1st XI Hockey v Marton Hockey Club - Saturday 4 July

The 1st XI Hockey team played Marton Hockey Club in the second round of the Manawatu Premier Reserve Competition on Saturday.

It was evident from the first whistle that this was going to be a close match. The 1st XI played some outstanding passing hockey in the first quarter; however, they were unable to capitalise on the scoreboard.

Marton went one-nil up from a goal scored from a defensive mishap, but PNBHS scored soon after through Hael Pritchard. Marton scored again toward the end of the first quarter.

The second quarter played out in much the same way, with Hael Pritchard scoring his second and Marton scoring another, making it 3 - 2 to Marton at the halftime break.

The 1st XI gained some ascendancy in the third quarter. Blake Rhodes-Robinson found the net to even the scoreline to 3 all.

A fourth-quarter Zac Buinimasi successful penalty corner strike gave PNBHS the winning goal, giving them a 4 - 3 victory.

Jay Ranchhod was resolute on defence for PNBHS with an outstanding performance.

The next match is on Saturday, 11th July, at 12.00 pm against Massey Premier Reserve.
