MATCH REPORT - FRI 8 MAY

Rockets 9 - 1 Dev Squad

A really useful and enjoyable friendly against a Waverton Development team who have really come on under Robbie's training.

The Rockets started very fast with goals coming from across the team. In the second quarter we swapped players about with Hugo, Harry, Charlie, Will B and William all taking turns playing for the Dev team which evened up the play with the Dev team winning the third quarter 1-0 with a great goal from Theo.

Rockets improved in the final quarter to score a couple more goals and keep a clean sheet.

Thanks to everyone who played in atrocious conditions!

The following day the Dev team boys went on to beat Upton 8-3 !!

MATCH REPORT - SAT 2 MAY

Rockets 5 : 6 Ellesmere Port 'A'

A really great effort against a strong Ellesmere Port team playing a league higher than our boys. Ellesmere Port took a 2-0 lead early on but we fought back well to go 2-1, 3-2, 5-3, 6-4 and eventually we nearly levelled getting back to 6-5.

We were unlucky on two occasions with a deflected own goal and a very direct throw-in which just clipped Hugo before going over the line. In fairness to Ellesmere Port they had one outstanding Academy player who was a constant threat.

Highlight of the game for the Rockets was Finlay's 'Gareth Bale' goal when he took the ball from defence, ran down the wing with pace before slotting in the finish.

We used all our available players and probably suffered a bit through too many changes but it was a good exercise for the lads against a decent team.

Well done to everyone.
