Danby were finding it hard to break down the Hartlepool defence and with it being 0-0 knew they had to do more in the second half and started strongly. It didn’t take long for Josie Bowes to intercept a Pool hit out and chip the ball over the keeper giving Danby the lead.

Following this Danby held possession and Kathryn Hogarth’s lovely strike opened up a 2-0 lead.

This goal was quickly followed by their third goal which was worked from a short corner where captain Katie Hodgson struck the ball from top D to Chloe Wilson on the post to chip it past the keeper.

With minutes left Danby continued to work the ball around the Hartlepool defence and with a strong ball in Nikki Graham hit the ball past the keeper making the final score 4-0.

Whitby Hockey Club Ladies were edged out 1-0 at North Shields Hockey Club on Saturday.

The visitors took a strong squad of 12 players, and the game started off very fast paced, both teams passing well and making the ball do a lot of the work.

Whitby defenders Siobhan Robinson, Rose Hall and Natasha Hill did an amazing job, forming a solid wall, keeping all balls clear of their defensive area.

Goal keeper Kirsty Dixon also performed sensationally.

After a stern team talk from coach Marcus Coates, the visiting team set out in the second half fighting and putting pressure on Shields.

Whitby were unlucky not to be able to find the back of the net as Millie Storr made some fantastic runs down the right wing.

Shields opened the scoring and with only 10 minutes remaining of the game Whitby were unlucky not to equalise.

Player of the match was Lisette Vincent-Jones for her great efforts fighting on the left wing.

This weekend Whitby Ladies face Newcastle University.
