Mixed fortunes for Bloxwich’s leading teams
Both of Bloxwich Hockey Club’s first teams lost their unbeaten records in an up-and-down weekend for the club.
The ladies’ firsts were beaten 4-0 by a clinical Worcester side, their first loss of the season after four games.
And after three wins from three the men’s first team went down 2-1 to Redditch, despite Matty Boden’s seventh goal of the season.
It has been a tough start to the season for the ladies’ second team as they lost their fourth consecutive game, this time 5-0 against Lichfield thirds.
A Niki Lockley treble helped the ladies third team record a dominant 8-0 victory against Tamworth.
A Freya Wiggin double, as well as goals from Zanna Wade, Mia Anderson and Loz Horobin completed the victory.
And the fourths also put in a strong performance as they put four past WATS on their way to a 4-1 win.
The men’s second team had Danny Steatham to thank for their 4-3 win at Leek.
His hat-trick, as well as Adam Baldwin’s strike, were enough to earn the side their second win of the season.
The third team made it back-to-back wins after goals from Shabba Butti and Nathan Langley saw them defeat Tamworth 2-1.
And departing fourth-team manager Kev Short had a memorable final game in charge after his side secured a 2-0 win against North Staffs.
