Match Report - 09 Feb 2008, WEST HERTS HOCKEY CLUB Mens 4XI beat Potters Bar 1
What an awesome result everyone !!!
Started the match with just 11, along with Hayden who kindly agreed to sub if someone was injured. We were anxious, as Potters Bar had only lost 1 all season and they hammered us 4-0 at their place, but we quickly got down to business.
We attacked with vigour creating many chances and with them creating lots of short corners. Our first goal eventually fell to Graham C on the right hand side who slotted away. Minutes later after several attacks from Potters Bar 1, they broke free and had a 1 on 1 with Hoody unfortunately equalizing. That spurred us on and further short corners gave us goals from Charlie H and Colin W to take us 3-1 into the break. We were confident but not overly so. Into the second half and they piled on the pressure scoring within the first 10 minutes. After 4 short corners in a row the forwards were fearing an equalizer but the defense held their position and marked well with Hoody making some excellent saves. With seven minutes to go, we again piled on the pressure getting another short corner. Colin shot and the ball fell to Andy P who cooly did not miss from 3 yards out.
Great victory 4-2 - we can now think about trying to hit top spot, not just be promoted - only 6 points in it! Bring on WGC next week.
Thanks to Nick Archer for umpiring.
