REPORT: 
With a team of of nearly all attackers City were raring to play Mapgies 6s on a cold but sunny day at home. City held formation well with great passes from the defence to the forward line which gave Lucy McNarry and Sharon Philips great runs down the wings. City had a few chances on goal but finally a great strike from the top of the d by Maria Marsh got City their first goal and we were hungry for more. Magpies fought back and had some good breaks which kept our defence on their toes with great clearance balls from Allison McLellan and Vicki Myhill. There were very few short corners in this match but managed to converting one from Charlotte Jeffers which took the half time score to 2-0 to City. The Magpies came back strong in the second half but we fought back for possession which we managed to hold for most of the second half. Great passing from Maddie Smith to Amy Hinchliffe resulted in our 3rd goal shortly in to the second half and we kept strong until the end. A good spirited game by all.

REPORT:  
An early pushback and start to the weekend saw a good game of hockey against East Coast 3. It was a tad cool and windy but it didn’t dampen the hockey spirit. East Coast had first pushback and got the game off to a good attacking start with great defending done by our almost full attacking squad! Allison McLellan and Carol McNarry kept us all in line. A great pass by Allison McLellan down the wing to Lucy McNarry and on to Olivia Broadway saw the first goal. A short corner followed with a great goal from Maria Marsh. East Coast fought back hard which resulted in a goal. Half time it was 2-1. The second half City came out hungry for more goals. Maddie Smith had some great runs on the left with good passes to Amy Hinchcliffe and in to the D. After a few short corners which were well defended by City, Lucy McNarry's speedy runs on the right lead to another two great goals to complete the second half. Maddie Smith was a well deserved player of the match. It was a good game and East Coast were great hosts.

REPORT:A great spirited game was played by City against Herlings 1 away. City had first pushback and started with lots of great passes and Maria Marsh doing speedy runs to intercept balls on the right and good triangles down the wing lead to a great pass by Lucy McNarry to Olivia Broadway which resulted in our first goal of the game. Herlings fought back hard with lucky breaks keeping Allison McLellan on her toes and Zara Hunter had a great save from a one on one to keep the half time result to 1-0 to City. The second half City came out hungry for more goals, the play was evenly split with Herlings keeper making some good saves. Then City stepped it up to make it an attacking game which saw a great ball from Lucy McNarry passed in which deflected off the stick of Carey Briggs and Amy Hinchliffe tapped it in for our second goal. Shortly after a great run-on the right saw Lucy McNarry get City's third goal. Herlings were determined to get a goal in which came in the last part of the game. Final score was 3-1 to City with a well deserved player of the match for Zara Hunter. As always a great match tea by Herlings was very welcome and much enjoyed afterwards :)

REPORT:Having been unsure if the game would be cancelled due to weather, the call came and the game was on against Yarmouth 2s... the City Womens 5's were raring to go. City started off a little quieter than normal but soon the pace gathered and it became an attacking game. Lots of great switches across the defence and runs down the wings by Lucy McNarry resulted in the first goal by Sharon Philips. Amy Hinchliffe also had some great runs on the left with Maddie Smith and injecting in to the D and Olivia Broadway scored. Maria Marsh kept the ball on the move in mid field with great runs and passes too. Alli McLellan converted a short corner followed by another goal this time by Lucy McNarry with Sharon Phillips deflected a great pass from Olivia Broadway for the last goal of the first half. Half time result was 6-0. The second half was more tricky playing in to the sun and saw Yarmouth get a few breaks which kept our defence on their toes and Helen Lewis keeping any opportunities away from goal. Team spirit and better talking resulted in 2 more goals one from Allison McLellan's mighty strike at the top of the D and another by Maddie Smith who deflected a great ball in. Yarmouth 2s were great hosts.  
A great spirited game by both teams with the sun shining down on us, a very enjoyable game.

REPORT: From the outset City team spirits were running high and were keen to get a head start on the game. After 5 minutes, great team passing, calling and running in to space resulted in our first goal from Olivia Broadway. We kept strong and held our game but a lucky break saw Dereham get a goal shortly after that. Allison McLellan kept the team talking and great work by the defenders kept most shots away from goal with Zara Hunter saving any that got past the defence as there were some close calls as Dereham fought back after a goal from Maria Marsh. At half time the result was 3-1. In the second half great team play by City continued using the width of the pitch well, great runs down the wings (both on the left and right), good passing and seizing opportunities resulted in another 5 goals from Charlotte Jeffers, Amy Hinchliffe, Carey Briggs and Lucy McNarry. Everyone played so well. What a game!
