This Saturday at St. George's College, Old Georgians Ladies’ 1XI face Sevenoaks 2s in their first-ever National League meeting, as part of an exciting Super Saturday doubleheader. The match kicks off at 16:00, leading into the Men’s 1XI clash with Surbiton later in the evening.
Old Georgians, currently fifth in the Women’s Conference East, will be looking to secure a vital three points and continue their push up the table. Their journey so far has showcased their resilience, with two wins and three draws from seven matches, and they’ll be eager to convert those draws into victories. Meanwhile, Sevenoaks 2s, who sit in eighth place with six points, enter this match hungry to prove their worth in the league after earning promotion last season by clinching the South East Premier Division title.
The two sides last met in the 2022/23 season, with each team taking one win apiece. Sevenoaks edged a narrow 1-0 victory at St. George’s College, but Old Georgians responded with a commanding 3-0 victory at Holly Bush Lane later that season. While their head-to-head record stands level, this match marks a new chapter as the teams meet at the National League level for the very first time.
For Old Georgians, the stakes are high. A win would not only boost their standing but also build momentum for the second half of the season. With home advantage and the support of an enthusiastic crowd, the team will be keen to make a strong statement. Sevenoaks, however, will arrive with confidence from their promotion campaign and a determination to upset the hosts.
As the Ladies’ 1XI prepare to kick off Super Saturday, fans can expect a fiercely contested game, setting the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of hockey at St. George’s College. Will Old Georgians rise to the occasion and seize their opportunity, or can Sevenoaks make their mark in their National League debut against their Surrey rivals? The stage is set for an enthralling encounter.
