Bad day at the Office

The away fixture versus Beeston, last season's league winners, certainly saw a change in recent good results. BPHC 1st XI expected at high paced game against Beeston who are regularly involved in high scoring games. However it was Beeston who came out of the blocks considerabley quicker than Brooklands Poynton. The visitors conceeded early, despite there being a beeston foot in the lead up to the goal it was nothing more than the home team deserved with BPHC rather inviting the pressure on themselves. The early set back was only made worse when a second and third goal were conceded before half time. Credit due to the Beeston players effort levels and clinical play, but the first half Brooklands performance was well below par. A blast of a Fergie style hairdryer at half time you would hope would have woken Brooklands up, but instead the hole was dug ever deeper with Beeston catching Brooklands Poynton in possession at the back again and adding a fourth! After this goal the visitors decided to finally start playing, matching Beeston's effort levels on all parts of the pitch. There was finally a reply to Beeston's four goals from Kelly Baxter. A second should have been scored but instead after skillfully beating the Beeston keeper, Whinnerah less skillfully fired wide. To add further the what on the whole was not a great performance Beeston scored a fifth and Turner's flick late on in the game was saved. So the late comeback never materialised and the final score was 5-1. Despite this disappointing fixture there were certainly lessons learned and positives in that the final 20minutes demonstrated the BPHC resolve to push right till the final whistle and create chances that on another day may have got us out of jail.
