Sat 6th March saw the Statesmens inaugaral game against the Streatham Bulldogs, with a few key plaeyers missing it was always going to be an uphill battle in which was a very enjoyable game (well, everyone enjoyed it except Chris).
The Statesmen started lively and opened the scoring after a minute with a scorcher from John Leslie, only to see the Bulldogs equalise after 4mins and get a 2nd after 7mins. The Bulldogs scored 3 in quick succession on 10mins an 16 with the Statesmen getting a couple back on 17mins, to finish the period 6-3.
The second was more one sided scorewise with the Bulldogs netting 4 to the Statesmens 1 and tired legs and the inability to put the puck in the net took its toll, the 3rd ended 2-0 to the Bulldogs in a more closely fought game for the first half than the scoreline suggested. Everyone enjoyed the game and the Statesmen look forward to the return leg.
