MATCH REPORT - SAT 14 MAY

ROCKETS 2 : 3 GROVES FC

Reality came home as a well organised and physically strong Groves, who are becoming our bogey team, stole a win.

A slightly depleted in numbers Rockets side dominated the first two quarters with makeshift keepers William and Wills hardly touching the ball, but on the offensive we just couldn't get the ball in the net due to a combination of bad luck, good goalkeeping and a tendency to want to overplay at times.

Somehow in the third quarter the opposition managed three shots which all went in so we found ourselves amazingly 0-3 down!

We regrouped for the last quarter and put in a great effort and got 2 back through Zac and George but the equaliser evaded us and Groves even managed two more shots as we gambled a bit which Wills dealt with very well.

In many ways it was a day to forget. William and Alex were the stand out players as they never put a foot wrong, with William getting MOTM for his joint contribution of playing in goal, defence and midfield.

If there was a lesson to be learnt we have to maybe not overplay at times and also particularly in midfield appreciate that we have to defend as well as attack.
