Drove up and arrived in time to hunto down some Parking cake and a decent pork pie in the market in the town, then off the the ground which, for a new build, was not as 'flatpack' and samey as many.
A cracking game that, for the first 20 minutes looked like it was going to be a bit of a disaster. This seems to be a bit of of a theme for us, taking 15-20 minutes to get a handle on the game but, once we did get a grip, it was all about us.
Once again, nobody had a bad game. Jay mac maintained the improvement he showed last game. Wes did bloody brilliant at one point in the first half when he kept out a close range effort (deflection) close in to his left post. Nathan and Nathan ran the channels well. Pritch did the usual- sublime excelence with the odd moment of exasperation. Luongo was fairly solid in the middle as was Kas (though he had trouble staying on his feet- needed longer studs?). Hall and Ward were pretty solid. PowersRanger held the ball up well despite getting gripped up left right and centre. Ajose ran hard and took his goal very well.
Cooper looked well pleased when he came over with the team to take and give applause. I don't know what went on post final whistle but I saw him being 'escorted' from the tunnel by one of his staff and I think that made the plaudits all the more enjoyable for him.
The travelling support did us proud.
