Match Report - M2 travel to Canterbury.
James Perks
Final game of the season away against one of our nearest rivals (in distance and points as we were level on points at the start of the day), Canterbury, awaited us.
Another flying start from Ville saw us take the lead after only three minutes. The ball broke to Dave Hooper who found Perks on the byline who passed across the face of goal for Sidders to finish and make it 1-0.
Ville found themselves 2-0 up five minutes later after being awarded a penalty corner. A straight strike from Perks and the keeper couldn't keep it out.
Ten minutes later with a Ville break, Perks slipped it Simon Hooper who drove towards their D, passed it to the other Hooper, Dave, who beat the oncoming keeper to make it 3-0.
Canterbury did manage to pull one back before the break from a short corner to make it 3-1 at half time.
More of the same was asked for in the 2nd half with some sublime hockey having been played during the 1st half.
The 2nd half was a tighter affair, Canterbury managed to get another goal to make it 3-2 which could have set the game up for a nailbiting finish. Thankfully Ville also managed to score another to put the game out of sight and make it 4-2. Simon drove into the D, unselfishly passed it to Perks who returned the favour 😀 passing it off the post to Simon for him to score.
A great win against our local rivals and a very strong finish to the season, with 5 wins in our last 5 games. Lots to be pleased with and build upon for next season where we will hope to mount a serious title challenge. #Ville #5inarow
