Good Flowing Hockey

Today we comprehensively beat Bromley & Beckenham 5-2 (x2 Chris Wright, x2 Fitty, x1 Micky) with excellent Redsox debuts from South African Steve, Hamish and Mike S (we loved his younger legs!). Damon added some class when he joined us towards the end of the first half and Phil Crosby bolstered our defence and clearly needs to play as often as he can.
However, everyone one played well and Trevor ran the bench with aplomb to ensure we all got good pitch time. Thanks to Robbo for joining us directly from the Indian Gym Grandmasters match and to Mike Gray for blowing so well. A few green cards were handed out by the B&B umpire so a good lesson for the Redsox to curb some of their more competitive instincts as the season progresses. On the social front, most of the Redsox stayed on to watch an impressive Holcombe ladies side overrun Reading and consequently drank most of the extra match kitty.
Thanks to all who played last week and today, it is encouraging to see the Redsox playing good, flowing hockey so early in the season and when we play teams of our own age we are a very powerful side, our challenge will be to hold on against the younger and more mobile teams in the league.
