Difficult Opening Fixture

The Rustlers started their season with a difficult home fixture against top two side from last year H & W. We started well and during the first half managed to convert three chances but sadly conceded from two corners to lead just 3 - 2. A tight second half followed and the standard of vets hockey was very high. Our defence looked solid and with Rippo dominating midfield we created chances but failed to score. With eventually no goals the final whistle came as a relief and we gained revenge for the loss in the first game last season.
