RICHARD Huish College Women's Hockey team are all set for a National Final in May after they were triumphant in the semi-finals of the competition.

The team recently played in the National Cup semi-final against Hill Road Sixth Form College, Cambridge and won impressively 4-3.

Following a slow start, Huish were two goals down against an impressive Hill Road team, who had some skilful forwards putting Huish under early pressure.

However, the Huish team showed great resilience and determination and earned themselves a penalty flick from an attacking short corner, Alice Partridge stepped up to take the shot and successfully scored.

Pressure and attacking influence on the game from Huish grew leading to a follow up goal from Abby Murray scoring a great first-time finish.

Huish started the 2nd half strong, scoring first with a second goal from Alice in the match.

The team were starting to play more confidently, and everyone kept their intensity very high in defence.

After sustained pressure and dynamic dribbling from Lauren Morrish down the right side, Huish secured their fourth goal with Alice assisting with a shot through the goalkeeper's legs.

With the time beginning to run out, Hills Road scored a quick counter-attack goal from the Huish attacking short corner with two minutes to go.

They tried scoring an equaliser in the last two minutes, but Huish remained resilient and secured their win with the buzzer ending the hotly contested game at 4-3.

Sports coach Ieuan Davies said after the performance: “All the girls are incredibly happy to be going to the National Final on 4th May in Walsall.

"They all represented the College fantastically from start to finish.”
