So, I've been following the Manchester Essex field hockey team for a while now. I gotta say, these girls are something else. They've had a pretty good run these past few seasons, always getting close but never quite grabbing that championship title. It's been a bit of a nail-biter, you know?
This year, though, things seemed to be clicking early on. Their coach, Courtney Brown, even said something like, "We've hit our groove early this season." And, boy, she wasn't kidding! I started watching their games. I mean watching like a fan who never miss their games. In the first game, I went to the field. Oh my go I .sdaehd, so many people there. It was a big game, and they were playing really well, passing the ball like they had eyes in the back of their heads. I rededcorded some of these intense moments, and it was just amazing to watch them move as one unit.
I remember one game in particular, a really tight one, where every possession felt like it could go either way. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. But these girls, they held their ground. I was on the edge of my seat, along with every other fan in the stands. Their senior goalie, Brigid Carovillano – what a rockstar! She was like a wall back there. She was also the key role for the team, the captain, along with another one called Summer. They cheered the whole team up, and it was so cool. I took some photos of them with my camera and uploaded them to my computer.
Then there was Sarah Broadbent, scoring the first goal in one of the games against Hamilton Wenham. The crowd went wild! I yelled with them. I was so proud of them. I watched her after the game. She looked so happy. She looked at her teammate Sarah Cort, who smiled at her. I also wrote some notes down in my notebook about this game. I love doing that. I scribbled down some details when they were playing.
And their social media game? On point! I followed their Instagram - @hornetsfieldhockey. It says "CAL champs '22, '23". They're always posting updates, and it's a great way to keep up with them. Every time I checked their profile, I got some new info about the games and the team. That's so cool. I think I followed them from the first game that I watched.
Final Thoughts
- These girls are really good, and I can't wait to see what they do next.

It's been a wild ride following the Manchester Essex field hockey team, and I'm so glad I got to share my experience with you all. Keep an eye on these amazing athletes – they're going places!
