Result: Southgate M6 4 – 3 Indian Gymkhana M5
Goalscorers: James Wood (x2); Lum Chau; Freddie Bachler
Match Report by: Andy Robertson
No slow start this week for the M6s. A solid opening was rewarded with a James Wood goal. We kept the pressure on, they did something naughty and Lum slotted home the penalty stroke. Indian Gym didn’t implode though and got a couple of goals through aggressive/lucky finishing at penalty corners. 2-2 at half time.
We were well in it and needed to focus on playing our own game. Two minutes into the second half a horrendous mistake by their centre back was punished swiftly by Woody Jr again. It was a tight game with tension mounting and tempers rising when the move of the match was sweetly finished off by Freddie. A heinous tackle by the skipper & the resultant flick gave IG a glimpse of getting back in the game, but the 6s stood firm again.
Congratulations to MVP James Wood for his brace, runner up Laurence for his enthusiastic endeavours, Paul C for his successful return in goal, and “”back to hockey”” graduates Alex & Seb for their M6s debuts.
