Kingsbridge and Salcombe Hockey Ladies 1st Team delivered a commanding performance on Saturday 11th October at Kingsbridge, securing a 10–1 win over Okehampton 2s and maintaining their position at the top of the league.

From the outset, the home side demonstrated attacking intent, creating wave after wave of pressure. The opening half saw five goals from Kingsbridge and Salcombe, with fast breaks and slick link play proving too much for the visitors. Despite Okehampton’s goalkeeper making a series of impressive saves, persistence in the attacking D paid off. Julia led the scoring with four goals, supported by two each from Emma and Maddie, and one apiece from Laura K and Violet.

Okehampton managed a single goal in the first half, but Kingsbridge and Salcombe responded with composure and control. The second half showcased the team’s growing confidence, as they calmly worked the ball around the pitch, creating space and exploiting wide channels.

Coach Neil praised the team’s development, saying, “It was great to see us work the ball calmly and purposefully around the pitch, showing progress in what we’ve been working on at training.”

Player of the Match was awarded to Maddie for her outstanding work between midfield and attack, consistently driving the team forward and contributing to multiple goals.

With another convincing win under their belts, Kingsbridge and Salcombe Ladies 1st Team continue to set the pace in the league.
