Captain Matt Ott said the team played "the best hockey I've seen in a Crowborough shirt". The game was played in great spirit, much more competitive than the score line suggests. The men won 5-0, scorers including Ollie Turner-Moore (2), Oscar Wakelin (2) and Alex Seath (1). Player of the match went to the team due to such an incredible performance.

The opposition went on to score 2 more goals to win the game, the Crows unfortunately just missing out. With the game containing questionable goals and terrifyingly cold weather, the ones performed extremely well and were super unlucky to lose 2-1. The goal was scored by the amazing Annie Marr.

Ladies Threes
Ladies Threes played at home against Crawley at 15:00pm. The Crows gave a strong team performance, fighting hard throughout the game to push up the pitch and keep the opposition away from their goal. The team conceded early in the game but did not let it get to them at all. They continued to press and work in tandem effectively to receive many shots on goal. None of them were lucky until the last 2 minutes of the game where Catherine Burns scored a perfect goal after 5 minutes of constantly attacking the opposition's goal. The game ended in a 1-1 draw and player of the match went to Katie Shearn for her outstanding midfield display and Catherine Burns for that awesome goal.

Girls Development
Girls Development played away against Priory at 10:30am. Possibly the hardest game they will play all season, the girls played well together and displayed great communication throughout. They entered half time with a 0-0 draw but the second half unfortunately included conceding 3 goals. Despite this, the final score of 3-0 is one of the best scores the girls have received against Priory and so the team went back home with massive smiles on their face. Well done Girls Development!
