After an eventful day of running around from captains Jess W and Charlotte M and the lovely Miss Oliver, King’s were finally allowed a somewhat limited amount of spectators for the game against RGS. The game began on the brand new floodlit RGS and Worcester HC pitches and it was eventful from the off. Both teams seemed to want to let the other team attack but they each had their first looks at scoring in the first quarter. After a bombardment of short corners, one of which resulted in an injury to England youngster Bryony G, RGS finally broke the deadlock just before half-time.

After the interval, King’s continued to battle but struggled to find any real opportunities to hit the back of the RGS net. Good saves from Jaime L and Amy H and brilliant ‘wheels’ from speedster Louisa D-V kept King’s fighting in the third quarter. When the fourth quarter began, King’s looked likely to score against the weary RGS defense. Constant pressure from Milly C, Hannah W and Henny A meant chances were in abundance but King’s still couldn’t find an opening.

Brilliant midfield runs from Charlotte M, Jess W and Lucy W and a great save from Amelia T made King’s look like they could snatch a late one, however their final efforts were in vain and RGS gained the victory. All the players should be really proud of themselves as they showed great heart to keep fighting till the end. This first loss means Kings still hold a 2-1 advantage over RGS in the ‘big games’ with the Super Ball and The Challenge Cup still to come.

Player of the Match- Louisa D-V.
