Result: Whitchurch D 5-1 Whitchurch E

A sunny and warm afternoon for the first of three meetings between the 5s and the 6s, possibly too warm if we're being honest.

The game started in a typically tight fashion as both teams worked hard to run off the summer rustiness, with the 5s bundling home a penalty corner midway through the half to take the lead through Gareth Thomas. A further penalty corner from Tom Vaal and a tap in for Adam Place ensured a 3-0 lead at the break.

After half time the 6s hit back almost immediately through a well worked deflection goal for Ben Pike to make it 3-1 and threaten a comeback. As the second half went on and legs tired on both sides the game opened up and chances came and went for both sides, due to great keeping from Bobby Mends and Cellan Cox and some less than top notch finishing!

As the game neared conclusion a flurry of penalty corners brought a second goal apiece for Adam Place and Tom Vaal, ensuring the 5s ran out 5-1 winners.
