Having a few players out , 5 players backing up from Saturday games and playing late on a Sunday must have had a mental effect on us.
Uni played well and we were right in it with both teams having a few opportunities in the first half. Solid defense by Damien, Travis and some good saves by Luke kept the score to nil all for the half.. Issac and Steve Sawyer played well to build the play up and our Captain, Frank, once again was tireless in defence and attack.

Whilst we started out well we ran out of legs and after a freak goal they came at us with a strong attack and their defense held up very well. Isaac played well at right half and Damien and Travis again covered the back and Damien showed great strength with some brilliant attacking runs. Steve Sawyer was solid in defence and attack and Frank was everywhere he had to be. Luke made some great saves and was unlucky to have them score against him. As for the rest of us, we just either ran out of legs, guts, heart and the basic skills required to win a game of hockey.

We were flat in defence and commited our selves to the tackle to often, our early ball were nearly non -existant and tackling back was appalling. Our traps went to them and our passes were to soft.
Our warm up was sloppy and its usually a good indicator of what the game is going to be like.
3 points went begging but once again we struggled with numbers with 4 key players out.
But its only one game with 3 opportunities before round three.
3 Points Damien Rendell
2 Points Frank Coman
