Reality came home as a well organised and physically strong Groves, who are becoming our bogey team, stole a win.
A slightly depleted in numbers Rockets side dominated the
first two quarters with makeshift keepers William and Wills hardly touching the
ball, but on the offensive we just couldn't get the ball in the net due to a
combination of bad luck, good goalkeeping and a tendency to want to overplay at
times.
Somehow in the third quarter the opposition managed three
shots which all went in so we found ourselves amazingly 0-3 down!
We regrouped for the last quarter and put in a great
effort and got 2 back through Zac and George but the equaliser evaded us and
Groves even managed two more shots as we gambled a bit which Wills dealt with
very well.
In many ways it was a day to forget. William and Alex were
the stand out players as they never put a foot wrong, with William getting MOTM
for his joint contribution of playing in goal, defence and midfield.
If there was a lesson to be learnt we have to maybe not
overplay at times and also particularly in midfield appreciate that we have to
defend as well as attack.
