"RedSix" Hit 6 Again

Another good win for the Redsox away to Oxted (having scored six goals in out last three matches I think we might need to rename the team Redsix).
Again the Redsox dominated the game with some good Vets hockey but should have gone into half time more than 3-2 up, the narrow score promoted the skipper to deliver a fairly damning verdict based on the fact that we gave easy possession away too often.
Helped by the experience of Dodds and Mason at the heart of defence (welcome, Dodds, to hockey Vets league 2016/17) plus a strong squad across the field we upped our game in the second half and scored three excellent team goals during a purple patch in the second half to take the game away from a hard working Oxted side.
Steve B, Rage and SAS all played well in midfield to push the game our way and it was so good to see Keevey’s knees holding up as well as slotting a good goal
Good goals from Fitty x2, Steve B x1, Radnedge x2, Keevey x1 and Scottish Steve x1 were more than enough to seal a great win and leave the captain to reckon the quality of Redsox improved to 60% excellent and 40% below par! However, following several beers in the delightful Oxted countryside bar and further beer with Ada, Geoff and Mike Keiller at RHC en route home he has shifted his perception to 80% excellent and only 20% below par.
In truth everyone played well and we again played excellent vets hockey for a deserved win (an incisive half time call saw Mace move to man to man mark their midfield playmaker which made a big difference in the second half).
Delighted to hear Rustlers and Grandmasters also won. Well done Bartie.
I am away in Cornwall next Saturday so Rage will run the side against Wayfarers – good luck all.
Please let Barty know your availability.
