Three games without a win and a tough fixture awaited us against Gravesham & Wellcome, who sit top of the table and undefeated this season.
Following on from last weeks post match analysis and a recap of that pre match today, you could see Ville were up for the fight.
Ville came flying out of the blocks and were playing some sublime hockey, on the odd occasion the opposition did get the ball a Ville player was on him like a flash forcing them into errors.
10 minutes in and we took the lead, a well worked move saw Hooper on the baseline fizz it across to Perks who neatly finished 1st time into the far corner.
Wasn't long before we scored again, Hoops with another little mazy run managed to reverse flick it past the keeper to make it 2-0.
A third came soon after too, this time Hoops found Jack at the far post who slotted home.
We weren't done yet. Johnathan made it 4 nil at the break.
A phenomenal 1st half against the league leaders who had been completely played off the park. The message was clear, if we can score 4 in one half so could they! Nothing silly, keep the work rate up and let's get the job done!!
2nd half Ville dug in, stuck to the game plan and despite conceeding one goal ran out comfortable winners 4-1.
The best hockey we have played as a team, even the opposition said we were by far the best team they had played against. Every single person played their part today, going forward we looked dangerous, defensively we looked solid and when we didnt have the ball we didn't make it easy for them. Lovely to have Mr Taylor back too after a year out, not that you would have known it!
A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon spent with friends in the November sunshine 🌞.
