With storm Bert settled, KS were back to playing after last weeks cancellations. The first half of the season had taken a toll on some of the KS players but they stood on the side line ready to support their team.

Plymouth Uni were going to be a strong side, which showed on the league table with them sitting in third place. With the strategy from the start to play a half court press, KSHC were going to play their game. The defence of Natalie Lake, Lisa BB and Tess Baker were strong to keep Uni away from the D. If they were able to get a shot away, Ellie Mallie dealt with it, with strong clearances.

Julie Lee and Violet stepped up to play for the 1’s and they worked hard in defence and up front. With sixteen minutes played Julie took a run down the right and crossed the ball into the D for Violet to slot home.

Plym Uni were not riled and continued to switch the play around the back and propel forward. This was awarded with them hitting the back board and drawing the game. Plym Uni went into the lead from a well worked short corned.

Fi Douglas worked tirelessly in the middle, intercepting the ball and passing it forward into space. Unfortunately, she took a stick to the face and had to leave the field. Later to discover she had broken her cheek bone.

Nikki Kidd gave the team talk at half time, which motivated the team to continue pushing on and be string and determined.

There were amazing passages of play with Hannah Cox running endlessly and making it hard for the Uni side. Helen had the defence twisting and turning to stop her going into the D or passing. Islay Box was driving down the right side and could out pace the defence. Although KS were down to no subs, they were able to get shots on goal and get the Uni keeper to make saves.

Lou Read was always in the right place and stepped through to intercept the ball or get the sneakiest of touches to take the ball. Ply Uni, with four subs were able to keep up the pace and had breaks to score. The whistle blew, the score was6-1 but KS had shown their passion and resilience to keep on going and work as a team.

There were votes for Julie, Hannah, Lou and Nat but with some incredible runs, commitment and overall amazingness Tess was man of the match. Thank you to Stuart and Roger for umpiring and to the Creeks End for providing match teas.
