Bedford under 12s entered two teams for the annual Luton tournament on 1st March. The pressure was high as we had won the last 2 years and had lost 6 of our girls who were representing the county JDC on the day. We had two great goalies in Thomas and Carter who gave their all between the sticks both making much needed saves for their respective teams.
The tournament as usual was very well organised with 7 teams allowing us 6 x 12 minutes games so everyone got lots of hockey. Bedford B's played well and battled hard to a couple of draws and wins from their 6 games finishing a very creditable 5th.
Bedford "A's" played 6 games with one 0-0 draw and victories in all the other games scoring 15 goals and conceding none and won the tournament! They played with some nice shape and did themselves proud. It also made a nice change not to get soaked as that is also an annual event! Many thanks to all the kids and parents you were all a credit to the club.
