ROCKETS 1 - 4 ELTON YOUTH
The spirit, enthusiasm and desire shown by most of the lads was really good this week. Again, the score line looks very harsh in what was a very even game for long periods.
Elton came into the game having won all their games so far this season. The first quarter ended 0-0 and we looked very organised and were competitive in all positions. In the second quarter we conceded to a couple of good goals from one of Elton's better players who was allowed to run at us without us tackling him. We managed to score from a great corner kick which Elton couldn't deal with so went in after the second quarter at 1-2.
The final quarters were pretty even. We hit the post and had chances cleared off the line before Elton again scored through one of their two academy lads. Hugo was also in fine form with some good saves and excellent distribution and kicking.
The Elton coaches felt we were one of the best organised teams they had played and also praised our set pieces from Harry and George which they struggled to deal with. With a few more shots on target from the good positions we got into then maybe we could have taken more from the game.
William was named MOTM for his attitude, tough tackling and passing from the back.
All in all this was a decent performance against a strong and competitive team. If we continue to play like this, and how we did against Blacon, then results will start to come to us.
