ROCKETS 4 : 4 BLACON YOUTH
A really good start to the league season.
Rockets started really fast and deserved to go into the lead with a great strike by Lewis from the right hand side. We went further ahead after Bailey finished through a crowded area.
In the middle two quarters Blacon improved and got back into the game with a long range effort from their re-start before drawing level. Hugo kept us in the game with some fine saves, the best one from a free kick which was going into the top corner.
Fin put us back ahead again with a shot from the edge of the area before Blacon again equalised from a defensive mix up to make it 3-3.
George put the Rockets ahead again with a nice left foot strike and we were unlucky not to hold on for the win as we looked to break forward and seal the victory. Unfortunately we lost possession and Blacon equalised.
All in all the performance and commitment was excellent and we could definitely see some of the things we worked on in training. We kept our positions much better and used the space. We still have some organisational work to do - such as not (ever, ever, ever!) passing across our goal and trying not to lose possession in dangerous places (safety first!).
Man of the Match was Lewis for his tackling, running and a great goal. He will be Captain next week.
Thanks for the support from the touchline.
