ROCKETS 5 : 4 ELLESMERE PORT ROCKETS
Another great performance from the boys to overcome Ellesmere Port 5-4, a team that in truth looked about 3 years older than ours, with Paul asking their coach if they had brought the right age group!
With a squad of 10 for this game it was hard to give everyone equal game time but all the boys had a least 2 quarters and they all performed like demons.
The opposition may have been bigger but we proved again how effort and will-power can prevail and not once did one of our boys pull out of a challenge.
We totally controlled the first quarter and went ahead with a nice finish from George from a sublime pass from Bailey. They then equalised late on with their only shot of the quarter.
It was all change next quarter with only the ever impressive Charlie staying on and despite loads of attempts on goal we found ourselves 2-1 down but managed to equalise through Harry to end the quarter 2-2, and even Hugo nearly scored late on with a great kick.
In the third quarter Rory's hard work saw him grab two goals to take us to the brink but then they equalised in the final quarter. It was left to Bailey to provide a well deserved winner and we then held on and played sensible football to ensure victory putting everything in their way, with Alex using his different type of tackle to stop one effort which made all the Dads eyes water!
Picking a man of the match was hard as everyone played their part but it went to Finlay for his pure effort and battling.
Our winning run well deservedly continues.....
