Report

3 points away from home is always a great result. We were certainly not at our best although in patches we played some really good stuff. Our first 10 minutes reflected the fact that we had not played for 2 weeks and we conceded an early goal after losing possession in midfield. This set up the pattern for the game as Holcombe came into the game largely due to mistakes made by us.

However when we played our quick transfer hockey we created chances at will. We equalised through a broken down corner routine where Jedi mopped up a deflection to go to double figures in goals for the season. This was followed by Old man Coach sustaining a run for over 30 yards and finishing in a slot kindly left by the defence, he received cardiac arrest treatment shortly after.

Another quick break led to good interplay between Coach, Skipper and Andy.T. No surprises in the end result, another deflected goal for Andy, talk about a trademark finish.

We went into the half 3-1 up and should have kicked on from here. However we were poorer in the 2nd half and Hocombe earnt a a deserved PF which they dispatched well. We created enough chances to kill off the same but Coach's stick radar was off and the oppo defended well. However our defence has stood firm all season and we safely saw out the game.
