ROCKETS 3 - 7 VICARS CROSS
A frustrating morning for the lads as we started the game where we left off in training over the last few weeks with good positions, passing and moving. This led to us completely dominating the first quarter scoring excellent goals through George, Rory and Zac. Defensively we were solid and William didn't have a save to make...
Its fair to say that after the first quarter Vicars Cross improved their tackling and passing but at the same time we perhaps thought the game was won. Our positional play went wrong, tackles became 'hanging legs' and diving in rather than real 100% tackles and our passing game deteriorated to individual running into Vicars Cross players - so its fair to say the wheels came off!
At 3-3 at half time we were still in the game but our heads had dropped and Vicars Cross sensed this and took advantage very well by moving the ball quickly and very often to their outstanding no.10 who caused us problems.
Going into the final quarter at 3-6 we did well to keep the score line down and were unlucky not to score ourselves. Harry hit a screamer which the Vicars Cross goalie saved brilliantly. Zac did well in goal making a couple of very brave saves.
MOTM was Rory who was our most effective player in terms of effort and desire.
The manner of the loss really highlighted the need for us to pass and move so we will keep working with Robbie from this Friday at training. The fixture was always going to be tough but we proved we can match any team if we stick to what we do in training.
Its vital now that we can get as many of the lads to training as possible please.
