Match Report - 31 Oct 2009, Royston Hockey Club Mens 5th XI beat Southgate Adelaide 4th XI
Royston's Youth side thoruoghly deserved their first win of the season in this friendly fixture. Fielding 9 under 15 year old players for much of the game, the team demonstrated awareness and distribution beyond their limited experience. Goals came from David Whitaker, Simon Hughes (2) and a first ever mens team goal for Andrew Lawrence after Toby Hall had hit the post with a fine shot from the top of the "D". Man of the match, John Gourd, caused the opposition defence numerous problems, whilst the Royston defensive trio of Farmer, Jackson and Stewart held firm when under pressure. Josh Hughes and Josh Montague-Fuller controlled the game beautifully from midfield with chances continuing to be created right through to the final whistle.
