Kerryn 

Speed: 60

Tackle: 23

Pass: 10

Skillz: 20

Sass: 2

Top Trumps Rating: 52

 

Secret Skill: the lunge tackle. You are never safe on the pitch when Kerryn is on. The lunge will get you. Kerryn’s secret to success is her dribbling at speed. This captain drives with the ball into the D like the defenders don't exist.

 

Jenny

Speed: 55

Tackle: 90

Pass: 30

Skillz: 15

Sass: 5 (that hand does come up quite quickly)

Top Trumps Rating: 103

 

Secret Skill: 15 metre sprints. All day long. Jenny as per usual (of course it is) was super slick in defense, holding strong despite some fiery attacking from Sudbury. Kept her cool despite the last 5 minutes.

 

Izzy MP

Speed: 20

Tackle: 14

Pass: 20

Skillz: 25

Sass: 15

Top Trumps Rating: 126

 

Secret Skill: diving. scoring whilst on the floor. Still unsure what happened. Did you fall or were you pushed… Izzy scored the winning goal for us on Saturday. She kept calm under pressure and wins herself a reasonable Top Trumps Rating for the job.

 

Alice

Speed: 35

Tackle: 35

Pass: 25

Skillz: 30

Sass: 15 **insert the shirt shaking at Bury. My personal fave.

Top Trumps Rating: 142

 

Secret Skill: forehand volley. this tennis star loves to pick balls sent in at any height. Alice has skillz for dayz which she shows off on Saturday. She also dipped her toe into screen where she held and distributed it well.

 

KP

Speed: 30 (unless I really have to)

Tackle: 45 

Pass: 40

Skillz: 4

Sass: 100

Top Trumps Rating: 202

Have you worked out the Top Trumps Rating yet? 

 

Secret Skill: going rogue. KP loves to go for a cheeky out of position run when 1-0 down to surprise the Sudbury defence with her unlikely positioning 

 

Loopy

Speed (to ground): 100

Saves: 100

Sass: 100 (has been known to throw her stick into an empty goal, only to find KPs bottom in there too)

Top Trumps Rating: 314

 

Secret Skill: it's no secret, Ninja like reactions. Loopy had a fair amount to do on Saturday, not forgetting the 6 short corners in a row she had to defend

 

Maegan

Speed: 40

Tackles: 55

Pass: 15

Skillz: 16 (broke the defender threshold of 15 just for you).

Top Trumps Rating: 7

 

Secret skill: 3D skills. Maegan showed her not so secret skills off on Saturday popping and bopping that ball out of the attackers reach.

 

Liv  

Speed: 70

Tackles: 15

Pass: 8

Skillz: 20

Top Trumps Rating: 8

 

Secret skill: perfect skin. Is she 12? Are you an adult?! Can you legally drink. Drivers license says yes. Face says no. Liv was using that speed to full affect on Saturday driving with the ball.

 

Anna 

Speed: 30

Tackle: 10000 MOM for smashing up those tackles. Brick wall. 

Pass: 15

Skillz: 15 (no defender will ever get more than 15)

Sass: 0 legit never seen a single bit of Sass out this woman. An icon.

Top Trumps Rating: 58

 

Secret Skill: the worm. I may have made this up (much like my suggestion Anna had abnormally small feet) but isn't that how we have managed to eternalise Anna's Halloween pic? She lost her front teeth doing the worm. Anna earnt MOM for her well timed crunch tackles.

 

Emily 

Speed: 50

Tackle: 12

Pass: 15

Skillz: 30

Top Trumps Rating: 10

 

Secret skill: age. Whilst it is no secret that age catches up with us all. Emily has the legs, fitness and stamina true to her age, but the hockey brain of someone much much older. What a combo. 

 

Tildy

Speed: 35

Tackle: 60

Pass: 20

Skillz: 10

Sass: 10, sweetie

Top Trumps Rating: 34

 

Secret skill: disguised pass. Where the flippy Nora is it going? Nobody knows. Except Tildy. Maybe. Tildy was having a great game until she had to take the knee and bow out due to her injury.

 

Katie 

Speed: 30

Tackle: 90

Pass: 40

Skillz: 20

Sass: 5 (haven't seen much yet, but can tell it's coming!!! Serious Sass potential.. takes one to know one)

Top Trumps Rating: 5

 

Secret Skill: short corners. This defender wants to be nowhere near the defensive short corner (direct quote). Found herself defending circa 10 at the weekend. Self appointed kit lady.

 

Tess

Speed: 30

Tackle: 80

Pass: 40

Skillz: 40

Sass: 2 (no one can understand her anyway)

Top Trumps Rating: 14

 

Secret Skill: header. She's a hard nut. Will take on heading the ball to ensure a goal is not scored. Legend. Played 10 seconds. Worth it though.

 

Sophie 

Speed: 35

Tackle: 15

Pass: 20

Skillz: 35

Sass: 0

Top Trumps Rating: 6

 

Secret skill: composure. With no sass comes calm, collective, measured hockey. This sums up Sophie. Cool as a cucumber.

 

Amelia  

Speed: 50

Tackle: 15

Pass: 25

Skillz: 40

Sass: 20 (more coming, I can feel it)

Top Trumps Rating: 5

 

Secret Skill: leading. Whilst her ability to get in front ultimately was Kerryn's demise on Saturday. We need it. This girl is the definition of give and GO.
