Kingsbridge & Salcombe 2nd Team travelled to Plymouth to face Ocean City 2s for their eighth game of 2026, coming up against a strong opposition on a very warm spring day.

Despite the challenging conditions, the team showed great determination and spirit throughout the match. A special mention goes to Charlotte in goal, who had an outstanding performance on her hockey goalie debut. She showed real confidence coming out to meet the ball and made several crucial interventions, earning her a well-deserved joint Player of the Match.

Across the pitch, there were some excellent runs both down the wings and through the middle, creating positive attacking opportunities and keeping the pressure on the opposition. The defence worked tirelessly in the unseasonable heat, staying organised and resilient against a strong Ocean City side.

The team maintained great positive energy throughout, with a solid formation and strong communication evident from start to finish. It was a real team effort, with every player contributing, putting in the hard yards, and showing great fighting spirit.

Although the final score was unfortunate, the performance was full of positives. The team looked well-structured, committed, and determined, with plenty of encouraging signs moving forward.

Player of the Match was awarded jointly to Darcey for her excellent work in defence, and Charlotte for an impressive debut performance in goal.
