DISS played a hard- fought hockey game which really showed the character of the team.

Broadland then got their noses in front once again with 20 minutes left. Diss' heads didn't drop and Tanya Chenery's persistence paid off as she poked the ball in from close range. With five minutes to go, and the game looking like ending in a draw, Chenery popped up to sweep the ball home for the winner.
The drama didn't stop there, with seconds left Broadland thought they had equalised only to have the goal ruled out for being outside the D.
The player of the match was Gaby Rollingson, also a special mention should go to other new girls - Kirsten Sheedy and Danni Strange - who both fitted in and played well.
