Traveling to face a tough opponent, Ops stepped onto the pitch ready for anything. Fuelled by a fresh spark of energy, they started the match on the front foot. After conceding a penalty corner, the opposition struck first, yet Ops refused to back down. Stellar defensive work from Player of the Match, Andrews, and swift attacking transitions earned Ops a few penalty corners of their own, though the home side held firm. The breakthrough finally arrived when Wallis converted from a penalty corner equalising the score. The second half remained a hard-fought battle, and despite some resilient defending, the opposition managed to break through and retake the lead. Ops kept pressing and launching counterattacks until the final whistle. The final score does not reflect the immense effort and heart the team put in.
