Exeter Hornets B 4 Chard B

Chard came down to reality with a bump as their experienced side was outplayed for large parts of the first half with the home side quicker to the ball and did not allow Chard to advance. Mistakes and slow decision making was capitalised on and Chard went into the break two goals down. The second half was more the same at the start but surprisingly their fitness levels seemed to be good enough to trouble Hornets as time went on, Rollo Squires putting in a good amount of effort in occupying the defence, however as Chad chased a goal Hornets scored on the break. Chard did manage to pull one back when Squires scored from a penalty corner. Hornets scored another goal shortly afterwards from a disputed penalty corner and overall deserved a well won victory which knocked Chard off their lofty position of the week before. Hibbard, Dare, Mooney, Swann, Lewis, Willis, Johnson, Jones, Swain, Cheffey, Squires.
