M1s kicked off the campaign with a well fought win over OGs. They started with intent, putting us under some early pressure but we kept our shape and were patient. After a rapid counter attack we took the lead after a top finish from Gus into the bottom corner. Not long after, our debutant Ben M opened his account with a superb roofed hit. With a few minutes to go before the break OGs pulled one back with a reverse hit from top D. We went into the break leading 2 - 1, with plenty of positives. Our second half game management was excellent, we defended well, bossed the middle and our forwards caused their defenders several problems. We managed to see the game out, keeping our heads and taking all 3 points.
There are several positives in that performance, lots to look forward to this season with the slick hockey we played at times.
Thank you to Lala and Greg as always for their coaching and support in the dugout.
MOM goes to Ben Malltezi, a fantastic performance on debut with a stunning goal to show for it.
DOD is me after a rather shaky back pass, having to be bailed out by Povey ?
Massive win, lots to build on but it’s clear our gameplay reflects the work done in training.
Next up Woking away. Well done all.
