Fylde Hockey Club round-up: A full Saturday programme for Fylde's teams
Fylde Hockey Club’s various teams were in action on Saturday.
Eight Fylde Hockey Club teams were in action last weekend with the ladies’ firsts drawing 2-2 at Alderley Edge 1 in Women’s Conference North.
Fylde started the game strongly and were rewarded when they broke quickly on the counter and Rebecca Worthington made no mistake.
A second goal came in the 52nd minute as a well-worked penalty corner routine ended with Victoria Rukin deflecting the ball home.
The final quarter saw Alderley Edge pull one back with a penalty flick before levelling inside the final five minutes.
North West Women’s Division One saw Fylde 2 win 1-0 at Golborne and Prescot 1.
Fylde defended a number of penalty corners, with keeper Emily Byers making some great saves.
Camilla Wyles opened the scoring with a reverse shot before Fylde soaked up some pressure and won a feisty game.
In the same division, Fylde 3 delivered an outstanding performance to draw 0-0 at Winnington Park 1.
Hollie Guthrie scored a hat-trick as Fylde 4 lost 6-3 against Longridge 2 in North West Women’s Division Three North.
North West Women’s Division Four North (Central) brought a 4-3 loss for Fylde 5 against Clitheroe Blackburn Northern 3.
Having gone behind, Fylde led 2-1 at half-time thanks to Esme Bradley and Penny Atkinson.
Clitheroe turned the game around in the second half and although Bradley scored her second, Fylde were unlucky not to come away with at least a point.
Fylde 6 beat Lancaster and District Development 1-0 in North West Women’s Division Five North (Central).
They applied pressure from the first whistle and, after two unsuccessful penalty flicks, scored the winner in the 69th minute through Eloise Russell.
The men’s first team lost 4-2 to Ulverston South Lakes 1 in North West Open Men’s Division Three North.
Duke Jones put Fylde ahead before their opponents led 3-1 with goals either side of half-time.
Fylde fought back as Jones scored a penalty stroke but Ulverston netted again on the final whistle.
There was a 1-1 draw for Fylde 2 Development against Garstang 2 Development in their North West Open’s Men’s Division Five North game.
After a scoreless first half, Garstang eventually broke the deadlock before Ed Jefferson levelled for Fylde.
