News / Hockey: Burra break Whalsay’s perfect record
Rosebowl
Zetland 0 v Burra 2
Zetland started the game on the attack, but Burra soon turned the tables and after being awarded a few short corners Stacey Laurenson scored in the 23rd minute.
Zetland kept up the pace in the second half, but shot wide, while Bethany Laurenson put away Burra’s second of the night.
Players of the match were Katyi Jeromson for Burra and Erica Mikolajczak for Zetland.
Juniors 1 v Spurs 3
Juniors took the lead from a Lorrie Robertson ‘cracker’ as both teams set off to a flying start, but it wasn’t long before Spurs hit back with a Sarah Grogan equaliser.
This caught Juniors off balance, allowing Rozanne Georgeson tomake it 2-1 before the half time whistle.
The second half saw plenty of shots at goal, but Spurs gradually gained the upper hand and eventually Gayle Johnson cannoned the ball home for Spurs’ third.
Best players were Megan Nicholson for the Juniors and Gayle Johnson for Spurs.
Whalsay 3 v Burra 3
Burra took an early lead after a good start with a Stacey Laurenson flick, quickly followed by two more from Kristan Robertson that put them three ahead.
Whalsay took their time to find their form, but Deborah Mowat managed to break through and score before half time.
The bonnie islanders worked hard in the second half allowing midfielder Maggie Kay to slot in their second, and Angelina Jamieson making it three from a rebound off a short corner.
Players of the match were Maggie Kay for Whalsay and Kristan Robertson for Burra.
Delting 4 v Juniors 1
Despite Juniors putting in a strong performance and Delting being down to nine players, the north side went ahead after just two minutes thanks to Donna Murray.
