Ramsey finished an excellent 2nd place in the Isle of Man county round of the England Hockey U12 In2Hockey club tournament at the NSC. The team took a little while to settle in the first match against Valkyrs, Connor Parfitt made a couple of good saves to keep them in it, with Fred Buxton and Jake Moore defending stubbornly, before captain Will Greenbank worked his way through to score in the last minute for a 1-0. The second match saw a 2-0 victory against a much younger Castletown side with goals from Alexander Kneale and Chris Curtis. Meanwhile on the other pitch the two principal clubs were battling it out with Bacchas impressive 5-0 victors over Vikings. Ramsey held Vikings to 0-0 and were arguably the better passing side, there were chances at both ends and it was the goalkeepers' turn to star for both teams with some fine saves. In the fourth match Ramsey held Bacchas attack at bay until mid-way through the match, though the pressure on the Ramsey circle had been mounting just before the goal. After the goal Ramsey reshaped but in trying to chase the game left gaps at the back and with 10 minutes gone a Bacchas break away made it 2-0 and a further goal was added in the last couple of minutes, still 0-3 was a creditable effort against a very strong side. The team seemed to be getting better as the afternoon went on and it was a delight when they let loose in the final match - Alexander Kneale got us under way with the first, Jake Moore the second, Alexander netted the third, Billy Cain dinked one over the keeper for the fourth and Chris Curtis rounded it off with a fine strike in the last minute to make it 5-0. Just what was needed, as it meant a runners-up position ahead of Vikings on goal difference, and with it a place in the north regional round to be held in in April in Leeds, and happy faces returning home.
