Lytham St Annes Hockey Club round-up: Ladies prove clinical in front of goal

A fine start saw them lead on 20 minutes as Charlotte Robbins’ persistence paid off with the opening goal.

Half-time changes then led to a second half which LSA dominated, with Lucia Halliwell-Fletcher scoring a hat-trick.

Rosie Tang’s great game was also rewarded with a goal, slotting home a fine cross.

The firsts drew 3-3 in their match against Wigton 1.

Despite dominating the first half, LSA fell behind just before half-time.

The second half saw Jess Mason and Darley Harrison (2) put them 3-1 ahead with 20 minutes left before Wigton fought back to claim a draw.

Lytham’s men’s first team put in a good performance but lost 3-1 at Ulverston South Lakes.

They started well, only to see the home team lead 1-0 at half-time after which they doubled their advantage.

Although Andy Copeland managed to pull one back, Ulverston completed the scoring in the dying moments with their third goal.

There was a 2-2 draw for the seconds as they played Garstang Development.

The match began with LSA creating several good chances, though it was Garstang who scrambled home the opener.

LSA responded as a perfectly-executed short corner was finished off by Joe Briggs to make it 1-1 at the break.

The second half saw LSA take the lead as a fantastic team move ended with Briggs scoring at the back post.

Garstang started to push a little harder and ensured honours were even by converting a short corner with 10 minutes left.
