It's almost over <i>(fall field hockey season)</i>... Here are a few from this past weekend. My daughter's team played a close game in the county rec. league "junior A" division. They pulled out a 3-2 victory, so tonight is the championship game. Probably won't get too much since it will be under lights. However, Sunday was great light and a lot of good action.
PS: Thanks KED, Seamus, and bluehand for the compliments on my last post.

The following shots came from "penalty corners." This is kind of a unique thing to field hockey where if the defense makes a penalty in a certain part of the field, only four of the players and the goalie start back in the goal, and the other team is in a semi-circle facing the goal. On the whistle one girls passes the ball out to her teammates to shoot--while the defense comes storming out to try and break it up. I think it can give some interesting, intense shot opportunities...
