Madchester

Sat saw the Statesmen travel to Manchester to play the Altrincham Aardvarx for their first meeting. It only took 1 min 40 to get on the scoresheet and then the Statesmen with 2 rolling lines never looked back (the Aardarx having 22 players) coming out eventual 22-1 winners.
Despite the scoreline the Aardvarx battled hard till the end earning the respect of the team and if it werent for their goalie it may have been a bigger scoreline. A very enjoyable game all round and the play was good with the scoring spread around the team. James led the way with 4+6, Ty next with 7+2, Mark and Stig getting hat tricks and Ritchie with a brace and John, Paul and Jean getting one each.
Then a very enjoyable evening out in Manchester (5th Avenue) with a few of the Aardvarx joining us as well, look forward to next year and them coming to London.
