On Sunday the Statesmen travelled down to the Isle of Wight, we were expecting a close game and it didnt disappoint until the last ten minutes, eventually losing 13-7 but the scoreline doesnt reflect the closeness of the game.
The first period finished off 2-1 to the statesmen, the game started off at a fast pace and there was chances at either end until the deadlock was broken at 10mins, only for the dinos to even it up 4 mins later. Then the Statesmen finished off the period with Ty's second of the game with only 6 seconds left.
The 2nd period started like the first and the Dinos got their nose in front after just 44 seconds, which then the Statemen replied with Isaac scoring only 30 secs after that goal, all level again. A loss of concentration from the Statesmen saw the Dinos score 3 goals in a 3 min span just 20 secs after the tying goal, a quick regroup and the Statesmen finished the period with 3 goals from Milan, John W and James scoring on his debut with 30 seconds left in the 2nd. All level again going into the 3rd.
The 3rd was a bit tighter affair with neither team seemidly able to break the deadlock until after 10mins the Dinos scored another 3 quick goals in less than a minute, the Statesmen pulled one back straight after with John W's 2nd of the night but it wasnt enough and with the Statesmen looking tired the Dinos got another 4 unanswered goals to finish the match. It was a good game overall and everyone enjoyed it and will be looking forward to the return leg.
Well done to Paul D and James who got points on their debuts for the Statesmen and James with a well deserved MOTM.
