HAVING beaten Plymouth College earlier in the Plymouth area selection, Kelly girls' firsts went through to the next round which took place at Blundell's.

Kelly's first match was against Exeter School, who had the majority of possession and play in the first half and although Exeter had several attempts on goal the half-time score was 0-0.

The Kelly team played much stronger in the second half and there was some excellent hockey between Kelly's Olivia Eadie and Laura Siggelow, but the game remained scoreless.

Kelly's second match was against Blundells, who took in an early lead. Kelly's Steph Hole and Chantal Whitfield proved solid in defence, while Barnie Goldstone and Annie Court took the brunt of the blows defending but the game went to Blundells 3-0.

Against West Buckland the Kelly girls found themselves a goal down early on, however they responded well with some great play between Laura Sivyer and Freya Semken, which lead to some attempts on goal narrowly missed by Flicky Massy-Birch. As the game progressed Kelly began to dominate. In the last minute Kelly secured a short-corner ending with Laura Sivyer getting a final touch to leave the final score 2-1 to Kelly.

Kelly's last match took place was against South Dartmoor. A series of early attacks from South Dartmoor's forwards put them on the back foot, losing 2-0.
