Review: A tough school week, a long journey, 5 minutes warm up, a couple of players missing, a disciplined and physically strong opponent, a cold easterly breeze. The feint-hearted were preparing a list of excuses. But no! A mentally tough Felsted arrived and played with composure and patience against a tough opposition that proved difficult to break down. Norwich controlled possession for much of the game without really threatening. Felsted looked dangerous on the break and at set pieces. Burns at left half was faultless; George Halls, new to the side, looked like he'd been playing 1st XI for a few seasons; Hutchinson - a goal scorer with his first touch in 1st XI hockey. Some lapses in concentration late in the game squandered the two goal lead as a number of clumsy challenges gave away a succession of short corners. A tense last ten minutes ensured. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Sam Malins, the self-professed New Marvin of the side, tireless in his work rate up front, was there at the right time, finishing off a superb team move.
Star Player: Rorie Burns
