Aldershot & Farnham Hockey Club’s ladies’ first team crashed to a 5-1 defeat at Woking in the South East Women’s Premier Division on Saturday.

The game burst into life from the first whistle, with Woking immediately testing Shots keeper Taylor Goodrich, who responded with a series of impressive saves.

Despite Woking's high press, the Aldershot defence showed composure, consistently finding ways to break through. However, the home side's persistence paid off when they capitalised on a scramble in the D to open the scoring.

The Shots showed glimpses of their attacking prowess, with Tammy Cherry making a dangerous baseline run that Woking's defence had to work hard to clear.

Drama unfolded when Phoebe Bryant bravely took a misjudged Woking hit to the stomach.

Woking doubled their advantage from a short corner before the half-time whistle.

The second half saw a rejuvenated Aldershot side emerge with renewed determination.

Tasmin Urquhart and Fiona Stewart combined well on the left flank to evade Woking's press, while Hannah Wrench proved a crucial disruptor in the middle, repeatedly breaking up Woking's attacking plays.

The Shots' persistence paid off when a slick move down the left saw Stewart showcase her skills before finding Cherry on the right. Though Woking initially disrupted the play Cherry regained possession at the top of the D and unleashed an early strike that found the back of the net, bringing the score to 2-1.

The momentum continued to be with the Shots, with Bryant finding space to launch forwards into Woking's 25, and Sophie Edwards making an excellent tactical run that drew defenders into the corner before releasing Cherry on the baseline, earning the Shots a short corner.

However, Woking then restored their two-goal cushion. This proved to be a turning point, taking the wind out of Aldershot's sails after a period of dominance.

Woking added two goals in the final ten minutes to run out 5-1 winners.

The home side started on the front foot and could have been three goals up in the first ten minutes.

Liam Brown’s two goals put Petersfield 2-0 up. Havant pulled a goal back, and then equalised from a clinical short corner routine.

Petersfield captain Paul Vickers and his vice-captain Rowan Edwards flew to Auckland, New Zealand, on Sunday to play for Wales over-45s in the Masters World Cup tournament.

Petersfield’s men’s third team beat Hamble 3-1 at Bedales on Saturday.

The first 20 minutes were pretty even, with both sides missing opportunities.

Petersfield took the lead through a precise shot by Richard Thompson following a short corner, but Hamble equalised four minutes later from a short corner.

The home side regained the lead in the second half through Olly’s deflection in front of goal, and Thompson sealed the victory with a precise shot just inside the D to make it 3-1.
