After heavy rain made both Boardman & Eccles' and Timperley's grass pitches unplayable, it was agreed to play on the green astro. The rain did leave a lot of surface water on the pitch, but once this was cleared the match was ready to go. Also ready to go was Timperley, who started extremely brightly and it wasn't long before Kuba opened the scoring with a good assist from Lukie. The same players combined again shortly after to double the lead. Tom Hayton then got in on the act with a good shot and Mattie scored from distance after picking up in midfield. Tom Hayton then reacted to finish well from close range.
Q1 5-0

The second quarter continued in the same vain, Mattie getting his second with a shot that broke the net and Tom Hayton also finishing well. B&E then broke their duck before Kuba was next to get involved with a good finish, after a strong solo run before completing again from another Lukie assist. Mattie then won a good ground ball and ran direct at the opposition defence to score his third. B&E got a second before a fine finish from Lukie after a solo run and the half was ended with Kuba scoring after another Lukie assist.
Q2 12-2

B&E to their credit came out in the third quarter and tightened up the game in midfield and defence and the two teams took it in turns scoring throughout the quarter. Kuba and Tom Hayton both taking limited opportunities well.
Q3 14-5

Moving into the final quarter, Kuba was again on the mark after yet another Lukie assist, before Kuba returned the favour for Lukie to score. B&E then managed a couple of unanswered goals themselves but then Mattie then got in on the assist act, becoming provider for Bruce to get on the score sheet and Kuba completed a very satisfactory day with his 8th goal.
Full time 18-8

It was definitely a game of two halves with Timperley's brilliant energy and great team play in the first half proving too much and the second half finishing all square 6-6.
