Bathroom Unit 18 - 2 H-ton Hawks (Friday Subsidiary Cup 2006)

H-ton Hawks suffered another heavy defeat despite fielding a revised and strengthened team. The change of line-up and position shuffle did not provide enough to prevent the Hawks slumping to a 18-2 defeat to Bathroom Unit.
Even with captain Robert Lawrence missing, the addition of Borthwick and Houghton (returned from festival duty), and the switch of Cummings to goalkeeper had promise to overcome last week's beating. This, however, was to be the case.
Bathroom Unit, a team mainly consisting of younger, fitter and more skilful players, used all three of these attributes to tear apart the Hawks defence and score goal after goal. Closing down the Hawks and not letting them play the ball, Bathroom Unit showed to all how big the gulf between skill and fitness levels was.
Despite a better second half performance, great goalkeeping from Cummings and a couple of consolatory goals from Borthwick, nothing could stop the 18-2 rout from taking place.
The Hawks can use this game as the route to gain further experience and match fitness.

Next match is a Subsidiary Cup group game on Friday 8st September 7.00pm, Court 1 against Roof Truss.
