Nepean Nighthawks

The second match against Nepean Nighthawks was a challenging encounter for the girls.  This experienced club side had a strong set of forwards which the Maes-yr-Yrfa defence stood up well to.  Our defence prevented the opposition from scoring on several occasions off penalty corners and fed the ball well to the forward line giving them the opportunity to break through.  Catrin Rees was unlucky not to have scored her second goal of the tour in the final moments of the game.  Although the girls lost the match by 5 goals they played well as a unit and Catrin Nicholas was awarded the ‘Player of the Match’ award.

Roedd yr ail gêm hoci yn erbyn Nepean Nighthawks yn sialens i’r merched.  Roedd gan y clwb profiadol hyn set cryf o flaenwyr, ond fe wnaeth amddiffyn Maes-yr-Yrfa ddygymod yn dda gan atal y gwrthwynebwyr rhag sgorio ar sawl achlysur oddi ar corneli fer.  Fe wnaeth ein amddiffynwyr gyflenwi’r bêl yn effeithiol i’r blaenwyr a bu Catrin Rees yn anlwcus iawn i beidio a chael ei ail gol o’r daith ym munudau olaf y gêm.  Er gwaetha’r ffaith bod y merched wedi colli o 5 gol, chwaraeodd y merched yn dda fel uned a gwobrwywyd Catrin Nicholas gwobr ‘Chwaraewr y Gêm’.
