LEAGUE: EAST DIVISION 3 NORTH EAST 
VENUE: Sherringham High School 
RESULT: North Norfolk 1’s 4 - 4 NCHC 4’s 
 
REPORT: 
Man of the match: Charlie Entwistle  
 
Arguably one of the best games of hockey the 4th xi will be involved in this season , having travelled to north Norfolk on a bare eleven in the windy weather. The start was far from ideal going down in the first minute through a big aerial, and then a general lack of gear change and some good hockey from north Norfolk left them going in at half time 4-0 up. Following a rallying team talk from the skipper, the 4s started to claw their way back into the game with Some good play. Following goals from Charlie Entwistle and Duncan Harris, Dan Jeffers grabbed the equaliser and the 4s were able to hang onto the win thanks to some stoic teamwork. A frankly brilliant comeback.

HEADLINE: City send Dragons packing. 
LEAGUE: EAST DIVISION 4 NORTH EAST 
VENUE: Taverham  
RESULT: Norwich City 4th XI 3:1 Norwich Dragons 
 
REPORT: 
With the rain pouring down, the pitch provided a perfect opportunity for some slick hockey from City. This quickly materialised with some precise play from City resulting in the first goal from Andrew Bell. 1-0. 
A dominant City side continued to create lots of opportunities, but unexpected saves from Dragons' keeper kept City at 1-0. This changed shortly before half time with a well worked short corner resulting in a goal from Ollie Millett. 2-0. 
The strong performance from City continued into the second half and was cemented by good saves from City’s keeper, Seb Kimber. However, a lucky deflection left a Dragons player clean through with a quick finish. 2-1. 
Nerves could've taken over with just a one goal lead, but City remained calm and settled the game with a beautiful finish from Luke Corden. 3-1.  
With a frustrated Dragons team, the game finished as a deserved win for City.
