Neston travelled to play South Cheshire Badgers on Saturday and came across a side who were probably at least on average a year older. Once skipper Rob Beswick had looked up to his opposing captain and won the toss the game got underway. Some early saves by new keeper Chris Warbrick could not keep the South Cheshire attackers at bay and within 15 minutes 3 goals had been scored. Neston stuck to their task and Rob Beswick and Sam Dewey started to win some ball in mid field. A number of attacks eventually led to a short corner, an excellent shot by Beswick saw a diving save from their keeper. Some clever passing between Ben Crane and Scott Barry nearly led to another chance. Cheshire scored a fourth before the interval.
The second half started much like the first with three quick goals, but again Neston kept their heads up and got their way back into the game. Max Dutton and Richard Capes built some good attacks from the back and a number of short corners, one resulting in a shot from Scott Barry just missing the post. Syd Roberts and James Fennah stuck to the wings keeping the sides shape, James Chester, Dafydd Stroud and Peter Harrison defended well at full back, Greg Chester and Ollie Eastwood worked well in midfield. South Cheshire added an eigth just before the end.
The Neston side did really well against a much older and experienced side, no one gave up and the side continued to try and play passing hockey up to the end!
Man of the Match - Chris Warbrick - some excellent saves, two with his head!
Thankyou to all the parents who made the journey and helped with transport.
