It was off to Oldham for today's match, and after our last outing there, we were all wrapped up - but the sun was shining, and Oldham were on form...!
The game started off with 2 goals in quick succession from the Home side but we finished Q1 only 1 goal down at 3 to Oldham and 2 to ourselves.
The less said about the goals in Q2 the better, as there were many more from the Home team than from the Stockport boys :(
Once again, Thomas did really well with some great saves - picking up an injury to his leg in the process. Lewis will have a bruise to his arm after deflecting a ball from goal with it!
The passing was coming together though, with some good game play around the goal. Toby looked strong in defence with some effective player pushing (don't think that's the correct term!), whilst Cameron F is really getting into the game after only a couple of weeks play, and got stuck into both attacking and defending.
The team said goodbye this week to 2 of our older players - to Defender Charlotte who has gone over to Girls Lacrosse now, and to Captain Jamie off to the U14s.
That said, our numbers are looking good with a batch of new recruits. Jack and Mackenzie got a chance in Q4 to get a feel for the game, and hopefully all our new 'signings' will stay with us for many games to come.
Final score: Oldham 14, Stockport 5
Next Fixture: at home to Heaton Mersey
