Three teams lined up for Saturdays Skate hockey competition which was played as a round robin.
First up were the Blacks and Whites where the Blacks attack quickly established itself, Kieran Smith putting the ball into the side netting and Magnus Laurenson hitting first the post then the crossbar before scoring a fine solo goal. Some commited defending from Andy Harper and Alex Watt helped calm the Whites down and develop their own attacks. Andy Harper broke down the left, cut back a pass across goal where Magnus Johnson was on hand to slide it home.
Final score Blacks 1 v 1 Whites.
In the second game the Black attack continued to dominate, Magnus Laurenson put them ahead early in the first period, John McDiarmid levelled the score for Colours against the run of play picking up a rebound from a blocked Guy Smith shot. In the second period Amy Harper reestablished Blacks lead and Kieran Smith made it 3 -1 late in the third.
Final score Blacks 3 v 1 Colours.
In the final game Alex Watt was made to work hard in Whites defence as Andy Harper, Joe O'Connor and Magnus Johnson pushed forward. The attacking strategy worked when Joe picked up a pass from Magnus to score a goal for Whites at the end of the second period. The Colours came out fighting in the third and Roseanne Watt was unlucky not to score off a John McDiarmid cross. the Whites defence was eventually undone in an end to end move involving all the Colour players. Guy Smith cleared the ball from his own goalmouth to Roseanne who slipped the ball to John. John's cross found Steven Stove in front of goal who drew in two defenders before dropping a pass to Guy who scored in the top right corner.
Final score Whites 1 v 1 Colours.
