Burton Hockey Ladies 1s returned to winning ways at the weekend in a double header beating Shrewsbury 3 2 and then Towcester 3 1.. Burton opened the scoring against Shrewsbury with a beautifully executed short corner in the early minutes of the game; Elizabeth Snelling getting a deflection on the back post. Burton had chances to double the scoreline but couldn’t convert and on  had some scrappy defensive periods . Burton conceded a defensive short corner from a bouncy fluke of a straight strike bounced straight over the defenders sticks and into the goal to make it level at 1-1. Burton perked up in the last 5 mins of the half with Hannah Tjon Soei Len finding the goal after some one, two work with Nicola Taylor .Burton had even more chances, pressing the ball high in the Shrewsbury end of the pitch but it was still 2-1 at half time.

Hannah TSL got her second of the game with some great speed past the defence, rounded the keeper and fired from a tight angle into the sideboard. With a 2 goal cushion, Burton hoped to sail to the final whistle but Shrewsbury made it difficult. The closing 15 minutes Shrewsbury bombarded the 25 and had several short corners.  Despite Harriet Buxton’s excellent sprinting out on the shorts, one snuck in and left the score 3-2 at the final whistle.

Man of the match shared between goalscorers Hannah and Snelling

On Sunday, Burton went behind in the opening minutes when a Towcester player took a run down the right wing, crossed the ball into the D and found a Towcester stick for the deflection into the net. Burton caught slightly off guard, composed ourselves and prepared to get themselves back in the game.

They pressured the opposition’s 16 yard hits, intercepting many of these and creating chances in the D but could not convert. This pressure continued throughout the first half and Towcester struggled to take control of the game. Finally Burton’s luck in the D changed and a short corner awarded on the final whistle of the first half was converted by Sophie Carlton-Greaves after another well executed routine.

The second half saw Burton with more opportunities but again lacking the final pass in the D. Amy Palmer put Burton ahead in the game with a strike in the D, firstly saved by the keeper but she jumped on the second ball and slapped it high into the left corner of the goal. Now ahead in the game Burton relaxed slightly which allowed Towcester to creep up the pitch and Megan Bignell made some crucial saves. A disallowed goal for Towcester shocked Burton into action and they continued to press up the pitch to extend the lead. After many chances Nicola Taylor found the goal with a lovely reverse stick sweep that flew past a number of defenders and found the backboard.

Final score 3-1 and all round good performance and the six points mean it is close at the top after Olton lost this weekend..

Burton Hockey ladies 2s faced a strong staveley team, hoping to gain 3 points in the match that could decide 2nd in the league.

Staveley were on it as soon as the starting whistle blew and came quick on the attack. Burton began to find their feet within the game, opposing many strong attacks against staveley's defence. Staveley were quick to break though, with a first time touch in the air, catching everyone off guard, finding the back of the net for the lead.. Burton fought really hard to try and equalise before the end of the first half, with many attempts, they were unlucky not to score.

After a very positive team talk, Burton were ready to tackle the second half, knowing the points were still in reaching distance. Burton kept fighting and dominated play but couldn't score and lost 1 0 .

Man of the match went to Alice Hickman for her constant battling on the pitch.

Burton went 3-0 up in the first ten minutes, Findern had 1 attempt on goal early on but they were denied by the left kicker of keeper Alice Hawkins.. Burton had a bit of a dry spell goal-wise, but continued some good hockey across the width and depth of the pitch from the back line all the way to the forwards.
They put away a fourth just before half time for a 4-0 lead
Burton continued to dominate the second half. Any attempts from Findern were quickly cleared out by Emma Cantrill-Jones, Zoe Ridley, Sarah Harris and Helen Holland at the back. With good communication to Charlie Hughes and Olivia Dale and Michelle Cleaver in the middle.
With the  Hawkins only seeing the ball once in the second half the action was at the other end of the pitch as 8 more goals were scored for the 3rds biggest ever win 12 0.

Burtons Hockey Mens1 had to matches this weekend, Saturday’s fixture was against Coventry and North Warwick who were snapping at there heals in the league table. Burton started with the ball and set off to a very quick start, with the front line of Richard Stringer and Jamie Jenkins showing their blistering pace and their link up play early, allowed them to combine together against a slow defence to work the ball majestically down the base line which then ended up falling to Roshen Jay Jaswantlal who slotted home under the keeper on his reverse, putting Burton 1-0 up in the matter of minutes. Moments later Ben Elson was fouled winning a penalty stroke but Elson  failed to convert. Roshen then won another penalty stroke and Liam Goode stepped up this time and fired home to put Burton 2 goals up. A dodgy few minutes defending saw Coventry  awarded  their own penalty stroke which they slipped into the net to go to Half time 2-1 to Burton.

The second half saw Burton look to apply even more pressure and this seemed to be a very long half on a very warm day. Coventry saw very little of the ball as Burton kept on creating chance after chance. Burton had numerous short corners in the second half and failed to convert any.With 5 minutes to go Burton won a short. Injection was dragged out, Roshen messed up the stop, Tim Winter slipped the ball left for Goode, who then found Andrew Locker on the baseline who slipped the ball in the back of the net to put Burton 3-1 up and the match was closed out. 

Man of the match was shared between Nick Lathbury and Richard Stringer

Sundays Game  was against West Bridgford 2nd team, who started off the game looking to keep the ball for along as possible. Burton looked to run the 11-man side down with their speed and fitness and with multiple attempts on goal but didn't manage to do so in the first half. This was a pretty boring first half as it ended goaless.

The second half saw Burton continue to apply lots of pressure winning more and more short corners. Burton decided to work a routine instead of going for a straight flick, the ball was worked around well and ended up falling to Goode on the left-hand side of the D, who struck home on the reverse to put Burton 1-0 up. Burton continued to apply the pressure, but Bridgeford attacked on the counter attack and won a short corner which they converted. Burton applied more and more pressure in the dying minutes but Bridgeford won the ball down the right-hand side of the pitch and left them 5 on 2 at the back, they managed to work this around the remaining defenders and score their second of the day for the win.

Burton Mens 2s were on the wrong end of a 12 2 defeat by University of Nottingham 3s.


Burton Mens 3rds had another fine win 8 3 over Old Wulfronians.
Missing a few players, any concerns.  were quickly extinguished by Ike Zieliński-Raynor who latched onto the ball in minute one and found the back of the goal. Chasing Ganley for top scorer Ike picked up the ball in minute three and neatly rounded the keeper again for 2-0. Burton continued the Blitzkrieg hockey and veteran Kevin Stanyon showed his skill with two more goals. Throughout Simon Saccaggi was linking up nicely with Harrison Kemp who provided countless assists and then got a memorable goal of his own. Old Wulfs got one back to which Burton responded by running up the other end and following some great interplay between Tom Gibbs and captain Ben Meir ended in another goal to go to  half time 6-1 up. Second half Burton  took there foot off the gas a little and Wulfs scored a couple, but Man of the match Ike Raynor popped up with another couple. Frustration for defender, Rob Pilgrim who had been quietly watching the afternoons goal scoring when a short corner beckoned him from defence. He stopped, he shot, he scored then it was disallowed!
Burton Mens 4s had a comfortable 7 1 win over Newark 3s. A hat trick for Antony Kemp and a goal each for Ian Brown , Matt Mousley, Joey Ascott  and Paul Cleaver.
Burton mens 5th team took on Players and won 4 2
 Burton were the stronger team from the off and quickly converted a great pass from Rahual to Brandon Logan who scored a good goal. Players made a quick break from an opportunity that came to them and despite Gianni Di Fraris dive to try and save the ball couldn't prevent it from crossing the line. Burton held onto the structure well and making use of the full width of the pitch, a series of great passes saw Frank Franklin put the ball passed their frustrated keeper putting Burton in the lead. Burton played well through the rest of the second half, with good mid field play from providing good balls to the forwards from which Alex scored a third goal. Players were always quick to pick up the ball and had a couple of very effective forwards keeping the pressure on the defence and Di Fraris in goal  made a number of good saves. Going into the second half Burton were looking a little tired and the structured play began to break down a little. Players scored  and this  refocused the team a little. More good passing allowed Glyn Holland to fire a ball past all their defenders and their keeper who simply stood in their D looking stunned for the 4-2 win.
 

 

Burtons hockey club Men’s 1st team faced Bloxwich Men’s 1sts . Burton had a rocky start to the game, conceding within the first 10 minutes due a defensive error. Burton struck back with a good cross from Richard Stringer to Roshen Jay Jaswantlal at back post allowing him to slot a clever deflection past the keeper. Some good play from Ashley Harris allowed him to score with a shot that just managed to trickle over the line leaving the score 2-1 at halftime.

Liam Goode had a few chances to score from open play and shortcorners but unfortunately non had come to fruition, until the second half when Goode scored his first drag flick of the season.

Bloxwich came back and scored a lucky goal, a shot from the baseline left Jamie Cooper convinced that it was going wide which prompted him to shout to keeper Jack Smith to leave it. Unfortunately the ball hit the post and deflected in of Smith's kicker.

Goode then used his skills as the teams 3rd string dragflicker and put another one past the now flinching Bloxwich keeper.

Bloxwich were awarded a penalty flick in the last 10 mins but keeper, Smith stepped up the challenge and made an excellent save.

The final score was 4-2 Burton putting them 4th in the league.

Man of the match was shared by Stringer and Harris.



Burton Hockey Mens 2nds knew it

was going to be a tough match as Belper 2nds were 2nd in the league.

 

 

It started as  expected with Belper having most of the play and  they scored the first after  20 minutes. Burton responded by going on the attack and scored two quick goals the first from Owen Raw then followed by a belter from Matt Evans. At the half time you could see Belper where not happy and they came out in the second half with all guns blazing. For 15 minutes Burton held firm thanks to top keeping by Russell  Davenport and hard work in defence by Simon White, Miles Smurfwaite, Tom Shenton and Ben Wells .The turning point came when Captain  Graeme Hamblen had has his finger broken in a accidentally clash of sticks . Burton then conceded 3 quick goals for Belper to earn the victory there hockey deserved by 5 2. 


Burton Hockey Men 3s faced 2nd in the league Shrewsbury 2s and the lead up to the match proved difficult losing regulars,Stephen Goodfellow and Kev Stanyon to injuries. The immediate start was a little worrying as top scorer Toby Ganley took a hit to the face and clearly dazed went straight to the bench. Keeper,  Mark Bignall set about commanding his D and the rest of the team set about dismantling them. The defence of Keiran Whetton, Tim Glover, Rob Pilgrim and James Crane were solid. The midfield dominated with some strong displays from Simon Saccaggi and Dominic Sturman. Ike Zieliński-Raynor was a constant menace, supported by Tom Gibbs up front. Toby Ganley came off the bench after his head bashing and scored a hat trick before half time. Gibbs also added another stunner to go 4-0 up at half time. Burton came out with the same intensity in the second half.
Captain Ben Meir found himself deep in his own half and managed to get it out under intense pressure to Gibbs who passed to Saccaggi who went cross field to Sturman whose speed took him past one to find Ike and finally Ganley who slotted home in an amazing display of pass and move straight from the training ground. A good 5 0 win for the team a welcome return cameo from Dave Watkins. after he injured his jaw before Christmas.
A good win for Burton Mens 4s as they won 6 3 at North Notts 3. Goals from Ian Brown, 2 from Mat Mousley and 3 for Anthony Kemp.
Not to be out done Burtons Mens 5s picked up a 4 1 win against Derby 4s. Goals from Trevor Sykes, Brandon Logan, Scott Rhodes and Frank Franklin. The only disappointment an injury to the arm of Cae Di Frari after being hit by a stick.

A big disappointment for Burton Hockey Ladies 1s, who suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Solihull Blossomfield 1s at their pitch.

Burton dominated the centre of the pitch in the first and showed real fight to win the ball and created a number of opportunities. Unfortunately any attempts in the D either fell wide or were saved by their very competent keeper. On Solihull’s first break of the game they won a short corner which they slotted away from a rebound. A second short corner followed shortly after and a deflection routine saw the ball flying into the goal for another to take them to Half time with a 2-0 lead.

Heads not down, Burton emerged from the half time talk ready to pull the game back. Sadly the determination and desperation for a goal translated into some misplaced passing and Burton struggled to keep much possession this half. They did have a period of play that put a lot of pressure on the Solihull defence and shots from Nicola Taylor, Elizabeth Snelling and Hannah Tjon Soei Len all came very close to going in but were denied by the opposition keeper who was on fire. A green card for Chelsea Orr saw Burton sit defensively for a short while but credit to our defence that keeper Megan Bignell didn’t touch the ball once in the second half.

With minutes to go in the game, a short corner was won by Lucy Pendleton to give us a chance to get on the scoreboard. Burton used a well practised routine which saw Amy Palmer slap the ball hard into the bottom corner to make it 2-1.

Unfortunately they had no time to create another opportunity but  are still sitting happy at 3rd in the league with a 6 point weekend coming next week. Man of the match was  shared between Leigh Baker, Lucy Pendleton and Liz Snelling


Burton HockeyLadies 2s faced top of the table, Repton. realising that this was going to be a tough game, the team knew they had to give it their best as soon as the starting whistle went. Repton settled into the game from the go and immediately put pressure on the defence, who managed to clear the ball from the D many times. This continued throughout the first half with Burton making a few breaks. After 10 minutes, Repton managed to find the back of the net from a short corner. Burton quickly adapted to Repton's style of play and knew what was needed to stay in the game. This soon showed as no more goals were scored in the first half. Repton had many chances but these were quickly broken down by the defence or saved by the keeper, Angela Hughes, who made many crucial saves throughout. Half time score 1-0 to Repton.

After a positive team talk, Burton were ready to start the second half. Burton were trying hard to get the ball into Repton's half of the pitch and even the score. After some amazing team work and skill, Repton found their way back into our D and slotted their second goal,  Burton managed to get themselves on the score sheet after Shannon Dillon attempted the crossbar challenge and Susie Spruce managed to find the backboard. Not much happened after that besides a battle from both teams. Repton manage to find their third goal in within final seconds of the game. Final score was 3-1.

Man of the match went to Angela Hughes for her amazing saves and for keeping Burton in the game.

Burton Ladies 3s hosted Staveley at home .
Burton opened the game quickly scoring in the first minute from Izzy Ridley, quickly followed by another from Ffion Church for 2-0 in the first 5 minutes. The game started to flow and another attack from Burton resulted in another goal from Ridley. Staveley,  started playing scrappy hockey but Burton held firm and Staveley had minimal attempts on goal cleared either by keeper, Alice Hawkins or the back line.
Burton were confident going into the second half 3-0 up but Staveley appeared  got themselves into the game and pushed hard on the attack. Second half was settling in to be fairly quiet with numerous short corners that unfortunately Burton didn’t convert. a fourth goal came from Hattie Lester after the keeper came out, and the ball pushed around her and slotted in.
Goal number 5 came from a flick awarded for a foul on Kerry Westgate. Ridley stepped up and put the ball in the right hand corner to seal her Hatrick for the match and the final score was 5-0 and Ridley also took player of the match.

Burton Ladies 4’s had an amazing game away at Ashbourne drawing 1-1 even only having 9 players against Ashbourne’s squad of 15.

Burton started off the first half in a good formation considering the lack of players and quickly became the attacking team giving Ashbourne no chance at getting through the midfield. After  15 minutes Burton were 1-0 up after a cracking cross from Steph Thandi into the D and a straight slap into the back of the net from Clara Norcross. Burton kept their heads up throughout the first half defending Ashbourne’s quick attacks through the middle where we couldn’t cover their extra players and fresh legs.

Going into the second half 1-0 up they continued to battle and have lots of close chances to score again after some good attempts at goal from  Norcross, Anouska Hanegraaf, Izzie Hughes and Thandi. These efforts were being matched by our forwards Kacey Rice and Megan Geoffersons’ ruthless efforts in the D. Ashbourne put the pressure on towards the end of the second half as Burton were finding it hard to keep up the pace. The opposition had countless attacks which were defended by our four backs Natalie Walker,  Thandi, Hughes and Kirsten Dolman. Burton conceded a goal only ten minutes before the end with a lucky push past Tilly Winter in goals who had made some goal stopping saves throughout the game.

Man of the match was awarded to Norcross but overall a great team effort for the 9 players.

Burton Hockey ladies 2s travelled to Prescot for the quarter final of the England cup competition. Unfortunately they didn't quite get the result, with the final score finishing 4-1 to Prescot. Man of the match went to Amy Palmer for her hard work throughout the game.

 

Following a stunning comeback the previous week from the Jaws of defeat against Buxton 1st team the team was in a buoyant mood. On arrival in Wolverhampton they were met by a cold but sunny scene which had successfully defrosted the pitch. Burton piled on the pressure from the start, with a high press which resulted in panic amongst the Wolverhampton ranks. Toby Ganley chasing the teams league top goal scorer and Tom Gibbs linked very well. Captain Ben Meir, Simon Saccaggi and Harry Clarke were controlling the middle and Tim Glover, Stephen Goodfellow and Kieran Whetton provided stability in defence. They were easily taking the ball off of Wolves and passing around the back with effortless poise. It wasn't long before the pressure told and Ike Zieliński-Raynor put away 2 stunning efforts. Rob Pilgrim popped up with a 'hammer' from open play and was also key in winning a flick which was clinically dispatched by the evergreen Kevin Stanyon. Harrison Kemp also belted home to put Burton 5-0 up at half time. Their home squad of 16 were shocked and stunned, and Burton were on fire! Wolverhampton changed tactics in the second half and parked the proverbial bus and did score in the 2nd half but the job was well and truly done by then as Burton won 5 1. Man of the match with 2 stunning goals was Zieliński-Raynor. Next week they will want to keep this fine run going against second in the league Shrewsbury.
