MATCH REPORT - SAT 8 OCTOBER

BEES 1 - 6 ELLESMERE PORT

A tough morning for the boys with another four lads getting some game time against a robust and quick Ellesmere Port side.

We started really well competing and passing the ball nicely and went 1-0 up with Ben's fourth of the season. We looked quite comfortable, dangerous on the break and we finished the quarter ahead.

In the second quarter Ellesmere Port were more determined than us and broke up the play and ran quickly at us. Understandably some of the new lads took a little while to adjust to the pace and we went 3-1 down pretty quickly.

We made a couple of unforced errors which we can soon resolve at training......playing the ball across our own area isn't in the coaching manual!!

However, our effort levels and enthusiasm were high and the experience will do us good for weeks ahead.

In the third quarter we managed to get more of grip on the game and although we conceded one goal to put us 4-1 down, we did create chances and the match was evenly balanced.

In the final quarter we lost our way a little as the boys tired and lost a bit of heart. Overall the boys tried their best and got stuck in. Ellesmere scored a couple more to put a bit of gloss on their result.

Well done to all the boys. Good effort but a few things to work on...
