Report:
Well done guys!! At last a performance to be proud of!! Again we started well and this week managed to keep up our level of performance. We scored 1st, another well worked short corner routine, dispatched by 'Rehab' Willoughby!! They then equalised shortly after, but we had the bit between our teeth and didn't let our heads drop. We came back strongly at them and scored again. We were awarded another short corner which was duly converted. Old B's afforded Willis (again!!) the opportunity to slot it home into an empty net. Old B's responded and scored again. With true 'Bouncebackability' the team wouldn't roll over and die!! A well worked play ended with 'Wincey' Willis shooting from the top of the D. The shot was well saved but Mark 'the Hustler' Pottage was quickest to react and slotted the winner home!! We didn't go into our shell, but instead kept playing to the end!

A great performance which we shouldn't get carried away with but instead build on as we have another tough game next week against BBHC!! Well done guys- more to come hopefully!!

A quick note to say well done to Ben who made some great saves- one off the line!!
