Unbeaten weekend for Ports Hockey teams
It was a positive outcome for all five Portadown Ladies hockey teams this weekend, with three wins and two draws building on the strong start across the club this season.
Wins for the 2nd XI, 4th XI and the newly-formed 5th XI represented a fantastic start to the weekend.
Eleven goals scored showed the attacking intent of all the sides and considering the changes throughout the club before the season began, the teams have settled into a successful pattern of play.
Brianna Gregg was named Player of the Match after scoring her first senior goal for the 2s and the youthful success continued with two goals from Connie Lipsett for the 4s.
Not to be outdone, Evie Girvan remained top of the Duke Cup standings after another well-taken goal in the drama-filled 1sts drawn game at Comber Road against Lisnagarvey.
The 3rd XI under the guidance of Ellen Henry and Ben Thompson continued to make progress following promotion last year, earning another hard fought point against Larne.
Next weekend fixtures include Cup matches for the 3s and 4s v Coleraine, and the 2s look forward to challenging themselves against QUB in the Junior Cup.
The 5s play at home in the league to South Antrim and the 1s are away to neighbours Banbridge, hoping to get back to winning ways.
