FINE passing and unwavering determination clinched an excellent result in this hockey friendly.
Thetford Ladies set out their game early with some great passing to make good use of the pitch, leaving few gaps in defence for Watton II to break through.
The first half was intense as the sides weighed each other up - until a clean ball into the D found Leanne Smith to score.

The half line of Charlie Harwood, Sarah Nichol, Tracy Newman and Karen Hodgkinson re-doubled efforts to keep pace on the ball.
