Men's 2nd XI vs Canterbury M7

We had a local derby against Canterbury in our last outing before the Xmas break.

Ville had been accustomed to starting hard and fast and it had served us very well of late, today was no different. Less than 5 minutes into the game Perks won a short corner, which he converted to make it 1-0. Ten minutes later we went further ahead from another short corner routine. This time was slipped left by Perks to Seb who fired it into the far corner to make it 2-0.

Canterbury then began to grow into the game and the remainder of the half was fairly evenly contested but we went into the break 2-0.

Ville crucially managed to land the first blow in the 2nd half too. Fresh off the back of his two reverse stick goals the previous week, Simon scored an even better one this week nearly breaking the net. 3-0.

Canterbury managed to pull one back from a short corner to make it 3-1. An evenly contested 15 minutes or so spell played out before Ville managed to put the game to bed in the last 5 minutes.

The last 2 goals were pretty much identical. Jack picked the ball up on the right hand side, drove into the D and passed it to the far post to JK x 2. After winning DOD last week he was keen to make amends and duly slotted both goals home from a combined distance of 50cm 😀 to win the game 5-1. Two well worked goals to finish the game. 

Almost a shame the break has come now as Ville have been on a very good run, winning their last 5 games, scoring 25 and only conceding 4 in the process.
