LEAGUE: EAST PREMIER DIVISION

RESULT: 0-2 L
REPORT:
With only a handful of matches before the end of the season Norwich bundled into a mini bus and headed to London to play Wapping Womens 1s.
Despite some early possession from Norwich, Wapping were quick to score from a strike that deflected off the right hand post player bounced off a Norwich City player and ended up at the back of the goal.
Norwich continued to defend however failed to convert the few chances they had, meaning Wapping went into the second half ahead.
The second half was again very defensive and with limited play and chances to score, Norwich struggled to get back into the game. Wapping, who built some great attacking play were quick to score a second goal.
Norwich didn’t give up, and fought strong until the end gaining more possession in the last ten minutes of the game however this was little too late and the final whistle went with no goals scored by the Norwich side.

HEADLINE: A tough result to accept.
LEAGUE: EAST PREMIER DIVISION
VENUE: Taverham
RESULT:1-2 L
REPORT:
Norwich City stepped onto the pitch with their usual positive attitude and was looking forward to their match against Old Loughtonians.
Norwich conceded a goal fairly early on despite some tough defending. With this in mind City were quick to build up momentum and a well worked ball around the goal keeper by player of the match Debbie Painter gave Norwich the equalizer.
Old Loughtonians put a lot of pressure on Norwich throughout the second half with all players defending well to keep the ball out of the back of the net. Both teams were fighting for the next goal and several green cards were shown to both teams as the match started to heat up.
Unfortunately, in the last 5 minutes of the game Old Loughtonians struck the ball and it hit City’s back board. Despite appealing due to the player and ball being outside of the shooting D, the goal was awarded and Norwich had to deal with yet another loss.
A week’s break will help re group our focus towards an away match at Wapping in a few weeks.

Norwich started strongly, and dominating the play were awarded a penalty flick, it was well taken but unfortunately bounced off the left hand post and didn’t enable Norwich to take the lead. Norwich continued to pile the pressure on Wapping with a few one on one attempts at goal and a few narrow misses, however unable to convert anything proved to be costly for the home side.
Shortly after Norwich conceded a goal; a straight strike gave Wapping the lead.
A solid half time talk followed and with the game in reach, Norwich worked well throughout the pitch and despite attempts at goal, were put under further pressure, enabling Wapping to seal their lead with two further goals, both from open play.
It was a positive performance from Norwich City, it was a game for both sides to enjoy and despite the result some excellent hockey was performed across the field and positive points have been noted ahead of the away game at Maidstone on Saturday 5th November.
