2nd April 2011 -     Olney Ladies 1  Towcester 2

"One up - one down"

Olney Ladies gave everything in this final match of the season. Only a win or draw would keep them in Division 1 - and Olney were inches away form achieving this. Towcester finished the season top of the league but Olney Ladies certainly made them work hard for their final win of the season. And with this match Towcester go up and Olney go down. Olney were unlucky - as they have been so many times this season. An awesome team performance capped with e fantastic team goal - well done Kazza for putting it in the back of the net! Cath did her usual fantastic goalie impression - despite one of her own players trying to lob her.

Man of the match went jointly to our sweeper Steph and our striker Kazza.

Thanks for the teas Serena. Thanks to those who supported the cause!

Olney know what they have to do next season - bounce back into Division 1 - and so from a season which saw many injuries and illnesses - a season when we struggled to get 11 players some weeks - 2010-11 is complete.

The fat lady is singing.....! See you at summer league!

26th March 2011 -     Olney Ladies 3 Saints 1

"Still one match to go and Olney are hanging on!"

Olney Ladies were strangely quiet today and Wildcatz capitalised on this. Olney unlucky to be 2-0 down at half time - a questionable penalty awarded against them, and a mix up in defence led to Wildcatz's 2.

Second half Olney were better - and equal to Wildcatz - but they just couldn't get the equaliser. At 2-1 Wildcatz got the crucial goal and Olney finished on the wrong side of 3-1.

Goal scored by Steph! Well done Steph. Man of the match - very even this week - Steph and Emma winning on two votes each.

Still all to pay for next week!

19th March 2011 -     Olney Ladies 3 Saints 1

"A vital win to keep the Ladies on track!"

Olney Ladies kept their focus #& their nerve this week to win against bottom of the league Saints.

Goals went to Karen (2), &  Lindsey.

12th March 2011 -     Grammarians  2 Olney 7

"OMG - 7-2"

Olney Ladies turned up to this match focussed on one thing - a win. And a win they fully deserved. Wendy scored the first goal in 53 seconds.... and that set the scene for the first half.

Grammarians had very few chances in the first half which ended 3-0.

Then Olney seemed to switch off for 10 minutes and allow Grammarians back into the match. At 3-2 the match was poised - who would get the next goal - and Olney were THE team to score again and go on to win the game 7-2.

Goals went to Karen (2), Emma (2), Lindsey (2) and Wendy.

Man of the Match - to Ali - who took control of Grammarians potentially lethal centre forward when in defence and pushed forward in attack as the extra man. Well done Ali!

A complete reversal to last week. Well done ladies!-

26th February 2011 -     Rothwell and Desborough 3 Olney 1

"Gutted"

I can't remember quite what happened in this match - we opened the scoring and then we lost the match.... the quiet drink helped later though!

Lindsey - great goal! Cath - some great saves! Shame about the weather, the early start time and the goals that went in! But I'm getting over it!

The return match is next week - same time - same place - let's hope the result is different!

19th February 2011 -     Daventry 3 Olney 1

"Fairy Saves ......."

A grey and cold day to go up North to Daventry. Missing Captain Kazza Carrina took over the captains reins & did a great job of getting 11 players to play this Saturday with it being half term and many away. Olney knew what to expect at Daventry and weren't disappointed. Angie took up her usual position to threaten Cath in the Olney goal and Steff did her utmost to stay with her - even with a bad back. Carrina and Rachel took up their positions at the back and Di moved forward into midfield alongside Serena and Emma. Lindsey and Wendy joined the youngsters M-Amy and Katie at the front.

Olney struggled to get going in the first 10 minutes and some sloppy play saw Daventry awarded a short corner. Cath saved the initial shot but the ball spun off her pads and in slow motion spun across the line - evading the Olney sticks on the line. Galvanised by the goal Olney seemed to wake up and take the match to Daventry and they were rewarded 10 minutes later with Emma streaking down the left and whipping in a cross which M-Amy deflected into the Daventry goal. 1-1 and Olney on top.

the second half saw Davnetry re-arranging their players and their new tactics worked - Ronnie joining Angie up front and putting the Olney defence under more pressure. Olney had as much play as Daventry but could not convert. Daventry had several shots miraculously saved by Cath - ask her about her fairy save - but on two occasions caught the defence out too far up the pitch to score.

As with last week Olney felt they had done enough for a point so were disappointed with the result.

The curry and chips helped though - Thanks Daventry!

 

5th February 2011 -     Towcester  2 Olney 1

"Not a million miles away......."

Olney travelled to top of the table Towcester today - at a very windy Northampton High School - wondering what the match would bring. And it nearly brought an unexpected point ! Olney were unlucky to finish with nothing to show after a gutsy battle against a very physical and vocal Towcester team.

For the first 15 minutes Olney were the team on top. Towcester possibly making the same mistake as Wildcatz and thinking the 'ladies' would be a walk-over. But Towcester were the first to score a quick break after an Olney attack saw the Olney defence stretched and the Towcester Centre Froward muscled through to score. Olney though kept pressing and they were finally rewarded with Katie knocking in a shot from Kazza just before the break. 1-1 at half time and all to play for.

The second half was very similar to the first - Towcester possibly having the upper hand to start with but Olney having periods of possession showing good team work. The Towcester keeper had a great game and frustratingly kept Olney at bay. With 10 minutes to go Towcester again on the break took their chance and made it 2-1. Olney continued to push for the equalizer and came agonisingly close during the last 5 minutes - the keeper making a string of fantastic saves. When the whistle blew and Olney stood for a penalty corner - the hope was that for once we would score on that final whistle - but the luck went Towcester's way and Olney knew they were unlucky to come away with nothing to show for their brave performance.

Once again the performance this week belied Olney's league position.

Good to see Di back - well done Di - a tough game to return to.

Goal scored by Katie .

Thanks to Pete again and the babysitters who allowed Linz to play!

29th January 2011 -  Olney Ladies 3    Wildcatz 1

"Wildcatz tamed......."

Olney were mean and lean in this match. Captain Kazza had asked the team to use the win the week before as a catapult - and Olney exceeded her expectations. Pete turned up to motivate the team and the pre-match talk was all about getting the first goal - and Olney did. A team goal finished off by Kazza and Olney were off. The second goal - a screamer from Emma was truly deserved before half time.

The half time talk was all about keeping the width , keeping the speed and staying organised . And Olney did just that. Wildcatz were more direct in the second half and probably deserved their goal - even though Olney questioned if it had been hit in the circle . But it only spurred Olney on - and they were awarded a penalty after a wildcatz foot on the line. Steph stepped up to convert . Her first goal for Olney!

The performance this week showed what Olney can do - when they put it all together - well done ladies.

Steph - a truly magnificent sweeper this week -  was man of the match.

Goals scored by Karen, Emma and Steph.

Thanks to Pete for the motivation and organisation from the sideline.

Thanks to Jane and Rhiannon for the support.

Thanks to Ali for the teas.

22nd January 2011 -  Saints 0   Olney Ladies 1

Close Encounters of the hockey kind......."

Olney won this bottom of the table game - but sailed close to the wind on several occasions. Uo front Olney could have scored more but were thwarted by  the posts, the keeper and a few feet. Whilst at the other end Saints were also thwarted by our keeper, the posts and a crucial foot. Olneys goal was down to good team work and a great follow up - scored by Kazza. Saints were awarded a flick in the first half but luckily for Olney, and to a certain  payers relief, Saints missed. The score at half time 1 - 0.

Second half was much of the same - Saints using their young legs and their speed - Olney using their heads. As the match went on both sides came close to scoring and it was very finely balanced - both attacks coming within inches of a goal. But in the end it was the umpires who were the most influential  and the match was stopped on several occasions to speak to players , coaches and the increasingly vocal crowd. Olney were glad to hear the final whistle and mark a win in the league.

Cath in goal was man of the match - her many stops crucially giving the ladies the win.

Goal scored by Karen!

17th January 2011 -  Olney Ladies 1  Daventry  7

" Life is like a box of chocolates.....................it really is....but don't eat too many"

2011 didn't start too well for Olney Ladies - too many cobwebs and too much baileys saw the ladies start slowly against a rampant Daventry. They played much better in the second half but the damage had been done and Olney could only enjoy the teas and not the scoreline.

Cath - Thanks for the teas - and lovely cakes.

Di and Jenny - Thanks for umpiring.

Goal scored by Wendy WWWWWOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOO!!!!

11th December 2010 -  Olney Ladies 3  Grammarians 4

"One flew over the cuckoos nest..."  

After nearly a month off due to ice and snow Olney went into their last match of 2010 with only 10 players - losing their eleventh player Di to be the umpire.

Keen to rectify the earlier defeat in the season - the  match finished 4-3 once again in Grammarians favour.  but this time luckily Olney had no injuries to report.

Goals to Katie (2) and Kazza.

13th November 2010 -  Olney Ladies 0  Towcester IIs 8

'One half too many'  

Olney faced top of the table Towcester today. With the season already hit by injury and illness this was not a match for the faint hearted. As the match went on the first aid bag saw as much of the game as in previous matches - what with scuffs, grazes, cuts, ankles, knees and elbows all being bandaged, taped or iced up.

The first half saw the welcome return of Helena to the team. Her first outing this season and didn't she do well at the back! Olney were solid in the first 20 minutes - keeping Towcester at bay and threatening themselves through Georgi and Karen. Cath though was being kept very busy and her agility in the Olney goal frustrated the Towcester attack. When their goal did come in the first half - it was through the middle - direct and forceful, their centre forward shaking off the tackles and the marking to get into the D - to get a show into Cath's Right hand corner.

And 1-0 it stayed until half time. Olney should pat themselves on the back for their first half performance.  It was not an easy half - very physical and fast - and we had to make an enforced substitution with Karen taking a nasty hit to the ankle. Luckily half time was near and Karen managed to return to the fray during the second half - although I don't think she felt 100%.

As the second half wore on Olney were gradually beaten into submission and the goals started going in. Helena and Jane both had to come off injured, forcing Micaela onto the pitch for the first time this season - Welcome back! The Olney team were pushed back into defending as a team but again had a few flurries in front of the Towcester goal - Georgi and Karen forcing the keeper to save. Carrina struggled on with her knee and Karen with her ankle, and Steph continued to give blood for the cause.

The match finished 8-0 - perhaps unfair considering the balance of the first half - but Olney could have done no more. Cath received praise from the opposition after the match - fully deserved!

Let's hope with a week off the injured have time to recover for our next match on the 27th. Jood - I think you need to stock the first aid bag again! What a season!

Thanks to the supporters, Jenny for managing and Carrina for the teas

 

6th November 2010 -  Wilcatz 4 Olney Ladies 1

'The Last (or Right) post'  

Wildcatz arrived early and at full strength.  Kazza made a considered and encouraging team talk, fully aware that the majority of her team were playing in unfamiliar positions or playing with teamates that they were not used to.

Both teams started well, with good quality hockey from both sides although Wildcatz had more of the possession, Olney concentrated and communicated well to thwart any attacks.  We opened the scoring through a well worked goal finished by Katie.

Wildcatz uped the pressure and quickly scored from a short corner on at the right post!  Their second goal was a replica of the first and when Olney conceeded yet another short, Carrina was then seconded to right post duty for yet another short corner. She was sacrificed to the cause to keep the score to 2-1 for half time by blocking the shot with her knee!  Her game was over!

Wilcatz kept up the pressure in the second half and Olney lost shape, and ideas for sometime, and unfortunately conceded two more goals (from short corners, at the right post!)

Olney picked it up for the last ten minutes and showed some spirit and created some chances however it was too little too late.

There is no doubt that we missed Wendy and Georgi at the front and Di and Rachel at the back (I'm sure that Rachel would not have conceded 4 on her post!)

However on a positive note we had 13 players, 5 supporters and two dogs on our side!  The three girls on the front line showed flashes of the talent we know they have.

And spare a second or two after you have paid your silent tribute to those that have laid down their lives for us on November 11th at 11am, for those Olney players who have sacrificed bits of fingers, bones, being able to stand up straight and walk up stairs unaided for the sake of Olney ladies!  I know I will and I will be praying for no more injuries and a return from no mans land for those players who have forgotten us!

MOTM went to Kazza for never giving up (well only for a little while) and Steph for only falling over 7 or 8 times!

Just hope we can get our strength back and support Karen for the remainder of the season, we are losing games that we could easily win.

Come on you Olney Rangers.

 

23rd October 2010 -  Olney Ladies 3 Saints III's 0

'Green Card' 

Olney Ladies were determined to shake off the injuries of last week and get some points on the board this week. Kazza had done a great job getting 13 players on paper with regulars Georgi, Carrina, Rachel  and Di all unavailable - however Jenny ended up umpiring (Thanks Jenny) and Jood2 came in for the unwell Jane at the last minute (Thanks !) so again Olney were nearly down to the bare bones again before the start (not literally but you know what I mean!).

And this week as last week Olney gave blood for the result - Harriet taking the ball unexpectedly on the chin and then having to ransack the first aid kit for some plasters. Luckily this week with 12 players it meant Olney kept 11 on the pitch although by the time Harriet had gone off, the victory was secure.

Olney took their time to score in the first half - and were unlucky that it was only 2-0 at half time. Both goals (I think) down to Kazza. Some great team work involved. Shot after shot reigned in and the Saints' keeper was the only thing between Olney and double figures! The half time talk must have been to keep the work rate up and the goals would come. Cath in goal had been a mere spectator in the first half.

Second half though Saints came out more organised and more determined. Lindsey was given a run about at the back - following her player all over the pitch. Again as in so many matches when the opposition breached our defence Cath was there and it is true to say Cath saved at least two definite goals . She also gave us the laugh of the afternoon when she air kicked at the ball! I think she meant to - but many didn't!

Olney Ladies 3rd goal came after a bizarre booking for an Olney player. Mild mannered Amy was summoned to the umpire after an innocuous incident off the ball. We wondered if she'd sworn at the umpire (!)- but she was warned for pushing or 'shoving' her opposition and green carded. As Amy had put up with this all afternoon she was a little surprised at her warning! But she answered it in the best way - scoring to make it 3-0 - finishing off an excellent sweeping move up the right wing involved Katie and Kazza.

It was good to see and hear  the support from the sideline - Micaela, Becky , Rachel and Di all shouting words of encouragement and Pete's input was a bonus on an afternoon when Olney were the team on top. Lots of positives from the match to take forward to training and to the next match - not least the three points  and the evident great team work and spirit!

 

16th October 2010 - Grammarians 4 Olney Ladies 3

' or A&E 2 Olney 0.....' 

Commentary from Carrina: "

It was a day of carnage, Di had the top of her finger chopped off in an early tackle and had to go to hospital!  We couldn't find the missing piece so she will be forever short of finger. 

That left us with 10! 

Rachel was thwacked on the foot!  Hobbled off, she went to hospital later and has a broken toe and 6 weeks on crutches! 

So a game that we played with 11, then 10 then 9, ended in a 4-3 defeat!  We tried hard, were ahead, played some good stuff in patches, and Georgi scored a wonder goal!

Goals to Karen, Wendy and Georgi - many saves went to Cath!

 9th October 2010 -     Olney Ladies 4 Rothwell and Desborough 5

'Five little pigs went to market.....' 

Commentary from Jane: "Well what a thrilling evening i had!!  i was watching Olney Ladies put in a sterling performance against Rothwell & Desborough, I was viewing with Ange Bartlett, and it was like going back in time with Andy pants umpiring with his woodwork teacher glasses on and good old Bert. Andy greeted all the players with a warning about the new yellow card that he wanted to issue if at a free hit the other team hadn't moved back 5 yards or whatever it is, then if you try and tackle, you can get a yellow card.

 With assistant umpires being Kath in the middle and another couple of R & D players with attitude.   Olney had a very lucky first half, cos everytime R & D shot of goal they missed and every time Olney had a short corner, they scored!!!! (Cath did make some great saves and Rachel made a great save, if only she knew it!). 

By half time Olney were winning 3 - 2 R & D  must have had a good half time tussle, cos they came back more determined to take on Olney players and with some players in different positions.  Wendy was doing a great job in the middle getting in a few stick tackles, but still Kath and a mate got through!!!!   this was annoying Steff who was annoyed with herself for most of the game (Andy had to tell her that if she wanted to stay on pitch, she had better watch it)  Carrina and Rachel worked hard to protect our D by this time we were losing 5 - 3,   Olney went onto to score another in the last 2 - 3 minutes and right near the end we missed our chance to equalise. 

Katie and Ness provided good support up front and Jood & Ali had their work cut out on wings (i was getting worried when i saw them getting knocks, by this time i had pack my stick away). Georgie got a hatrick and Kazza got the other one. final score 5 - 4, what was most surprising that Caff and Steph thought it was 4 - 4, until we told them at tea that we had actually lost, not sure what they were doing when the last goal had gone in!!!

The moral of the story is training has paid off practising the new short corners.

 (this isn't the official match report, just what i saw)."

Thanks to Ness and Mum for the teas!

2nd October 2010 -    Daventry 3 Olney Ladies 0

'Three little pigs' 

Olney travelled to Daventry this week and for a frustrating match against league rivals Daventry. Olney spent the majority of the match camped in their defensive area and when they did manage to break free the forwards created two good chances to score but were unable to convert them into goals.

Di Graham was given to task of marking Daventry’s marks woman, Angi Bartlett, Angi is consistently the highest goal scorer in the league year on year and can score with her back to goal given half an inch. Di kept Angi in her sights throughout the first half but the Daventry striker did have two clear shots on goal which she fired wide on both occasions letting Olney off the hook.

Caff Woods is an ‘awesome goal keeper’ according to Zoe (Daventry) Caff was always positioned in the right place at the right time during the first half she saved with her feet, her hands and her chest pad holding off the Daventry attacks with the help of Steph and Harriet Ewing in defence.

The difficulty for Olney, came in getting the ball away  their own D and as the forwards became more and more restless they ‘came back to help’ which meant that for much of the time the play was concentrated in the Olney half never allowing the defenders a moments relief.

For all the huff and puff though, neither team would break through during the first frustrating half, Olney broke away once and Captain Kazza went clean through on goal but fired agonisingly wide.

A group of local youths took up camp in the corner of Daventry’s half of the pitch and frankly would have been quite safe during the first half, however Jill Leopard saw fit to frighten them away with her especially scary umpiring shorts, the Daventry Massive were a quaking as Jill strode towards them all whistle and waistband.

In the second half Serena Van de Hyde and Wendy Haslam ground out more chances to recycle the ball and Olney did create more attacks. Katie ‘Peng’ Barber and Vanessa Wilson kept to their wings and pounced on every chance to push forward.

Player of the match for Olney; Caff Woods had kept goal brilliantly and kept Olney in with a chance for forty five minutes of the match but Olney could not keep the ball away from Daventry long enough to build confidence or create many chances, it was not for want of trying though. Steph  slipped over five or six times in her eagerness to tackle the opposition, she resembled Bambi on more than one occasion.

In the end though the sustained pressure on Olney goal proved too much and Daventry scored, Olney rallied briefly with Ali Woodward pulling her weight and a muscle in the process, Jude Tetlow was sandwiched between two of the opposition and hyper-extended her shoulder joint, bringing a sore end to her impressive performance and bringing on Jenny Harris as super sub.

Jenny’s entrance to the match saw Daventry, moments later,  scoring a quite brilliant goal ‘I was nowhere near it’ said Jenny, the celebrations from Daventry’s KB left her prone on the ground in agony having, apparently, torn a tendon...’I was nowhere near her’ said Jenny, who was nearest to KB at the time.

KB was carried off, Daventry scored again and we all retired to the working men’s club for beer, beans chips and sausage.

It was great to see Bird on the sideline piling on the encouragement and Vanessa’s Granny and Aunt who had flown in from Texas to watch.

18th Sep 2010 -   Olney Ladies 14 Rushden and Higham 0 (Friendly)

'Let them eat cake' 

Olney enjoyed a goal fest against training ground rivals Rushden this week.

Olney fielded another new player at left back this week,  Carina’s friend making her first appearance and she looked like she is going to be very useful on the pitch with a bit more practise, off the pitch she washed up without being asked so she can definitely come again.

Olney proved far too good for their opponents from the start, they were three goals up after ten minutes, I have no idea who scored or in what order as I was at the back trying to keep Cath awake in goal. Rushden had only ten players at this point and so Jenny Harris offered to switch sides in a bid to even things up but, luckily for Jenny, another Rushden player turned up, unluckily for Rushden Harris went back on up front for Olney and bagged a brace of goals.

Prior to the match Keeper Caff had been seeking advice on how to dive but the only additional skill she needed in this match was perhaps two match sticks to prop open her eye lids, Rushden just did not threaten the Olney gaol once with any menace.

Not sure what the score was at half time might have been 6, 7 or 8 nil ....Georgie Ward nipped off to text Kazza the good news and Carrina Pinney stepped up and advised that the Olney squad to use the second half to practise some training ground moves.

When Olney remained in formation and attacked with pace they were simply unstoppable, some swift passing and good movement off the ball from Ali Woodward, Carrina Pinney and Steph enabled the O’s to create many more goals. Wendy Haslam scored a handful before retiring to the back to allow Di Graham a little foray up front. It was brilliant to welcome back Serena after a nasty injury, she told me she was not too fit before the game, Oh that I was that unfit, she ran and ran and ran and kept the middle of the pitch very much covered throughout.

The two wingers Jood Tetlow and Vanessa Wilson worked very hard throughout and were involved in setting up the majority of the goals. Vanessa and Di Graham, if anything, were trying too hard to get onto the score sheet but it was not to be. Steph looked much more comfortable this week and made the most of the space and time she was allowed to break down Rushden attacks and support the Olney forwards.

With two minutes to play Rushden broke away and were awarded a penalty stroke. Keeper, Caff Woods had to be woken up by her team mates to face the penalty, but in the end she probably could have saved it in her sleep as the hapless Rushden captain pushed the ball lamely straight at Caff’s feet, sort of summed up Rushden’s day.

Rushden were sporting in defeat and kept going until the final whistle put them out of their misery.

Olney learnt that if they pass the ball accurately and with pace and work hard they can score some very good goals, but they will have to play like this with consistency over the season, because they face much tougher opposition in the league this season.

The Olney Goal Cake was cut fourteen ways

Captain Georgi Ward had her cake and ate it with six slices and player of the match to cap off a good game.

Wiley Wendy Halsam grabbed five slices of goal cake leaving two slices for Jenny Harris (who told her family that she scored two and Olney won 2-0, because it sounded more impressive) than Ali Woodward had the last slice but Keeper Caff still took the cherry by keeping another clean sheet.

11th Sep 2010 -   Bedford  0 Olney Ladies 3 (Friendly)

'Mother of a Match' 

Olney stated off the new season with a friendly match against Bedford Wendy Haslam brought along her daughter Martha to play for the O’s and Jood Tetlow’s daughter, Laura, was playing for the opposition.

Olney fielded a fair side welcoming new play Steph who came on after fifteen minutes slotted in nicely in the midfield and stayed on for the rest of the game ending up at right back, being warned by old head Harris ‘not to look too good in defence’. Steph might find herself as a permanent fixture at the back, she showed some great tackling skills and distributed the ball smartly considering it was her first game she made a good impression claiming joint player of the match for Olney as well.

The play switched from end to end in the first half with either side looking dangerous when attacking, Caff Woods had to make a couple of saves at one point the ball hit the post ricocheted onto Caff’s heel and off the back line, this was the closest Bedford came to scoring.

Amy was looking lovely until she was hit on the head and had to sit out the rest of the game. Georgi Ward opened her account for the season, calmly ignoring Wendy Haslam’s claim on the ball she fired home after Captain Kazza set up the chance.  

The other player of the match for Olney was Jenny Harris who played at left back for the entire match making a couple of strong runs carrying the ball up to the oppositions D whilst keeping the Bedford centre forward quiet for the entire match. To cap off her impressive performance Harris was not heard to complain once. Di Graham swept well , at one point deciding to ‘defend’ in the Bedford half, Di looked as formidable as ever, now she is a full time student she comes at half the price too.

Jood Tetlow locked onto her daughter like a missile; Laura had been on the pitch but a minute when she was assaulted from behind by her own mother. Jood continued in this vein for the rest of the match practically barging past other Olney players in order to tackle her off spring. Laura was later to brag of ‘skilling up ‘her Ma ....their journey down to Dorset following the game must have been interesting.

Martha Halsam purchased a new a gum shield in order to play the second half and she looked a chip off the old block .Old Ma Halsam set up her daughter two or three times and Martha looked very comfortable on the wing ( hurry up and grow up please Martha)

The O’s second goal came from Wendy Haslam after Kazza Murdoch charged up the wing and crossed the ball for Wendy to tuck home. With fifteen minutes left on the clock Katie ‘Peng’ Barber pounced at the far post to fire in a third goal and complete a comfortable win for Olney.
