03.10.10 : Second half comeback earns Servette a point

After a relatively easy win on Saturday over HAC Lugano for the Swiss Cup a more interesting game was scheduled on Sunday, a game between the defending champions and the cupholder. Not surprisingly the current numbers one and two in the league. The more fanatic supporters know that our level of play in the championship has not been convincing so far with two tiny wins over HC Wettingen and Luzerner SC and a draw against Stade Lausanne last week. Bearing in mind that Rotweiss Wettingen had crushed Black Boys HC (1-7) last week in Geneva we knew we had to be at our very best to stand a fair chance against the favourites for this years championship.

02.10.10 : « The sun is shining, the weather is sweet »

To Quote Bob Marley and The Wailers, “The sun is shining, the weather is sweet”, and so it was for SHC’s match against local rivals Black Boys. There were a lot of nerves prior to the game, and these carried into the first ten minutes of the match. Black Boys dominated in terms of possession and their passing was far superior. The breakthrough for Black came after an initial save from a Penalty Corner was not cleared and Fiona Rickli calmly slotted home the rebound. 1-0.

26.09.10 : Servette HC – Stade Lausanne

In the 3rd game of the season, Servette entertained Stade Lausanne in Geneva. The match started with Servette dominant in possession, keeping the ball well and frustrating the Lausanne team. This possession allowed for some good attacking chances, but there was no end result for the Servette team.
The breakthrough finally came after 20 minutes when Gareth Mckeown after some good build up play, calmly lifted the ball over the keeper to give Servette the lead. That is Gareth’s 6th goal of the season.
The rest of the half was a continuation of the normal. Servette keeping the ball and not many chances at either goal.

18.09.10 : Servette HC – Luzerner SC

Après une entame de championnat qu’on ne saurait qualifier de brillante (victoire 6-5 face au promu HC Wettingen après avoir mené 3-0), la Première équipe se devait de réagir face à un adversaire d’un tout autre calibre, en l’occurrence nos « bourreaux » en demi-finale du dernier championnat, Luzerner SC.
Nous devons pour ce match nous passer des services de Patrick qui purge son second match de suspension, et de notre capitaine Laurent, et c’est donc avec plaisir que nous enregistrons le renfort bienvenu de Dave pour stabiliser notre défense qui a connu plusieurs errements lors du premier match.
Organisé en un 4-5-1 résolument compact, le Servette se doit de hausser son niveau de jeu, en retrouvant une rigueur défensive tout en gardant l’efficacité offensive de la semaine précédente.
