125th Wenlock Olympian Games Results
Posted by on 11 July 2011
Saturday afternoon saw the first ever hockey tournament in the Wenlock Olympian Games, with junior and senior sides competing against other Shropshire clubs, in 15 minute games.
The junior side played Oswestry 1-1, then Shrewsbury 2-2 being undone by defensive errors in both games and having to fight back from going behind.
They then played Whitchurch 3-2 playing some excellent hockey and enjoying a relatively comfortable win.
The two final games were against Bridgnorth 1-2 and Ludlow 0-1, where the team probably played their best hockey pushing both teams to the final whistle, especially against Ludlow (tournamant winners) in the final game when Telford had them pinned in their half in the final minutes going close on several occassions and finishing in a creditable 3rd place.
The senior side, were completely dominant in four of their five games with wins against Market Drayton 3-0, Whitchurch 3-1, Bridgnorth 4-1 and Ludlow 3-1. They drew against Shrewsbury 1-1, who also won four of their five games but pipped them on goal difference by one goal to run out as tournament winners.
