Empresa Norfolk Women’s Hockey League

Premier Division

Broadland II  2     Reepham  3

Broadland unable to remotely field the same team in any game this season gave as good as they got against a strong Reepham side. Broadland led by a goal from Tamsin Highfield, scored in the last seconds of the first half, but this was cancelled out early in the second period when Reepham finally put one of their many opportunities away.  Broadland however, regained the advantage within minutes when Holley Becker, arriving late in the circle fired high into the net.  Broadland could not hold onto this slender lead as Reepham pulled out all stops to find an equalizer themselves which they did 10 minutes from the end.  With the game on a knife edge it could have gone either way, but Reepham won the game in the last few seconds when a fierce cross after a penalty corner had broken down, was deflected by an attacker on to the foot of a Broadland defender. This final deflection denying Broadland’s star player goal keeper Jen Crawford, any opportunity to make a save.
