ROCKETS 2 : 1 TARVIN ATHLETIC
A really solid performance and super result against a good Tarvin side with a few talented lads.
We played 7-side for only the second time and this suited us as we were able to rotate a few positions with both Charlie and William going into midfield for periods.
The game was very even but we got ahead from a set piece when George whipped in a left footed cross which Zac got onto at the back stick. A nice goal against his old club!
In the second period Tarvin moved up a gear with one of their academy lads in particular starting to dominate. We defended really well, got our tackles and blocks in but were undone by a great corner and point blank header which Hugo got hands to and nearly kept out.
Before the final period we talked about getting closer more quickly to their better players and not diving into tackles and this really paid off. We defended brilliantly and going forward we always looked a threat on the break. We scored a deserved goal when Harry broke up the play on the left side before beating a couple of players and firing into the bottom corner. Another great goal.
The low scoreline, bearing in mind we played 45 minutes, showed that this was a high quality encounter with both teams trying to play and do the right thing.
Hugo kept us in the game on a number of occasions, not least an unbelievable save in the final minutes which meant we took the victory. Hugo was named MOTM.
Well done to everyone. We are now unbeaten in two months!
Thanks
Rob
