Rockets 0 : 4 Chester Nomads
A score line which in no way reflected the game.
The boys went into the second quarter all square after a really solid and organised first 10 minutes.
In the second quarter, Nomads scored following a very lucky break after our clearance hit their striker in the chest who went on to finish.
In the third quarter we were the better team and we hit the post and the crossbar from a dipping effort from Rory which the Nomads keeper did well to tip onto the bar. We also had shots cleared off the line. Unfortunately in a rare attack down our left a tame shot just crossed the line to put us two down.
Our heads dropped a little in the last two minutes and we conceded a couple of sloppy goals as we pushed forward and left space in midfield.
There are plenty of positives to be taken from the game. Our organisation in the first quarter and our attacking play and intent in the third quarter was encouraging.
MOTM was Bailey who listened to us in training and worked very hard to pressurise Nomads and tried to win the ball for us.
At times we still have two or three players going to the same ball which we need to eradicate and we will keep trying to improve this at training. We will also keep working on our re-starts from goal kicks....as while we didn't concede from this today we sometimes still go down the middle of the pitch which is dangerous.
All the boys put in good shifts and we did try to tackle hard.
Thanks for good support from the touchline and to those who helped with setting up and taking down the goals.
