1st match up was against our old rivals Wakefield, Thirsk took the the lead inside 5 mins thru a hit from Fern Watson. Unfortunately could not score anymore and Wakefield equalised midway. Probably a fair result all round.
2nd match up was against Leeds Adel. Thirsk started very brightly and took the lead through a sweetly struck short corner from Millie Smith. Connie Gill quickly added a second goal and Thirsk scored a third after a thru ball from Fern which was converted on the post by Hannah Slater. Thirsk created more chances but could not convert any more.
3rd Match was against last years playoff winners Ben Rhydding. Again Thirsk started off very strongly and took the lead thru a sweet strike from Connie. Thirsk continued to press and got there 2nd goal thru a training ground short corner involving Millie and Connie but scored on the far post by Fern. Olivia Borchard scored the 3rd from close range, a deserved end to a great mornings hockey.
We were so proud of how the girls played as a team for each other and never stopped working.
As a result of only conceding 1 goal we came top of our division
