Yateley 1-2 Sonning

It was a lovely hot day and probably better weather to go to the beach rather than the hockey pitch!

Yateley played Sonning in their last preseason friendly and we’re looking for a good performance to go into the season.

But it was a bad start from Yateley as Sonning struck first. After a few words from captain Darren Collins and vice captain Doug Joyce, Yateley came out stronger in the second quarter. This resulted in Yateley scoring a well worked short corner routine known as Doris, with James ‘Papa’ Sealey getting the final touch.

Every person in red and Yateley supporters were happy apart from young Jacob Sealey who knew he had to deal with his dad scoring rather than him.

As the game went on the numbers started to show as Yateley only had 12 and Sonning scored a late goal to take the win. Good performance from Yateley but upsetting result in the end.

Thank you to Rachel Powell for umpiring and to all the spectators for coming down and supporting us.
