With it being the first time the team had played all season and after a slow start from the
Coventry Cobras, in which Birmingham rockets took full advantage of, we started coming back slowly but surely with our heads held high. Even though chances looked slim after a high scoring first period from the rockets, the Cobras side was blessed with goals coming from début players
#89 Jamie Forster scoring twice and #3 Arnis Meijers also scoring where some older faces
#16 Adam Matteri and #81 Sam Prosser both with a goal each.
These goals gained the team confidence and kept us fighting until the end. The final score line was 7 - 5 to the Birmingham rockets and credit given where credit is due every one played a great game of hockey and we look forward to playing the team again.
Thanks again to all supporters making it to the game and everyone watching the live updates on our Facebook Page, and we hope to see you all at our up and coming games.
