BDHC (6) v CoP4s (3)

An early start and a sluggish one; both teams slow to find any sort of rhythm. The Dragons weren't helped by the low sun making visibility poor when discerning the correct colour shirt to pass to, causing some undue hesitation and anxiety in possession.
Joseph Moisey made the breakthrough midway through the half, but Peterborough responded well and Brewer was thankful for the resilience of his face mask blocking a goal bound drag flick to keep the score at 1-0 heading into halftime.
There then followed eight goals in a topsy turvy second half which saw the game see-saw from the sublime to the ridiculous as both teams put together some flowing counter attacks, interrupted by misplaced passes, poor traps, and sometimes just blatantly passing the ball to the other team, the umpire, or just straight off the pitch entirely!
Thomas 'The Tank 'Fowkes looked to have given his team some breathing space with an early 2nd half goal, but Peterborough got themselves into it with a penalty corner. A great bit of overlapping from BDHC's very own Flying Scotsman, Angus Macbeth driving hard into the D put the ball on a plate for Alex Hutton to finish off and 3-1 looked comfortable. But the Dragons reject comfort, they like life to be tough, a challenge, a fight to the bitter end. So began the flurry of goals which could have seen the game go either way; Macbeth making it 4-1 before the defence went AWOL leaving a back post tap in off his own rebound despite Langley's superb first save. Fowkes then made it 5-2 with a cheeky deflection before Collins and Langley got in each other's way to allow another penalty corner for 5-3 just to keep the crowd interested. Moisey then grabbed his second of the game in the dying seconds to add a bit of gloss to the scoreline at 6-3.
We may not be the best team in this division, but we are hands down the most entertaining... seriously... come and watch us, it's never dull :)
