Revenge is sweet! Timperley 14 - Poynton 9.

It looked like another typical Timperley show, start with promise and then fall apart letting a half reasonable side beat us. We won the first quarter 2-1 but Poynton came back and at half time, the scores were level at 4-4.We have a lot of talent in this team, to a man, they have a great deal to give and should really be able to have the fortitude to go and win every game they play. I' m not sure if its apathy or lack of confidence but this is what lets other teams get back into the games and when we lose a lead, heads go down and its all over, its happened serval times already this season.... not this time though! at 3/4 time, we were down 5-7. A good few words were said by the coaches, some soul searching , a renewed desire to play as a team and show how good they can be and you've never seen the last 15 minutes of a match like this one! We fought hard for ground balls, supported each other, had belief and scored 9 goals against 2 to win the match 14-9; stunning!!

Alex topped the scoring with 4 goals and 4 assists, Joe Harris bagged 3 with 2 assists, James Hackett impressed with 3 goals and 1 assist, both Nathan and Tim Nicol got 2 each. Our work on man -ups at Wednesdays training paid off as we scored 4 goals from set play, a great improvement over recent weeks. lets hope this fight and team play continues, if so, we'll be playing in the final again. Great match, the lads did themselves and Timperley proud today.

Thanks to Glyn Reacroft for the report.
