Nottingham Hockey Tournament – Boys’ Team Progress Report

The boys have completed five matches so far in the Nottingham Hockey Tournament, showing grit, skill, and determination throughout.

The tournament kicked off last night with a tightly contested opener against the Northern Ireland Giants. Despite some early nerves, the boys dug deep to secure a hard-fought 1–0 win, with Zack J grabbing the only goal.

Today featured a packed schedule with four matches, and the team rose to the challenge:
1. Vs Guernsey – The day started strong with a confident 5–0 win.
Scorers: Evan (2), Ollie, Zack, Steff
2. Vs West Panthers – A tougher fixture, but the boys held their own to claim a 3–1 victory.
Scorers: Zack, Evan, Dylan
3. Vs North East – A bruising, physical battle saw the Dragons reduced to 10 men twice, but they kept their composure for a solid 2–0 win.
Scorers: Zack, Trystan
4. Vs Tensworth – After going behind early, the boys showed real resilience and firepower to come back and win 4-1.
Scorers: Evan, Finley, Ollie x2

The team has shown immense character, working tirelessly in blistering conditions, and their efforts have earned them a well-deserved spot in tomorrow’s semi-finals.

Player Shout-Outs:
• Defence: A rock-solid performance all day from Steff, Ethan, Ted, Eli, Tom, and Rhodri, who worked relentlessly to keep the opposition at bay.
• Goalkeepers: Huge credit to our keepers Ffelix and Toby, who conceded just 2 goals in 5 matches – an outstanding effort between the posts.
• Midfield: Endless energy and control from the engine room – Gabe, Dylan, Finley, Jac, Evan, and Mack – who battled hard and drove the team forward.
• Strikers: Up front, Zack, Ollie, Trystan, and Josh brought flair, speed, and crucial goals to lead the line.

On to the next challenge – let’s go Dragons!
