Rocester FC v Coventry Copsewood FC
MFL Division One
Kick-off 3:00pm
Following their disappointing midweek
performance against Uttoxeter Town, The Romans hoped to make amends
as they welcomed Coventry Copsewood FC to Hillsfield.
The starting line-up saw Jay Lovatt coming
in at right-back for the injured Matt Nutt, Tommie Cooke moved into
central defence following Ash Thompson's injury, Jack Dundas moved
into midfield and Liam Robinson was drafted into the front three.
Rocester started in a spritely fashion and scored after just 8 minutes when Liam Robinson ran through to tap in a loose ball into the corner!
Score: Rocester 1-0 Coventry Copsewood
After just 22 minutes, Liam doubled his tally when he stabbed in a cross which just managed to cross the line.
Score: Rocester 2-0 Coventry Copsewood
Then on 25 minutes, following a failed clearance by the Romans, Sean Kavanagh stabbed in the loose ball for Coventry.
Score: Rocester 2-1 Coventry Copsewood
Following a Rocester substitution on 32 minutes
due to injury,(Ollie Marsh off, Derry Creighton on), the Romans continued to apply pressure and in the dying seconds of the first half,
a Rocester shot came off a Copsewood defender, rebounded off the bar and once again,
that man Liam Robinson got to the ball first and tapped in for his hat trick!!!
Half-time score: Rocester 3-1 Coventry Copsewood
The Romans were up and running from the start of the second half and on the 48 minute mark,
Jack Thatcher played a ball down the left to Liam Robinson who in turn, squared the ball to Jack Stevens who then smashed it into the waiting net.
Score: Rocester 4-1 Coventry Copsewood
After 59 minutes, Rocester made their second substitution (Jordan Godfrey off, Luca Sorrentino on).
The Romans continued to dominate and on 67 minutes, a cross from Jack Thatcher was met by a diving header from Liam Robinson
which flew into the top left hand corner.
Score: Rocester 5-1 Coventry Copsewood
Rocester made their final substitution after 70 minutes (Jack Stevens off, James Handley on).
With 15 minutes to go, Jack Dundas unleashed a curling strike from outside the box - straight into the top left-hand corner of the net!
Score: Rocester 6-1 Coventry Copse wood
On 86 minutes, Jack Dundas doubled his tally with a superb curling free kick from just outside the box and straight into the top left-hand corner of the net!
Full time score: Rocester 7-1 Coventry Copsewood
And last but not least, the 'Man of the Match' was awarded to Liam Robinson for his outstanding contribution...
