Our second match of the day was against Rochdale. Our team had given everything against WACS. With only one sub to bring on - take a bow, Matthew; small, speedy, but still an apprentice, and only coming on for short periods at this point - our players got hardly any rest in either game, and they were tired.

Rochdale hit us with early goals and were 10-0 up before we came good at the end, scoring 2 - one each for Joe and Aaron, each of whom provided the assist for the other's goal. Erik really came to the fore in this match - you can see that rugby player's determination in his whole approach, chasing attackers, blocking, checking - we have another really good recruit in Erik!

The third match was Rochdale v. WACS and we loaned WACS 4 strong players - Will, Luke J in goal, Alex and Brandon. After the first 2 matches the result of this one was a surprise - WACS beating Rochdale 4-2. WACS did have a rest between their matches, and Rochdale may have been feeling the effects of two consecutive games, as we did. Of course, the fact that WACS had 4 of our stars could well have been a factor! Well done to them all for volunteering to help out WACS despite being so tired. They really fought hard, too. Brandon, who had been a bundle of energy again, came within a whisker of getting his first goal. I'll be betting on him getting it next week, or very soon after!
