CHESTER NOMADS 3 - 4 ROCKETS
An awesome performance from the boys against a decent Nomads outfit, which takes us to two wins from two and is a fine start to the season.
After going 1-0 down in an evenly matched opening the boys got back in it after Xander broke down the right, skipped two tackles and crossed to Rory who volleyed home for 1-1.
The 2nd quarter ended 3-3 after the boys went 3-1 up through another Rory goal and an unfortunate own goal. We then conceded two quick goals, first from a mix up at the back and then Nomads capitalising from us not clearing our lines.
Going into the last half of the match both teams really went for it and Hugo pulled off some fine saves to keep us level. Rory got us the winner after Bailey broke up the play and crossed for Rory to scramble it home.
Everyone played their part in a victory that was well deserved. We finished the match on top and going into the 3rd minute of injury time (!!!) we didn't panic.
MOTM was a tough call - everyone was brilliant. Rory with another hat-trick, Hugo with some amazing saves and William a stalwart in defence were all in the frame. The award though went to Xander who epitomized what we talked about in terms of positional play, desire to get up and down and 100% effort.
Great result boys. This was one of our best performances, against a very good side.
