Match Report - 29th October 2011
This was the second outing of the season for the team, this time at Cambridge Regional College.
First game of the day was against tournament hosts Cottenham. The first half saw Lynn dominate from the start with good combination passing and the opposition resorting to long shots which were successfully saved by the keeper therefore going into half time 4-0 leaders. The second half saw more of the same with Lynn using Cottenham's less than accurate passing to their advantage resulting in all five outfield players scoring in this game to finish with a 9-0 win.
Second game of the day was against Norwich A. This was a hard and fast game showing the other teams how a game at this level could be played. The smaller rink suiting Norwich's playing style, Lynn kept applying the pressure and were rewarded with two well crafted goals before half time. The second half saw more in front of goal chances but couldn't make it into the back of the net, with Norwich getting a goal back saw Lynn having to settle for a 2-1 win, this was without doubt the best game of the season so far.
