1st Team Face Barford in Pre-Season Friendly
Posted by Rocco Mancini on 2 October 2018
15th Sept 2018: Home team Barford played with a strong 1st team and as they play a higher standard of league hockey we were expected to take a heavy beating. From 3-0 down at half time, our young squad battled to a 5-2 defeat.
I have nothing but pride for the 1st team performance at Barford.
True grit and determination. Every West Bromwich player left it all on the pitch. Losing experienced players this season left me very worried about the season ahead.
Watching the youngsters today made me realise our future is Bright. Alex White is a great roll model as well as being a gifted player and Captain. Paul Moore a true Legend. Anyone who saw today's game would agree. All of the team I could mention glowingly.
Shiv Ram Kapoor has stepped up and showed the talent that We all knew he had, for- filling the talent he showed at nine years old scoring 50 goals for Wednesbury Badgers. The season before he moved from the dark side to the light.I would like also to mention through all the bad days, thick and thin Rob Clarke has always been there. I know his passion for our beloved Hockey Club. His boys were amazing today .I could send my usual match report but tonight I am showing a bit of Artistic licence.
I look forward to the next 1st team game with excitement.
West Bromwich Goals- Tom Clarke & Shiv Ram Kapoor.
Man of the match : Shiv Ram Kapoor.
