M4's were looking forward to finally getting back to playing hockey after an extended Christmas break and faced a Ricky 3's side for the first and only time this season. With a starting line up of Paul Hemmant in goal M4's defended well with a back 4 of Jon Parker, Pete Hindle, Ian Noble and Graham Spicer. Unfortunately, on the 15th minute, M4's conceded. M4's weren't disheartened though and played some good hockey with Chris Niewdach combining well with Josh Lake in CM, Kal Singh playing well as LM and Alex Lake playing well as RM. Lee Pickersgill played well as RW getting some good balls into the D creating good chances for Harp Mann and Simon Russell, the two strikers. Despite the good play from M4's, a further goal in the first period from a PC and 2 further goals in the second period from Ricky 3's meant a final scoreline of 4 - 0....overall performance level was good from everyone and encouraging for the second half of the season with at least 7 more matches to play.....MOM Kal Singh ?
