Fitness an issue for the 5XI

Saturday 13th September Sonning 5’s vs Bracknell Terriors

This was a hard first game back for the 5th team. The game tested our fitness our skills and our stamina after the summer break. We started the game with a strong attack, unfortunately the opposition scored their first goal within the first minute. Sonning then battled on with Craig, Kevin, Tyler, Simon and Geraint holding up the defence with Rhys in goal. In the Middle we had Syed, Elliott, Dave, Ed, Mike and Captain Max, Grant was up front. A few minutes after the first opposition goal Sonning came back with Grant scoring our first in the back of the net with the help of Elliott. Towards the end of the first half, Sonning came through again with Elliott scoring and Grant assisting. Half time was whistled the team had the first two minutes in silence to get their breath back. After a positive team talk we prepared for the second half. Bracknell came out very strong in the second half scoring a three goals and giving our defence a lot of work. Mike then scored another goal for Sonning. After a very difficult second half the final whistle blew.
Score: Sonning 3 Bracknell 5
MOM: Elliott- Superb skills in Mid and scoring and assisting the goals.
DOD: Tyler- Being late and the ‘Churchill Tradition’.
