Dumfries Hockey Club's summer league comes to a close

The final round of games in this Dumfries Hockey Club's summer league were played on Wednesday, June 14 – and it went down to the wire.

Dumfries Blues played Dumfries Black in the first game and after a hugely competitive game it ended 0-0 with both teams having multiple chances to score.

This result left the Blue and White teams level on points, with White having a +7 goal difference buffer.

The second game, Dumfries Red v Dumfries White, remained 0-0 at half time but White took the lead early in the third quarter with a goal from debutant Williams-Woods. The red team, however, equalised soon after through Johnston. Entering the final quarter, White thought they had the title sewn up until S McFarlane put Red 2-1 up.

In a strange move, White pulled their keeper off looking for the win and gave away a penalty stroke. Paterson donned the helmet and stick and saved the shot low to his right. Red scored a third, late on, through Pritchard and the game ended 3-1 with the White team taking the award on goal difference.

After the final whistle, White were presented with the summer league trophy, the Beth Anderson-Cook Award.

There were also presentations of chocolates to the most “positive player” in each team – Paula, Emma, Emily and Monaca.

Full results

Week 1: Blue 2 Red 0; White 6 Black 2. Week 2: White 3 Blue 1; Black 4 Red 2. Week 3: White 3 Red 3; Blue 2 Black 0. Week 4: White 5 Black 1; Red 2 Blue 1. Week 5: Black 2 Red 0; White 3 Blue 3. Week 6: Black 0 Blue 0; Red 3 White 1.
