Ashford 4′s 5 Slough 3′s 6
Goals : Big Amit (2), Alex Betts, David Merchant, Gordo
On paper, looks a spectator’s dream but in reality this was a horrible game I am trying hard to forget. Goals were flying in every few minutes in the first half – 4 all – but there were as many handbags and confrontations as the game degenerated pretty quickly.
Slough hadn’t brought an umpire and persuaded the 2′s ump to do the first half but they then dropped one of their young players to do the second half (which was shameful given they had half a team of veterans who should have done it (but of course that would have weakened their team)).
For the record they had a short corner routine we could not cope with, but we did not help ourselves with our finishing which needs to be more confident (even though we scored 5!!!)
Onwards and hopefully upwards though availability is an issue next week
