Match Report - 24 Oct 2009, Aldershot and Farnham Hockey Club Mens 2 beat Tadley 1


A tough match this week as Aldershot and Farnham played host to Tadley 1s. Pre season friendlies had not gone well to Tadley who had already fallen to AFHC men's 1st XI.

However they looked the sharper from the start and immediately had Aldershot and Farnham up against the rack and after a series of short corners, Tadley quickly went 1-0 up.

The rest of the half ploughed on similarly with Aldershot and Farnham defending resolutely, particularly Matt Leman, and having the odd opportunity to break. However credits go to Tadley who thoroughly dominated the first half.

After the break, Aldershot looked better but still found that they were defending a lot. However, they could play more aggressively and move the ball around better. This good style of play allowed the home team to break more and sneak in two goals to take the lead. Tom Harris taking both with aplomb.
