Ipswich
v Canterbury
14.00
Tuddenham Road
There
is one word that describes Ipswich’s attitude to their next Slazenger
EHL Premier League game, at home against Canterbury, on Saturday and that
is determined.
The
squad are determined to learn from last weeks defeat, determined to
perform better and determined to get their pride back.
“Last
week’s match against Slough is certainly one we wish to forget about in
a hurry” Said Ipswich Captain Vic Sandall “but I know the team will
want to regain some pride in their own performances this weekend. Putting
it quite simply – we didn’t compete last weekend and this is not what
is expected at our club. This game gives us a chance to lay those demons
to rest and prove we can play better”
It
will not be an easy task though for the team as they face a Canterbury
side that beat Chelmsford 7-0 last weekend and have yet to lose a game.
The Kent side started off slowly in the league recording four
straight draws but they seem to have found their goal scoring touch in
recent weeks and Ipswich will need to be alert to the dangers of
ex-Ipswich forwards Cathy Gilliat-Smith and Jenny Hall.
Ipswich
keeper Mariëtte Rix, who was injured in the warm up last weekend, seems
to have made a full recovery and she will be looking to get one over on
her South African team mate Jenny Wilson, who plays in Canterbury’s
midfield.
Ipswich
will be without Lizzy Aldous who still has a knee injury but have called 2nd
Team Captain Anni Broster into the squad as cover.
With
only three games left before the Christmas break and with the last two of
those against the bottom teams Ipswich know how crucial the coming weeks
will be.
