Half time: Royal Holloway 0 - 6 Hitchin 'A'

During the 3rd & 4th quarters Royal Holloway weren't quite sure what had hit them as Hitchin 'A' won 95% of the face offs and began to put the ball in the back of the net one after the other. They scored 7 goals in the 3rd and 7 in the 4th quarter. Royal Holloway did have some possession during these quarters, but they were unable to break through the strong Hitchin 'A' defence and their goalie, who made several great on-target saves. However, Royal Holloway did capitalise on a moments in-attention by the Hitchin 'A' defence and they scored their only goal in the 3rd quarter.

This was a good, clean physical match with very few penalties being served. Royal Holloway displayed some great team work but just lacked a little in their fininshing touch. With a bit more experience and match play Royal Holloway will be strong opponents in the near future.Once again the experience of the Hitchin 'A' team allowed them to secure an all important win.
