Tuesday August 4: England 5-3 Canada
Canada scored the 1st goal of the game on a "cracking" shot by
Kristen Taunton
().
Then England tied the game with a penalty stroke in the 15th minute of play
(1-1). England went on to score a free play goal in the 25th minuute (1-2).
Early in the second half (39th min), BJ Steadward was given a yellow card...
England capitalized with a penalty corner goal (39th min, 1-3), but Canada
rallied to score a shorthanded goal by
Chris Hunter (free play, 43rd min,
2-3). Jenny Zinkan-McGrade scored
the equalizer (also ) in the 52nd min (3-3). England ended the stalemate by
scoring two goals one and a half minute apart...
Coach Dru Marshall said after
the game " We are happy with the effort, but this shows we still have some
work ahead of us". Captain
Lauralee Kopeck echoed her sentiments
"We've created the best attact I've seen in years, unfortunately some defensive
errors resulted in goals against us"
New names, new faces and old habits made for something of a drama
at Milton Keynes yesterday as England's Commonwealth Games squad took their
first steps on the road to Kuala Lumpur.
Team England - even hockey is no longer immune to marketing-speak - won
thanks to some fine one-touch stuff up front, but were equally cavalier at the
back, giving the Canadians more encouragement than they deserved.
Mandy Nicholls has taken the new-name business literally and changed hers
to Nicholson. This put the English Hockey Association in a bit of a tizz for
her shirts had to be altered, though thankfully she was persuaded out of going
with Solskjaer. Fortunately, the replica kit business is not big in Milton
Keynes and there are no reports of refunds being demanded by angry fans.
Nicholson had a good game, her first since shattering her right thumb and
Tina Cullen, who fractured her jaw and also missed the World Cup, scored twice,
giving credence to the belief that England might not have been so bad in Utrecht
had she been able to go.
Yesterday, Canada took the lead when England's back division went missing,
but a strange penalty stroke was awarded to Jane Sixsmith and converted by
Denise Marston-Smith and then Cullen finished a neat one-two with Nicholson
to put England in front.
Cullen struck again four minutes after the break and everything was looking
good but with Karen Brown resting - this was her 150th England appearance - the
Canadians scored twice to level at 3-3. However, two goals in a minute from
Sixsmith and Jane Smith restored England's two-goal advantage. The sides meet
again today and Friday.

Monday August 10: Scotland 3-0 Canada
After a relatively slow start, Canada got into the rhythm of the game with
some good chances in the first 15 minutes. Scotland broke through for a penalty
corner in the 24th minute;
Sarah Forbes made a great first
save, but unfortunately cleared back to the left top of the "D" to a Scottish
player, who buried the rebound. Six minutes later, the Canadian defense was
caught napping on a Sue Fraser cross into the "D"... At half time the score
was 2 - 0.
In the second half, the Canadians came out and dominated the play, creating
over 30 opportunities within the defensive 25 for Scotland, but were
unfortunately unable to crack the tough Scottish defense. Scotland broke
through with 10 minutes left in the game and created a penalty stroke,
which was converted. Final score 3 -0. The team has learned many lessons
and the trip was well worth the price!!
Canada fielded a young team as well (not many of the regular starters) and
outplayed the US (i.e. Canada had 97 opportunities below the 25 versus 33 for
the U.S.). Kelly Rezansoff had an excellent run up the middle and put
the ball wide.
Becky Price deftly deked
the U.S. goalie and then put the ball wide... Lots of missed chances like that...
The two Canadian goals were off penalty corners. One was a direct hit by
B.J. Steadward that was
deflected by a U.S. player and the other was a tip by
Deb Cuthbert.
Canada came out flying, pressuring the Americans early causing a corner
in only the second minute of play. Canada took advantage of the pc and
Aoibhinn Grimes scored on the
rebound from the initial shot.
Becky Price blasted one past the
goalie in the 5th minute to put Canada up 2-0.
Canada maintained tremendous pressure but were unable to capitalize
again until the 42nd minute on a tip from a pc by
Deb Cuthbert. They then struck
quickly with another free play goal off the stick of
Becky Price. The americans fought
back and managed to slip one past the Canadian keeper in the 57th minute.
After the game the US coaches spoke very highly of the Canadian efforts
and play. Coach Dru Marshall was
very pleased with the "dynamite effort and exciting goal scoring".

This third game saw a new group of canadian athletes take the field. The team
had an unusually slow start but were able to score in the 21st minute on a
cross from Amy McFarlane to a streaking
Chris Hunter
through the circle who managed to redirect the ball into an open goal. The
Canadians then found some momentum and 6 minutes later were on the board again
with a goal from Aoibhinn Grimes
on a pc rebound.
The second half saw Canada pressing often and
Amy MacFarlane
found the back of the net on a free play shot in the 16th minute. Ten minutes
later McFarlane
once again scored after a scramble in front of the goal mouth. The US then
came back to score on a pc in the 59th minute.
Canada is looking forward to the game tomorrow as it is their last test
match before the Commonwealth Games team is named on July 10th.

Canada completed the 4 game sweep with a hard fought 2-1 victory over the
American squad.
Canada squandered some early chances and struggled a bit with the ball.
Lisa Faust put Canada on the board
first with a rocket to the top corner of the net on a penalty corner rebound
in the 21st minute.
The second half saw Canada dominates the play and they were rewarded with
a penalty stroke when
Amy McFarlane was taken down
hard by the USA goalkeeper in the 49th minute.
Karen McNeill stepped up and put
it past the keeper to increase the lead to 2-0. The USA once again replied with
a short corner goal by Carey Cloyd in the 54th minute to cut the lead to one.
Canada had a couple of great chances to put the ball away late in the match
but failed to convert.
Coach Dru Marshall was only
moderately pleased with the team's performance as they made a number of
unforced errors but overall was satisfied with the results in the four friendlies
and is encouraged by what she has seen from her squad.
