Match Report - 21 Nov 2009, Aldershot and Farnham Hockey Club Mens 3 beat Fleet and Ewshot
The most local of away matches saw the mighty threes head to the Army astro for the local derby against Fleet and Eweshot, well all except the Dazzler making a quick bid for DOTD by heading to the wrong pitch.
Luckily all arrived before the start and with the customary slick warmup completed it was down to business.
The first half saw AFHC playing some nice hockey and, using the pace on the wings and up front, they were able to pressure an early penalty corner. With XL sidelined due to injury up stepped Scotty who dispatched a rocket into the bottom corner, one up to the shots and on their way.
In fact AFHC proceeded to add another couple in the firt half, a great strike from Angry and another slightly less polished penalty corner to go in at half time 3-0 up. The only slight tarnish was the green card for Scotty after his "shoulder to shoulder" challenge.
The second half saw the customary lapse from AFHC shipping an early goal but a quick response saw Lemmy score the fourth and AFHC never looked back from there, so much so that Scotty decided he needed a 10 minute break and picked up the first yellow of the season for AFHC.
Final score 6-1 to the shots, special mentions to:
Budd, great job as captain making sure the team were all aware not to argue with the umpires, but DOTD for then getting a green for arguing with the umpires.
Richie, for falling over once again, please get some new astros!
Scotty, you know why
Isaac, great debut for the threes
Ally, great second game for the threes
