Bordenians 1st Team 3 v 2 Burnt Ash 1st Team

South Hockey League

THIS was a tight affair as both teams knew each other inside out after sharing promotion last year.

Before the team's settled however Ash enjoyed three clear cut chances in the first 10 minutes but it was the hosts who opened the scoring.

The game ebbed and flowed and Ash twice came from behind with goals by Michael Gillett and Simon Teale which led to an exciting but ultimately disappointing finale after Bordenians took the laed for the third time with a well taken follow up from a corner.

Ash thought they had equalised when a deflected shot went into the net but they were awarded a long corner rather than a goal.
