Match Report - 24 Oct 2009, Aldershot and Farnham Hockey Club Mens 4 lost to Oxted Outlaws
Eeek.
A week to go to Halloween and the 4s, still in search of a bit of green on their results page, conjure up a shocker of a second half.
Against a very good and well drilled opposition we conjured up a peach of a first half. Soaked up a lot of pressure and attacked quickly and decisively on the break. 3-0 up with a Dan S hat-trick inside twenty minutes(the three times we got in their half) augered well.
Unfortunately, they were cute enough to do their homework. Pressure eventually told and we went in at the half 3-2.
Still, it has to be said, with a lot to play for.
Ten minutes into the second half and fitness, direction, passing and positivity left the proverbial building. Or pitch, anyway.
Six unanswered goals (often with Chris facing a two on one keeping dilemma) suggest we have a lot to work on to turn this season around.
Which, given recent first half performances, we are capable of doing.
MOM: Ali
Krug: Ali defensive short corner no.1 runner, block, tackle, charge
DOD: Jason...own goal.
