Bowdon Men's 4s vs Chester Men's 3s - Saturday 5th November 2011

Won 3-1
MOM – Matt Ormont
The mighty Chester 3rd XI set off en masse for an early start at Bowdon in high spirits and looking forward to testing their skills against a free scoring Bowdon team on their tricky water based pitch. A very youthful Chester side made the trip, and they were thankful for the experience and wisdom Pete 'bang and the forwards gone' Sillett in goal, and Matt Ormont's man of the match performance in the back line. Chester's resilient youngsters grew into the match, and their free-flowing hockey put Chester in-front going into the break. The highlight of the half was Mike Mugford goal to opening the scoring, the student rounded off a neatly worked penalty corner. Tom Bell put in a season defining performance alongside Chris White in the heart of midfield with their solid tackling and crisp passing driving the team through to victory. The Scott brothers continued to entertain with their outstanding link-up play throughout. Mike Cooper's majestic reverse strike after a mazy dribble- at one point he actually considered striking the ball on his open side- capped off the victory and left the visitors jubilant.
