ROCKETS 3 - 4 JETS
A really useful training game against our Jets side showed us a few areas we can improve over the coming months.
Although we lost the game in the final couple of minutes, from being 2-1 up, we shouldn't be disappointed as one year ago we lost 15-1!
On a organisational, commitment and effort level we matched the Jets and after we got back into the game, George scoring from the move of the game, we looked perfectly comfortable in the middle two quarters. We were able to push the Jets back in the second quarter bringing out good saves from Casper.
The Jets passing was more relaxed and as they have played in the higher league for the past two season's they played at a slightly higher tempo and closed more quickly than we are used to which hampered our own football and passing.
BUT, it will do us good to play the Jets or other teams from that league on a regular basis.
The final quarter was great fun and both teams were committed to try and get a result. Jets went ahead before Xander equalised direct from a corner and then with a couple of minutes left Frank was allowed to advance too far towards our area to hit a great winning goal.
Even in the dying moments the Rockets still looked a threat on the break and we nearly equalised but Bailey was stopped by a very good Lewis tackle.
Overall, the result was fair, although a draw would have been nice too!
MOTM for the game, and a contender for Captain this weekend is Hugo who made some good saves and look assured in his distribution and kicking.
