REPORT: 
 
Despite a number of player changes from previous matches the team gelled well from the start and played some great open passing hockey moving the ball about to great effect. The result was a 2-0 lead at half time, the second goal of which was a stunning strike from the edge of the D by POTM Angus Irving.  
 
Our quality of play continued in the second half and pleasingly we put into effect the aspects identified during the half time talk and another goal duly followed to seal a thoroughly deserved 3-0 win.  
 
The few chances created by Norfolk Nomads were competently dealt with by the defence including a good reaction save by Tom Line in goal. 
 
Overall a assured performance.

LEAGUE: EAST DIVISION 6 NORTH EAST 
VENUE: Dragons Den 
RESULT: 6-1 Win 
 
REPORT: 
With numbers low across the club this Saturday, City were thankful to Dragons who lent a couple of players to make up our numbers.  
 
City started well and took the lead through a Tom Ling deflected strike. A storming Glenn Tobias run brought goal number two, Dave Kidner, Ed Cotton and James Dorling looked solid at the back with Harry Kidner and Angus Irving playing well on each wing. City were unlucky when Dragons snuck a goal in just before the break. HT 2-1 
 
Into the second half and City scored within a minute with Glenn Tobias stealing a goal at the far post following great work by Krishna Patel. 4 became 5 when Ling got his second goal with a clever reverse stick finish. The day was complete when young Krishna Patel who on debut fired home a low penalty corner strike for his maiden adult goal.  
 
Well played City a 6-1 win and some impressive performances for the youngsters.
