That’s how you start the season! Our first match as team and a 6:1 victory.
After the match Lee & I agreed that the standard of play was so high that to pick a Man Of the Match would be impossible.
Q1 ended up with us going 2 nil ahead, which was the plan from the start. This set the tone for the rest of the match.
Up front Rohan Sheldon and Paul Furnival worked well together, with Ben Furnival keeping the game under control in the center up front. Pace on the. Wings was supplied by Speedy Stu McBain on the right and Rubens Leonard and Henry Croxon on the left. Chris Babb and John Dowie ruled the midfield with a firm hand. Ade Sylvester provided a menacing presence across most of pitch. Henry Asquith had a very strong game at the right back showing real tenacity and superb stick skills. Ollie Dowie was dependable and solid at the back, taking quick, incisive decisions. Dave Herbert was very strong on the left at the back and in the dying minutes to two heavy body shots as Stone piled the pressure on trying for a late goal. That’s what I call commitment! Alex Cooper in goal was outstanding making some great saves to keep us ahead. He controlled the defence with clear and decisive instructions which was a great help. Thanks Alex!
The goals came Lee , Rohan, Ben, Rohan again, then Stuart and Chris.
