Northop Hall 4 - Bowdon Killer Bees 2
With our hallowed leader Ollius Marcos Maximus Roundus
Powerwalkum Hairsprayus Coiferus Erectus absent the Bees set out for Northrop
Hall. Getting to Northrop Hall proved to be slightly more difficult that
the directions suggested. After a few minutes on the road the Killer Bee
convoy was forced to stop temporarily whilst a car was sent back to collect
that handy piece of hockey gear...namely the keepers kit. And of course,
an away trip with the Bees, wouldn't be the same without having an unplanned
scenic tour of the local countryside due to er some iffy navigating in
the lead car.
After the first few minutes it was clear that the oppo were rather good
as the defence of messrs Kirchin, Grant and Tennant was immediately put
under pressure. Having resisted the initial onslaught the Bees gained
some confidence and started playing some quality passing hockey. The Bees
were soon on top of their game and forcing Northrop Hall into making basic
errors...passing to the oppo and kicking the ball (they must have
stolen a copy of the Bee manual of how to play hockey : Yokker the Literary
Ed).
Half way through the first the Bees took the lead a backball followed
by a left to right cross field ball lead to the flurry of shots on the
oppo goal...the goalie may have saved those from Messrs Darbyshire and
Cooper but he could do nothing with the side stick shot from the edge
of the D from (fill in gap here! You may know who you are, but Yokker
didn't when he wrote this match report! Ho! Ho! - Grassing Ed). The
Bees were leading and the oppo weren't happy.
With half time beckoning the Bees defence lost concentration and in a
blink of an eye the Bees were behind 3-1.
There was still time for Colin Atkinson to nick a goal in an almightly
goalmouth scramble...it was a rather messy wood chopping moment...in fact
it was so noisy that Jonny almost thought he was back at work.
After yet another inspirational half time talk it was on with the second
half.
Regrettably the oppo stepped up their another five gears and the Bees
subsequently found it difficult to get out of their own half. Despite
being under constant pressure the defence were excellent and were unlucky
to concede a fourth goal in final couple of minutes.
And with that the whistle blew and it was back to Bowdon for a couple
of cheeky beers .
MOTM - Jon Bray for saying 'I've got a hangover so can I play in goal
?'
