ROCKETS 3 - 1 ELTON YOUTH
After a good training session and with our whole squad available we produced a brilliant display and scored goals from three great moves.
The boys started really well and coped with the terrible conditions. Bearing in mind the bigger pitch, new size ball and mud we produced some good passing football. A through ball to Rory put us 1-0 up after a composed rounding of the keeper and finish.
Elton always work hard and fight, and in Danny and Reece they have two very good players. They got level with their first real attack after a solid shot took a deflection and flew past Hugo. The first quarter ended 1-1, after we hit the post and crossbar.
The second quarter was a solid display and the boys finished well on top with George in particular causing damage on the left.
The third quarter was a really good display. Bailey and Xander asked to swop positions with Xander moving into the middle. This gave us a good shape and ensured we had high energy going forward and in recovery from Xander.
Rory put us ahead again after his tenacious attitude paid off in the box and he fired to the top corner. Then brilliant wide play and a cross from Xander was finished again by Rory for his hat trick!
In the 4th quarter our desire to hold out for the win was superb. Solid defending and loads of effort from Zac and Austin saw the boys home.
MOTM was between Xander, Fin and Rory. Hat tricks can't go unrewarded and Rory will captain us next weekend.
Well done lads. Terrific performances from every player.
