HOCKEY: A mixed side from Stourport Ladies seconds and thirds sides began their season with a 7-0 victory against Uttoxeter IS at weekend.

After a close-fought opening 15 minutes, Stourport took the lead through a reverse stick effort from Emma Pollock.

The host settled after this and began to take control, with further efforts from Olivia Laight and Svenja Lee giving them a 3-0 advantage at the break.

The second half was all one way traffic in Stourport’s favour, with Amy Miller, Amy Ryan, and Josie Lewis making it 6-0, before Pollock completed the scoring with her second and Stourport’s seventh.
