MATCH REPORT - SAT 14 OCTOBER

ROCKETS 8 - 1 NEWTON

A fine performance against a Newton team who try to play football but perhaps physically weren't strong enough to contain a Rockets team which is full of confidence.

The score-line came courtesy of Harry (3), Rory (2), Bailey (1), George (1) and Austin (1). The Newton goalkeeper was very good, brave and quick to clear with punches or run off his line and he kept the score from double figures.

In each half the boys moved the ball very well from back to front and we were able to get our attackers onto the ball time after time. The shape of the team was quite pleasing as Paul and Rob only had to remind players on a few occasions about which side of the pitch they were playing and to hold space rather than follow the ball across.

Defensively we had only one lapse of concentration but overall we snuffed out any Newton attack and played the ball forward brilliantly.

We will have much harder challenges ahead against Princess Villa 'A' next Saturday and a new and improved Vicars Cross 'A' outfit.

MOTM went to Harry for a hat-trick and some great wing play.

Well done boys. 4 wins and 1 draw is a good start to the season.
