Rockets - Monday 21 March 2016

The Rockets were up against one of the top teams in the whole competition: Kingsway Pulse. Having already beaten one Kingsway team and drawn against another, they knew that Pulse would be looking for a convincing win. In the first half, Pulse’s experience in this league showed and the Rockets found the pace of the game challenging. However, all credit to our team, which played a strong defence game in the second half. They slowed Pulse to a fraction of their earlier speed and frustrated their fluent style of play. It must be remembered that the Rockets have been promoted from the Y3/4 league straight into the top tier of the Y5/6 league and each player has upped their game to meet this challenge. Our Player of the Day was Austin McAlpine, whose marking of the top, lightning-fast Kingsway player was breathtaking!
