Greenbottles vs Dartmoor – Women’s Preliminary Final
Greenbottles women’s and Dartmoor played out in the Preliminary final for the Naracoorte & Districts Hockey Associations season.
Greenbottles started well, work in the centre from Sophie Waters Maddie Derrington and the ever reliable pace of Zoe James had the ball heading in their forward half.
Dartmoor back line Geet White and Tash Moore held their own, holding off attempts on the goals and a fast turnaround into attack with Nancy Crawshaw and Zoe James leg work taking ball up to get Sarah Hamilton first goal of the game.
The attack from Greens continued with Sophie Waters excellent tackles returning to ball to circle, Tillie Derrington pressure giving Greenbottles a short corner. Great work on the top of the circle from Sophie Waters passing to Adele Carruthers Murray for her first goal of the season.
The second half of the game saw both teams have fair share of the ball. Midfield work from Nancy Crawshaw to opportunity to take the ball into the topside of the circle to make a beautiful shot into goals.
Greens back line of Kristy Boord, Emily Eastwood and Kate Schubert worked hard to support Mel Hutchesson (Goalie) as the Dartmoor pushed up for goals. Shannan Derrington was able to break through with support of Rachael Withers taking the ball into attack, a greens free saw a highball come into the circle Sarah Hamilton showed great skill in being the bringing the ball down and a firing it into goals. Final score 4-0

Greenbottles vs Kingston/Lucindale – Men’s Preliminary Final
Kingston/Lucindale started out of the blocks the fastest in this week’s elimination final getting on the score sheet first with a Ben Goodridge goal but Greenbottles were just waiting to pounce.
They scored 4 goals, 2 of which were from one of the oldest in the team Gavin Boord and the other 2 from rising stars Alexander Waters and Cameron Taylor. The Trent Waters magic was evident in his forward passing of the ball which was key to most of the Greenbottles goals.
The Greenbottles defence worked tirelessly to keep many spirited attacks from Kingston/Lucindale at bay. A good goal late from Kenn Jardine showed Kingston/Lucindale never give up. Some of the old fellows from Greenbottles thought the job was done in the last quarter and sat on the bench to rest up for the big game next weekend against Tatiara.
Good luck to all in the Grand Final.
