London Raiders - Sunday 18 Sept 16

[broomwagon]

A truly entertaining match - real end to end stuff. Raiders are to be respected for the struggle they put up, and particularly with a very short roster - presumably their coach has been working on stamina. Our squad though showed plenty of depth - surviving the loss of Strawson who was gamed, and Fowler, who went off early, and later, having changed into his suit, was seen to be holding his ribs - hope this doesn't prove too costly in the long run. Coming back from behind, eventually, to win 4-2 (and after a goal was scrubbed) demonstrated a real determination by the Mos.

I think a mention about the refereeing is also called for. After the antics reported at Chelmsford last week, Soboljovs seemed to take a firmer grip on this week's proceedings and handed out plenty of minutes in penalties for roughing, of which there were some examples, Mason Webster certainly left Pitchley wondering about the sagacity of winding him up........

Next week Solent - and judging by their 4-3 loss to Chelmsford this weekend,
they may also prove to be opponents it would be unwise to underestimate.

Thanks broomwagon, your summary is appreciated, especially by those of us who`d love to have been there but are simply too far away.

Seems like the league is going to be very competitive again, this is great for the NIHL and great for the fans.

Hope that Callum is not too badly hurt; wish him and the other Dynamos who suffered knocks and bruises, or worse (!) quick recoveries.

Great start to the season by the Mos - all looking good !

Looking forward to seeing the highlights on mos tv. I was getting the updates on Twatter. Sounds like a good game; shame about losing Fowler early doors though.
