🔴⚫️ Rocks Weekend Round-Up:

1sts hosted Briston Res. at Green Lane on Saturday, after only playing at Briston in the same fixture 2/3 weeks ago coming away with a heavy loss. We knew this was a game to gain 3 points so with a new look 1st team with M. Sturman at the realm. The game started perfectly for Rocks after going up 1-0 through Ali! We then went up 2-0 through Rab (fantastic so far), then a hero emerged from the bench, J. Horscroft, returning to Rocks this season after being away from the club for 8 years or so, he only went and got a bloody hat trick didn’t he! Once the first goal went in from Horscroft, confidence flowed so he was playing at 130% and the rest is history!

FT: 5-1 to the Rocks

Fantastic chaps, well done and a well earned 3 points - we will start as we mean to go on for sure. I imagine the 🍕 afterwards tasted all the more delicious after.

A tough day however for Ressies who were on their travels to Hockering, who were class throughout and took their chances well. We did however manage to score 3 through a Preston smash (another Sayer in the ranks), a class S. Farrow header from a measured J. Trigg free kick, and a ‘never in doubt’ calm as you like penalty converted by J. Smith. Some class handling and saves from K. Painton in goal too (definitely got his dad’s traits). Well done despite the result Ressies, every single one of the lads gave their hearts throughout and things will come soon. A very fresh team to build. MOTM: Jesus (the Rocks version)

We’re on the hunt for a Reserves manager as Marty is now 1st team manager, get in touch if interested, we have had enquires we are taking into consideration already too.

No Vets or Ladies matches but they return this weekend 🔴⚫️
