3 OUT OF 3 & UNDER 11S STILL TOP

In an exciting days Roller Hockey at Cambridge Regional College, the Ely Under 11 team ensured they stayed top of the Eastern Counties table, with three wins out of three.
 
 
 In the first game vs. Cottenham, Ely raced off to a strong position scoring five goals in the first seven minutes, Heather Dunand with two and Ryan Norton with three. In the second half Cottenham fought back scoring three quick goals but Dunand and Norton continued to net for Ely ensuring a final result of 10:3 to Ely.
 
 
 The second game of the day proved to be the hardest. Ely started well with two goals early in the first half but Letchworth quickly adopted strong defensive tactics in order to limit Ely's attempts on goal. The Letchworth keeper, in fine form, also stopped a number of efforts. Letchworth broke quickly out of defence scored two goals to level the game at half time. After the break Ely continued the pressure but without success, and only strong keeping from Molly Williams and defence from Archie Salmon and Ryan Jackson prevented Letchworth from going ahead. At a crucial time however, with both teams tiring, Ely were awarded a penalty. Dunand took the spot kick and although the keeper initially saved the shot she scored on the rebound. This proved to be the key moment with further goals from Dunand and Norton ensuring a 5:2 victory.
 
 
 In the last game of the day against the leagues newest team Chesterton, Ely netted early on and continued in strong scoring form; Dunand and Norton bagged 4 and 5 respectively and Elliot Gordon also scored making it ten in total. A clean sheet for Williams ensured a 10:0 victory.
