Rockets 5 : 6 Ellesmere Port 'A'
A really great effort against a strong Ellesmere Port team playing a league higher than our boys. Ellesmere Port took a 2-0 lead early on but we fought back well to go 2-1, 3-2, 5-3, 6-4 and eventually we nearly levelled getting back to 6-5.
We were unlucky on two occasions with a deflected own goal and a very direct throw-in which just clipped Hugo before going over the line. In fairness to Ellesmere Port they had one outstanding Academy player who was a constant threat.
Highlight of the game for the Rockets was Finlay's 'Gareth Bale' goal when he took the ball from defence, ran down the wing with pace before slotting in the finish.
We used all our available players and probably suffered a bit through too many changes but it was a good exercise for the lads against a decent team.
Well done to everyone.
