Knights

A local derby today that had it all. Sunshine, End to end stuff in a 10 goal thriller which was more evenly matched than the score reflects. For the first half the teams were well matched and went into the break at 2-1 Hawks – Hawks perhaps getting nervous now they are in touching distance of winning the League? All the goals in the first half were spectacular in their own way. Pacy attacking from Hawks was met with strong defending by Tigers – and the midfields were evenly matched. The second half was a slightly different story. Despite falling behind and pulling themselves back into the game twice, Tigers resolve was eventually broken by a goal mouth mix-up which gave Hawks their 5th and Tigers heads dropped although they did create a couple of chances before shipping two more to rather flatter Hawks. A game I am sure the neutrals enjoyed more than the coaches! From my point of view, it was great to see the significant progress made by Tigers since the reverse fixture. As I approached the field it was impossible to tell who was who as the play was so evenly balanced.
