Match Preview – Edgbaston 6
11.11.2017

Words from our illustrious skipper: “never before have I come away from a loss feeling so positive”
And he couldn’t be more right. Last week saw the Mighty 4s come away with another defeat under our belts at the hands of Sutton Coldfield, but that wasn’t what we took from the encounter. We played some great hockey, on both an individual and a team level, and we made it necessary for Sutton to really up their game in order to walk away with 3 points.

So on to Edgbaston. We can expect another tough game but, if we proved anything last week, it was that we can pull together, keep the basics on point, play for each other, and really put the higher sides we’re facing on the back foot. We are more than capable of driving into their half and into their D, we can win short corners and convert them – with a success rate of 66%, as displayed last week – and we can find the back of the net. In short, we have proven that we can hold our own in this higher division and we belong here.

Everyone loves an underdog so let’s take the fight to Edgbaston and claim some long overdue, and well deserved, points.
