General Hockey RHS

3rd VII v Felsted (W 5-2)
Away at Felsted, the 3rds played with confidence with a final score of RHS 5 Felsted 2. Cantelo scoring twice and other goals by Harwood, Smith and W-Gray. The highlight of the match was watching Cam Kerr beat 4 players and the goalkeeper, then miss an open goal. Man of the match was Tom Harwood.

2nd VII v Felsted (L 1-0)
The game was very even and a fair score would have been 1-1 but RHS hit the post and the Felsted goalkeeper dealt with anything RHS threw at him. Will Matthews played well in mid-field as did Will Anstey in defence.

1st VII v Felsted (L 2-0)
The 1st team recorded a disappointing loss despite being in the ascendancy for most of the game. RHS began the game slowly but gradually played as a team. The second half saw RHS carve some clear chances but they could not put the finishing touches to the excellent build-up play.

The juniors took 6 teams away to Gresham’s on Saturday for their third fixture of the season. 

Junior 1st VII (L 4-3) The junior first team lost 4-3 in a game which ebbed and flowed. A hatrick from Fergus Atkins gave RHS their three goals while some stunning saves from Max Orr at the other end kept RHS in the game. The team continue to show promising improvement and are making steady steps towards playing some good hockey.

Juinor 2nd VII (L 5-1) The junior second team had a very poor first half and were 4-0 at the break. They pulled themselves together and came out fighting in the second half. A fine move resulted in a goal for Fin Anderson at the back post to level the second half 1-1, and make the final score 5-1.

3rd VII A valiant effort against a much stronger opposition who moved the ball swiftly and with a directness we struggled to cope with. Our attacks down the right gave us hope and we manufactured a number of chances that we were unable to convert. Full credit must go to the players for their determination and perseverance.

4th VII (L 3-1) This was a display of endeavour that deserved a little more return than it got.  Some strong driving play from Ed Fairley in midfield and the energetic efforts of Waylett and Crallen gave us constant hope of a victory.  Sadly the opposition were more decisive in front of goal and ran out deserved winners 3 – 1.

Junior 5th VII (D 3-3) The fifths took part in a tight match where the lead changed hands. Superb goalkeeping from Max Cullinane ensured RHS went into the break 2-1 up. Although the lead was lost, a late mazy run and accurate shot gave Cory Stone his hat-trick and the side a deserved 3-3 draw.

Junior 6th VII (W 1-0) The sixths went down to a last gasp goal, having more than played their part in a tight encounter. Nick Males defended stoutly and Felix Lucas showed he can strike a hockey ball beautifully. Credit must go to Luke Clark-Smith whose dedication to the cause involved a headed save at one point.

General Hockey RHS

On Saturday four Junior teams travelled to Orwell Park:

Junior 1st XI v Orwell (L 4-0)
The junior first team came up against a very strong opposition and lost 4-0. Some great goalkeeping from Max Orr kept RHS in the game.

Junior 2nd XI v Orwell (W 4-1)
The junior second team came out resounding winners 4-1.  Captain Apakuki Daunakamakama made the difference on the day.

Junior 3rd XI v Orwell (W 1-0)
The junior third team won a close match 1-0. Some excellent defending from Hamish Comonte was the highlight for RHS.

Junior 4th XI v Orwell (W 2-0)
The junior fourth team made it three wins out of four at Orwell Park as they finished 2-0 winners. Some brilliant team play tore through the hosts at times with great style.

The U14s and U15s were away at Greshams:

U14B v Greshams (L 4-2)
The B team went 4-0 down in the first half, rallied in the second but fell short losing 4-2.

U14A v Greshams (W 1-0)
Xavy Bull and Charlie Kilham held Greshams at bay after a slow start.  RHS slowly came into the game through excellent link play from Ben Arulampalam and Will Christmas. Toby Lee,  Olly Leggett and Thomas Sumner were also excellent. RHS created lots of opportunities but the deadlock was finally broken when Zach Puckey scored with a smart finish. 1-0 to RHS.

U15B v Greshams (W 5-3)
The B team worked tirelessly to keep a fast breaking Greshams side under wraps and a very good all round display saw RHS run out winners 5-3. Olly Williams with 2 and Matt Saxby with a hat-trick, one of which is a contender for goal of the season!

U15A v Greshams (L 2-1)
The 15A team put together 60 minutes of great hockey making progress with their new formation. Ben Price chased down a ball to beat a Greshams sweeper and deliver a goal early in the first half. A hard-working defence kept the opposition at bay until they scored a late first half goal. In the last 10 minutes, Greshams secured the final score to win 2-1.

At Home against Greshams:

3rd XI v Greshams (L 2-1)
At home, the 3rds ventured onto wet and muddy grass losing 2-1. Greshams were the better side in the first half and at 1-1 the score was flattering RHS. Man of the match was shared between Tom Harwood and George Petrides. Captain Max Dixey also deserves a mention.

2nd XI v Greshams (W 4-0)
The 2nds produced a very well executed 4-0 victory; RHS dominated possession from early in the first half and remained in control until the final whistle. Fast interchanging of passes developed into moves straight from the training ground and goals came in open play and from penalty corners. Toby Eaton and Brendan Tait shared the goals.

1st XI v Greshams (L 4-1)
The 1st XI will reflect on missed opportunities against Greshams. RHS created some excellent opportunities in the first half but could not convert. Greshams scored early in the second half and RHS bounced back with a well-worked corner routine being finished by Man of the Match, Tom Miller. RHS began to tire, while Greshams stepped up to leave the scoreline at 4-1.

Hockey

U13B v Old Buckenham Hall (L 4-0)

The RHS players started off really slowly despite a lengthy warm up and were soon bombarded by OBH attacks which resulted in 3 quick goals. The girls redeemed themselves in the second half and started to play some good flowing hockey. Unfortunately Goal Keeper Molly Irving was injured and had to be replaced. OBH managed to score resulting in a 4-0 defeat. Molly Williamson added strength to the RHS attack and Captain Holly Folkard-Smith showed her usual solid defensive skills as Centre midfield.

U12A v St Joseph’s College (L 2-1)

An early goal from Molly Entwistle put the RHS team in a commanding position however St Jo’s scored before half time and then again against the run of play early in the second half. The RHS team, despite numerous long corners, could not convert. Player of the match was Charlotte Stenning in defence. Final score 2-1.

U12B v St Joseph’s College (W 3-0)

Starting off full of confidence RHS played some very good hockey using each other and looking for the early pass. A great goal from Amelia Anderson started the ball rolling and then Morgan Thomas added 2 more in the second half. Freya Guckian had a good game as left midfielder as did Lily Provan in defence. Rosie Butler had her best game yet in goal.

U13A v St Joseph’s College (W 7-0)

The A team played away at St Jo’s and proved the stronger team coming home triumphant. Tilly Arulampalam scored 3 goals, Millie Salter 2, Tor Williams 1 and Catie Bennett another 1. The player of the match was Catie Bennett for her outstanding performance as striker.

U13B v St Joseph’s College (D 1-1)

The B team played a very even match and the final score of 1-1 was a fair reflection of the play. Molly Williamson and Lucy Wilsher player very well and Lauryn Marshall scored an excellent goal. Player of the match was Shennise Robertson.

2nd XI v Ipswich High (L 1-0)

The second XI suffered a cruel defeat to Ipswich High on Thursday as they conceded with the last touch of the game to lose 1-0. Some bright runs from Chloe Tribe and Cesca Morelli threatened for RHS but no breakthrough came until the visitors capitalised on a final play short corner.

2nd XI v Woodbridge (L 2-1)

The second XI lost 2-1 away at Woodbridge on Saturday. A weakened team went 2-0 down before an excellent goal from Flo Peacock got RHS back within touching distance. Despite a much stronger second half, RHS couldn’t score another and were unfortunate to finish 2-1 down.

3rd XI v Woodbridge (D 0-0)

The 3rds played an end to end thrilling match away at Woodbridge, but remained goalless. RHS had a stronger second half and Tabitha Palmer showed determination throughout. Some excellent saves from Alice Vickers ensured a 0-0 finish.

U14 v Woodbridge (D 2-2)

The U14A team continued their season against a well-drilled Woodbridge team; RHS raced out of the blocks and took a two goal lead thanks to good play from Captain Beth Dwerryhouse. In the first twenty minutes RHS played their best hockey of the season with Kyla Conway and Amelia Kightley-Webb looking particularly strong. However, after such a good first half RHS were guilty of taking their foot off the pedal and allowed Woodbridge to come into the game. Despite some very good performances, RHS could not maintain their lead and the game finished 2-2. Player of the match was Amelia Kightley-Webb.

U15A v Woodbridge (W 4-0)

The whole team really pulled together last week to earn an excellent 4-0 victory over Woodbridge. Although determined from the start and leading 2-0 at half time, the players did not really show their true colours until the second half. Olivia Jones scored twice with deflections from crosses and Millie Orr added two, one from a short corner set piece and one from a deflection from the goal keeper. The team kept their composure and structure showing skills gained in practice and training. Well Done!

1st XI v Ipswich High (D 0-0)

Tuesday saw the 1st XI take on local rivals Ipswich. A hugely frustrating game as all four forwards bombarded the Ipswich goal. Emily Davidson Brett, Charlie Baldwin- Cole, Beth Richardson and Annie Fenton were all beaten by the superb goal keeping skills of the Ipswich keeper. The score ended in a goalless draw.

Hockey

Junior Teams v Culford

U13A

The girls started very well and scored a goal within the first 5 minutes. Culford fought back and the first half was fairly evenly matched

RHS stayed focused and scored 2 more goals in the second half with fluid play throughout, leaving the final score at 3—0. Libby Parker was making some good tackles and working well with Annie Tavainevasi in defence. George Nicholls made some excellent saves in goal, including a spectacular dive. Millie Salter scored a text book goal from a short corner.

Player of the match was Libby Parker. Goals were scored by Tilly Arulampalam, Tori Williams and Millie Salter.

U13B

The U13Bs took yet another step of improvement in their hockey on Wednesday. However, some naive play and, at times, lack of thought left the girls coming away with a 3-2 defeat. A strong midfield performance from Emily Fretwell was the highlight for RHS.

U12A

This was a very even match with play flowing from end to end. RHS were solid in defence with Ruby Parker and Charlotte Stenning clearing the ball skilfully. Unfortunately Culford were the team to score after many chances on both sides.

Final score 1—0 Culford. Player of the match was Ruby Parker.

U12B

This proved to be a great game for the B team; they started off very positively and focused and showed real determination in their attacking skills, trying hard to implement skills learnt in practice.

Rebecca Sweeney dominated the middle area as did Isabelle Butler in defence however; Eliza Tribe was the star of the show scoring a hat-trick. She was player of the match for her attacking drive and determination to score. Rosie Butler also had a good game in goal keeping the Culford team out of winning contention

Final Score 4-2

U13A&B, U12A v Orwell Park

U13A

The U13 A team played a strong side and rose to the challenge. The game was fast and skillful. Tilly Arulampalam controlled the play very well from the centre and Millie Salter scored an excellent goal in the first half. George Nicholls made some spectacular saves and the half time score was 1—0 to RHS. Orwell started the second half with determination and were rewarded with a goal. Annie Tavainevesi was marking closely in the circle and was very strong in defence.

Unfortunately RHS had 2 injuries which affected our rhythm and the final score was 3—1 to Orwell. Player of the match was George Nicholls for exceptional goal keeping.

U13B

The U13 B team had a resounding victory on Saturday against Orwell park.

The girls were strong in attack and were 5—0 up at half time. Holly Folkard -Smith was strong in midfield. The final score was 8—0. Player of the match was Beth Carnell, scoring 4 goals.

U12A

On Saturday the team played against Orwell Park U13B, after a promising start the team were unable to convert their moves out of defence and really struggled with their passing skills, despite having tackled and won the ball. The final score was a disappointing 7-0 loss. Player of the match was Charlotte Stenning. Thanks must go to Rosie Butler who deputised in goal, playing for the A team for the 1st time.

Senior Fixtures

3rdX v Woodbridge

On Tues the 3rdX1 played against Woodbridge at home. Going out strong from the beginning they dominated in attack. The final score was 2-0 with player of the match Shannon Holdway scoring both goals.

U14A v Wymondham

Despite losing the game, the under14 A team gave their performance of the season so afar playing some excellent attacking hockey. Captained by talented midfield Beth Dwerryhouse, RHS created lots of opportunities to score. The defence looked very solid, showing good determination and spirit. Izzy Pearson played her best game yet, scoring an opportunistic goal from a short Corner. Beth Dwerryhouse scored a breakaway goal, but we just ran out of time losing 3-2. Well done girls, we are improving with every game.

2nd X1 v Wymondham

On Saturday the 2nd XI returned to winning ways with a 4-0 victory over Wymondham College. A brace a piece from Cesca Morelli and Flo Peacock settled the result as the home team controlled the majority of the game. Excellent 2nd XI debuts from Simone Rossouw, Millie Ainsworth and Millie Orr just put the icing on the cake for RHS.

1st X1 v Wymonham

The 1st XI played with grit and determination to secure a 3-3 drew against Wymondham on Saturday. Although RHS started both halves brightly, Wymondham scored against the run of play. Undeterred, RHS played confidently and some excellent build-up play by Sophie Opielok lead to superb goals from Charlie Baldwin-Cole, Alina Lelke and Hannah Dale. Player of the match was Alina Lelke.

Hockey

The U13As and Bs had triangular games against South Lee and King’s Ely on Wednesday 6 November. The U13As played King’s Ely first and, despite constant pressure and some excellent shots, the result was a scoreless draw.

Against South Lee, RHS conceded 2 goals early on. They had a very good structure in the attacking circle which kept our defence hard at work. Player of the match was Annie Tavainavesi who played a solid defensive game and cleared the ball really well.

The U13Bs drew 0-0 against Kings Ely in the first game and could have won the game if not for a few squandered chances. In the second game they came up against a strong South Lee side and were well beaten 5-0. Despite the results, two strong performances from Annie Paddon stood out.

On Saturday the senior teams had a block fixture against Framlingham.

The 1st team had a great first half against a weakened Framlingham side. Initial play was end to end with both teams trying to find their rhythm. RHS played some fluent hockey and set pieces such as their transfers around the back worked very well. Framlingham proved too strong in the end having scored one in the first half and adding another three in the second. RHS did not give up and gave their all in a very competitive game. Sophie Opielok worked extremely hard in defence orchestrating the team both in attack and defence. The outstanding RHS player was, however, the Captain and Goalkeeper Hannah Corrie. Her focus and concentration on the ball was superb and she supported her players with real commitment.

The 2nd team were away to Framlingham eager to return to winning ways however the RHS girls gave two goals away in very charitable fashion. A better second half followed but the girls could not break through a stern defensive line from the hosts. The game finished 2-0 but there were strong performances from Cesca Morelli and Bella Murrison along with the ever-reliable back line.

The 3rd XI played a mid-week fixture against St Felix with Tabitha Palmer being player of the match and on Saturday they played an even-sided game against Framlingham. Bethan Davies added spice to her performance with a reverse sweep shot at goal to gain an early lead. The defence worked hard throughout with Charlotte Heley named player of the match. Unfortunately Framlingham made a late goal to equal the score.

The Under 15A team played a great second half against Framlingham after a first half in which the opposition took advantage of a lack of structure in our defence. A late rally by Sophie Rennison and Millie Orr created several close scoring opportunities, but it was too little too late resulting in a final score of 5-0.

The under 15Bs started out well against Framlingham, showing some strong defensive play and aggressive attacks down the left side however, due to a cocktail of errors in the D, RHS conceded several short corners from which Framlingham scored. This resulted in a disappointing 3-2 loss but special mention should go to Captain Sophie Jenkins, Jess Irving, Ellie Brown and Martha Torrington.

The U14As had a good first half but were unable to sustain the pressure in the end from Framlingham and lost heavily. Tiredness showed in the last quarter despite determined efforts in defence by Jorgyella Thorpe and Captain Beth Dwerryhouse.
