Le Dejeuner Catering Stratford Broadway hockey played New Plymouth Boys High School 1st XI on Friday.
Broadway, holders of the Premier Men's Challenge Cup at the time, struggled to keep up with the pace of a young, fit side. NPBHS dominated the goal circle and scored three quick goals before quarter time. Isa Butler-Mather gained a goal back from a shot on goal from a penalty corner but NPBHS continued to control the game until the whistle, handing over the Challenge Cup. Player of the day went to Butler-Mather.
On Saturday, the Matthew & Co Real Estate Stratford B Women played an outstanding game against Apex. The girls played brilliantly as a team, putting skills into practice. Score was 4-2. Player of the day went to Rebecca Sherie.
The CMK Women's A team took on the Northern Wildcats.
From the first whistle Stratford attacked well, the girls kept composed on defence and marking was strong. In the first quarter, Lara Williams scored off a set penalty corner and a field goal in the third. Wildcats got a few penalty corners in a row in the fourth quarter only scoring one, leaving it 2-1 to Stratford. Player of the day went Mia MacGregor and Demi Ward.
