An excellent and competitive match away at Epsom, the team played good passing hockey to deservedly take a 2-1 lead in the first half. Unfortunately, we were somewhat overrun in the second half with Epsom fielding & rotating a squad of 15, most of whom had younger legs than us, against our squad of 12 and we eventually went down 4-2.
Great to see Rowan playing so well in his first outing with Reading, his good control & drag flicks will prove a great asset. He scored with a great short corner flick, our other goal was well taken in open play by Roger following a good move with Chris Wright. Everyone worked their socks off, especially Roger, Rage and Steve B in midfield but in the end, Epsom deserved their victory to top the league.
