The Beez started the game with 12 players at the pitch against a full 20 man squad from NYP. NYP dominated the first ten minutes and were awarded an early penalty corner after Garf decided to try to hatch the ball after making an early save. NYP had clearly been practising their PC's as a low drag flick saw them go 1-0 up.
The arrival of Anton (MVP) and Ben after 10 minutes instantly saw a vast improvement in the Beez play and they dominated the rest of the second half. The Beez spurned numerous chances to get level most notably Rego managing to sky one over the bar from 1m out in front of an open goal (deservedly winning him the Dick of the Day award).
In the second half the Beez chased after the game but the better fitness of the NYP youngsters let them take a grip of the game. Garf was called on to make numerous saves but couldn't do anything about NYP's second which came from a very well worked deflection from a PC. Late in the game NYP made it 3 - 0 with open play goal which came after a clear foot in the D which the Umpire somehow missed.
Many positives from the game but it clearly showed that if the Beez want to compete for a playoff place they need to train harder!
Next match Saturday 30th July 3pm vs. C&C
