Rockets 6 - 3 Upton
Rockets ran out winners in challenging pitch and weather conditions. Having gone 2-0 up we were pegged back to 2-2 and then 3-3 heading into the final quarters. The boys showed great desire to go and win the game and in the final quarter there was only one team in it with constant pressure on the Upton goal.
Goals came from Finlay, Rory, Lewis (2) and Joshua (2). They included a thunderbolt from Joshua and a goal from Rory which was reminiscent of John Barnes in the Maracana!
A battling display from Bailey and organised defending from Charlie, Alex and William kept us on top for most of the match and limited Upton's shots on target. Will B had a solid performance in goal and his long kicks kept us out of trouble and up the pitch.
Some of the passing from defence and in the final third of the pitch was pleasing to see bearing in mind the muddy pitch.
Three games without defeat is a decent run. Let's keep it going.
Thanks to everyone who helped after the game.
