Today saw the latest round of the England Hockey Cup for under 12's. Our young ladies had an immense day beating Newcastle 5-0, Whitley Bay 4-0 and Morpeth 2's 2-0 in the group stage, before winning the semi final against North Shields 2-0 after extra time.

The final, against Morpeth 1's, was a hard fought match with both teams playing excellent hockey and creating chances. Stokesley went 1-0 behind but battled well to finish 1-1. Both teams now go through to the next round, so watch this space for details.

Very well played ladies and thanks for the loyal support on the side lines. An awesome day, as Susan hasn't stopped saying.
