Stowe 2nd X v Haileybury

The 2nd X team travelled to Haileybury on Saturday and came away with an exceptional 17-0 victory.

With just 10 players, the girls were facing a physically tough fixture, however they did not disappoint. With Bella Timmis on the draw, Izzy Russell and Eva Muirhead on the wing, Stowe won every draw in the first quarter. Goals from Bella Timmis, Suraya Hashimi, Izzy Russell, Millie Colebrook and Mary Jones brought us to 7-0 at the first whistle.

The second quarter brought lots of set plays, through some great leadership from Bella Timmis and Izzy Russell in the attack. Some great saves from Bea Pinner (4th Form) kept us a clean sheet, with some great clears as well. Goals from Bella Timmis, Mary Jones and Domino Flint Wood ended the half at 10-0.

Second half was full of great Lacrosse. We moved straight defenders Sofia Skjøtt, Chloe Pearce, Domino Flint Wood and Honor Leslie into the Midfield and Attack, they certainly did not appear out of place. Every goal in the second half was created as a full squad, with every player touching the ball and contributing to some impressive play. Seven more goals were scored, by Tilly Sherwin, Bella Timmis, Mary Jones and Chloe Pearce; with my personal favourite being Bea Pinner carrying the ball up to the half way line, being doubled by the opposition, clearing to Suraya Hashimi, then Izzy Russell, who transitioned it down to Mary Jones on the right wing who slipped the ball into the top left corner.

Overall, a great match for all. Bring on Tudor Hall on Wednesday!
