Manx Hockey Association’s latest Team of the Week is made up of the following players after another busy day of action on Saturday.

GOALKEEPER

Richard Speight (Ramsey B) - pulled of a string of quality saves for his side, keeping Ramsey in the game. A great display between the posts.

DEFENCE

Ryan Cadamy (Castletown C) - played in three different positions during his match and was effective in all of them. He spent most of the second half at centre-back and made numerous tackles, clearing the ball with pace and accuracy.

Isla Caine (Harlequins A) - performed brilliantly at the back for the second week in a row and was also heavily involved in attacking play, always offering for the ball and contributing defensively too.

Connor Parfitt (Ramsey A) - worked hard in the middle of the pitch, winning back possession and charging forward with the ball. He covered the whole pitch throughout the game.

MIDFIELD

Emma Hayes (Vikings B) - for a fantastic performance, covering the whole pitch and making great runs along with a positive attitude throughout the match.

Liam Harrison (Valkyrs B) - played some textbook hockey, driving the line and creating multiple goal-scoring opportunities

Oil Christian (Bacchas B) - produced some great attacking play with some nice runs on the base line, creating several good opportunities and also scoring a goal.

Faith Watterson (Castletown A) - worked tirelessly throughout the game, was really strong on the ball in a physical game and kept driving forwards, creating plenty of chances for her side.

Josh Wanklyn (Vikings B) - also drove forward and dragged his team-mates with him, proving instrumental in getting good turnovers to initiate attacks.

ATTACK

Evie Chapple (Harlequins B) - is growing in confidence every game she plays and got into every engagement, refusing to give up.

Sienna Millward (Bacchas B) - her pace up front was described as ‘incredible’ and bagged herself a couple of poacher goals.
