ROCKETS 4 : 4 ELLESMERE PORT
A brilliant result against a strong and robust Ellesmere Port team.
In the first quarter we started a little tentatively and Hugo kept us in the match with four or five stunning saves. The Ellesmere Port pressure meant we went in after 10 minutes 0:1 down.
From there on all the lads played brilliantly. They all put in a lot of effort and really tried to pass the ball and find space which is encouraging.
Our fightback came from a nice finish by George after Charlie had won the ball on the right and fired it into the box.
The game in the final 20 minutes was end to end and really enjoyable to watch. Some of the tackling and individual battles were ferocious...although slightly worrying at times. In particular Bailey and Charlie did very well to keep Ellesmere Ports' talented winger under control.
Up front George put us ahead at 3:2 and 4:3 with composed finishes and Bailey scored a screamer from a really nice short corner move. Ellesmere Port responded with a wicked free-kick and some hard shots which there wasn't much we could do about.
At 4:3 up we looked quite in control but a short corner routine led to a thunderbolt goal which was impossible to save.
Everyone played their part in this positive result. At times our play was really fluid and we can see the progress we are making.
Finn was named MOTM this week as he put absolutely everything into the game and didn't stop running and battling away. George scored a hat-trick and will be writing to the FA to question the MOTM award! Bailey and Charlie had their best games for Waverton as well.
Thanks to both sets of parents for huge support in a game that was played in a tremendous spirit by both teams.
