Playing any Cheadle teams, you know that you are in for a good game, and this merged team with Sheffield brought plenty of numbers and an eager anticipation for the game, and it was a tough encounter this morning with no inch spared or given all over the pitch.
We started brightly, face offs were competitive with no team overly dominating, but we did get possession and we commanded the early passages of play racing to a 3-0 lead, before allowing Cheadle an opportunity to break and score one at the other end, finishing the quarter 3-1 up.
From here on in, it was very tight and physical and lots of battling all over (from both teams), but not a lot of difference in the scoreline or the play. Straight from the start Cheadle pulled one back, giving them a 1 goal deficit and belief that they can pull this back. An equal quarter at 2-2. The coaches had to ask the referees to ensure that they were using the flags to protect the players of both from some over zealous slashes and cross checks.
Q3 was a good quarter for the boys in blue, extending their lead with a further 3 goals to 1. Q4 was a 0-1 quarter to Cheadle.
Lots of positives, strong performances for all the boys. Positive communication from our keeper (on the whole), and improvements throughout.
8 goals today, 5 assisted ( 3 from Cameron, Rhys and Hugo). 2 goals from Cameron, Rhys and Hugo and one-a-piece from Dan and Joel, made it a good mornings work.
