MATCH REPORT

Sutton fielded a new look team in the first of this season's monthly Under 14 league meets. They start in the lower tier as a result of the final placings from last year, but soon gelled as a team and played some good hockey. It may be a new season, it may be a new side, but the traditional slow start was still in full effect as they laboured to a 1-0 defeat to Bourne Deeping. Leadenham were up next and Sutton rode out 5-0 victors with goals from White, Gray, Lamming, Forrest and Portass. Sleaford proved much too strong in the next match and brushed aside Sutton's challenge with a 6-1 victory, Will White claiming the consolation goal with a cross that was turned in by a defender. In the last match the passing was much better and an adventurous formation with only one defender saw them run out 4-0 victors, with goals coming from Gray, White, Shire and Thorpe, which meant that every outfield player on the day found the back of the net.
