ELLESMERE PORT RANGERS 7 - 3 BEES
The boys played really well in spells and our first quarter display (2-2) goes down as probably our best 10 minutes so far.
After conceding an early goal the boys started to knock the ball about brilliantly and following a pass and wing play from Emlyn the ball was squared for Henry to get us level. Emlyn then put us ahead before EP equalised right at the end of the quarter.
After lots of changes over the next 2 quarters we lost our way a little at times. We had asked the boys to really pressure the EP back line but the opposite occurred as EP upped their tackling and we got caught bogged down in dangerous positions. Some of our tackling was more 'hanging out a leg' rather then getting stuck in which is frustrating. We also need to learn in 50/50 challenges to get to the ball rather than stand and wait for it!
The boys battled back into the match at 3-5 from Ben but we got caught on the break again to give EP a flattering score-line.
The boys were always in the game which was pleasing and we had plenty of the ball and lots of good chances. We can take positives from the first quarter as our passing was superb. If we can cut-out the silly mistakes at the back and not get caught on the ball then we can match these bigger sides as our attacking threat and firepower will give us goals.
MOTM went to Henry.
Well done boys, a good effort against a decent team.
