22/1/12: RHF Falcons 4 - Wideopen Rockets 3

Seven Goal Thriller

This was the game of the season so far for the Rockets.  Of the four goals scored by the home team, 2 came from simple slips ups.  Despite the score the Rockets were always on top of the game with superior game play, superior possession but little luck on the day.  We were 1 goal behind when an unlucky loss of possession caught us off guard.  Following that a kinking run from Ben into the box saw a badly timed challenge resulting in a penalty which Mark dispatched with supreme grace.  2:1 at half time was a travesty but the Rockets can out in the second half full of vigour and wave after wave of attacks finall brought an equaliser with a sublime one touch passing display ending is a cracking goal for Alex.  After a mix up at the back we were 3:2 down but up popped Reiss With another equaliser.  We did eventually go down 4:3 but there were many highlights.  Matthew Moffat was back to his glatatorial best in defence with no one getting past him - he deservedly claimed the man of the match accolade.  Ethan has been working on his first touch and there were gasps of astonishment from the crowd time after time at the skill and class Ethan showed each time he collected the ball and on most occasions distributed the ball as well as anyone has seen this season.
