Awesome four-some for Beford HC ladies

Bedford HC. wk 05.

Bedford HC. wk 05.


Published on Wednesday 1 February 2012 13:00

BEDFORD ladies secured a comfortable 4-0 victory at Colchester to continue their unbeaten start to 2012 in the East Women’s Hockey League Premier Division.

Without the services of regular goalkeeper Leanne Sargeant, Kate Costin stepped in to fill the void between the posts, with Nic Pether also returning to the first team squad.

Time constraints denied Bedford a full warm up and it took a while for them to get into their stride.

Across the midfield Bedford were supremely dominant with the trio of Katherine Winger, Sherri Skene and Yvette Van Yperen all involved in some great play.

Bedford kept the ball with ease and SJ Darrington was able to maraud forward from defence with great effect, setting up Bedford’s opening goal with a lung-busting run and pass to Fran Lee whose goalbound shot was tucked home at the back post by Natalia Norford.

Great tackling from player of the match Becky Childs and Elli Priston, who looked so assured at centre-back, help Bedford’s ball retention.

And they soon doubled their lead as Kelly Bingham and Andrea Mason combined to see Mason tuck the ball into the corner at the second attempt.

Unlikely dangers Winger and Sarah Walsh, on her reverse, both threatened, while Bedford had what seemed a legitimate goal chalked off as Lee’s flicked finished was adjudged to have been trapped on the wrong side of the stick just before half time.

After the break it was the same story as Bedfrod created chances and won a series of short corners, with Costin left twiddling her thumbs.

Van Yperen continued her goalscoring hot streak by powering in a rebound after her initial shot cannoned back off the keeper’s head.

Bedford pressed forward in search of more goals with Childs, Mason and Skene all denied by some sharp keeping. However, she was powerless to stop Bingham’s fourth after a fine pass from Lee.

With leaders Bromley and Beckenham losing again, it sets things up nicely for their trip to Bedford this week, push back 1pm at Bedford Hockey Club.
