Summary
In a busy and very successful week for Mount House Girls’ hockey teams, they won five matches out of six played, scoring a total of 35 goals and conceded only three.

The Mount House 1st VII comfortably won their match against Kelly by 11 goals to nil. Olivia L top-scored with four goals followed by Milly R (3), Betty S(2), Martha J and Becky M. The 2nd VII beat Kelly 6-0, playing good skilful team hockey. Willow W and Cecilia D used the space on the wings well. Siobhan B opened the scoring and Millie S added four more before Celia B slotted in the sixth.

In their second match of the week, the Mount House 1st VII recovered from going one goal down to a physically much bigger Truro side, with two goals from Becky M securing a well-earned 2-1 win. In the 2nd VII clash, Millie R scored first, but two goals from Truro left Mount House 1-2 down at half-time. The standard improved after the break, but neither side was able to add further to the score.

Both Mount House Under-11 teams scored clear victories over their Plymouth Prep opponents, the A team by 10-0 and the B team by 5-0. In the A team match, Bella S, Millie F and Aggie C distributed the ball well to the wings while Alice L played with great determination to score four goals, with Tess CB and Anneliese W each bagging a hat trick. The B team started well, scoring in the first few minutes, and cruised to a 3-0 half-time lead. When Plymouth attacked, they were easily repulsed by sweeper Charlotte L, and Mount House added two more goals to complete the 5-0 victory.
