Mens 2 vs West Herts M3

Cloudy with Sunny Spells and Showers 

The Rams gathered at the side of the pitch and watched the final minutes of the Women's 1s victory in the sunshine. The clouds started to threaten but by push back, they had blown over once more.

We were taking on West Herts M3 at home, hoping to continue a winning streak that seemed to be building.

The first half started with both sides testing each other, and the Rams had to face down a series of short corners. Kian and the PCDT did well to keep the scoreline at zero in the face of the shower of shots.

22 minutes in, West Herts scored from the top of the D - with a laser of a shot from one of the elder statesmen who provided a solid platform throughout for the visitors.

Taran was working overtime in defence, and Ray, Toby and TJ were also kept on their toes.

However, our forwards weren't just standing by and there were plenty of circle entries from Hassan, Owen, Bhim. 

The second half saw the clouds gather over the pitch, and despite great work in midfield from Sam, Henry (fresh(!?) from playing for the M1s in the morning), George, and Greg on the wing, it was hard to find the link ups that we needed to get around the experienced defensive squad we faced.

Another set of PCs saw us yield another goal at 42 minutes, and our fortunes seemed as changeable as the weather, with another goal at 53.

Sadly we couldn't find the ray of sunshine we needed, and by the final whistle, the sky was overcast and ready to rain.

Overall, a good match - with plenty to reflect on during our break next week.
