Weekend Roundup - 19/10/2024

The Men's 1s got back to winning ways after the disappointment of the previous weekend beating Halifax 1s by 4-1. Chesterfield dominated the game, scoring through Ryan Speed, Dan Molloy and Captain Jack Hartley was also twice on the scoresheet. Halifax did score a consolation goal but it was too little, too late.

Huddersfield Dragons 2s beat Chesterfield 2s at St Mary's in a tight encounter by 2-1. Dragon's took the lead through a deflected shot, in a first half that neither side took control of. Chesterfield dominated for a long period in the second half, creating opportunities only to be thwarted by the Dragons keeper. Jamie Gooden eventually scored for Chesterfield from a penalty corner to level the game. Huddersfield fought back though and scored a second to take the win. New signing Will Bellamy starred in midfield and was awarded man of the match.

The 3s had an early fixture against Sheffield Bankers 6s, winning comfortably by 8-1.
What was a tricky fixture on paper turned into a very strong team performance. Leading 3-0 by half time they looked relaxed, until Bankers scored and gave them a scare. This spurred the team into action and they decisively scored 4 more without reply. Scorers were Max Lawson (3), Dave McCormick, Rob Anderson (2), Luke Fishleigh & Will Winter-Smith.

Last up in the Men's section the Men's 4s lost 5-0 at home against Sheffield 6s. They will go into the half term break knowing they have an easier run of opponents up to the Christmas break and will be looking to gain some points by the festive period.

Michael Rebbetts badgers team played Doncaster's development team winning by 3-2. Goal scorers were Ted, Zac & Oscar. Fantasic sportsmanship from both sides and both teams showed some great moments of hockey too.

The Women's 1s had an early fixture at Abbeydale against Sheffield 2s, losing heavily by 10-0. Player of the match was awarded to Chloe Witts.

There was no game for the 2s, as their opposition conceded the fixture as they couldn't raise a team. It's been stop/start so far for the 2s this season, playing 3 games only and being gifted 3 walkovers too.

Last up the 3s lost 2-0 to Sheffield 5s. Sheffield dominated possession but struggled to get past goalkeeper, Lauren Martin, only scoring in the final minute of the first half. Chesterfield defended well and they counter attacked whenever possible against a strong Sheffield team but just couldn't do enough to get a goal.

Next weekend is a league slip week to coincide with half term, but we will run a turn up and play game for men & women teams if we have enough players.
