Best opposition of the season make Timps beavers work for a draw

The was a game that could have gone either way, with both Formby and Timperley Beavers playing some great hockey. As the final whistle went a draw seemed the right result. This was a game that we genuinely end to end and whilst Timps perhaps didn't force as many saves from the Formby GK as they normally would it was reassuring that we had Ben who dealt well with the few times that Formby strikers breached our defence.
This was a true team result and it was obvious that everyone on the pitch gave 100% and played their best hockey of the season.
Notable performances from joint man of the match. Ollie Hatton in central defence who was a wall, seldom letting any of the talented Formby attack through on goal. He was well supported by Luke and Katie Guest both of whom demonstrated some awesome tackling and distribution down the wings. The centre of the pitch was bossed by Josh, Anna and Wilf all of whom worked in hard in attack and tracked back to complete defensive duties.
The two new girls to mixed Beavers hockey, Gabriella and Elena slotted straight in and looked very assured in their positions as coach Danny moved them between forward and midfield positions. Harriet was the linking player along the right wing pushing up to bring Eve and Katie up front into the game to trouble the Formby defence. Having conceded early in the first half it was reassuring to see our other man of the match Josh strike one into the bottom corner to take the scores to one all at half time. Despite being pinned in our own half for a considerable period of the second half the effort and team work from Timps meant that we didn't concede in the second half.
