Hosts and league leaders held in 10 goal game.

On the back of a big victory the previous week TCS A travelled to Bridgwater to play a team topping the table and on a run of 3 wins from 3. Bridgwater started the better of the two teams and capitalised on some sloppy play from TCS racing into a 2 - 0 lead before being pegged back 2 - 2 following fine goals from Jack Daly and Mike Eele. A further goal from Bridgwater meant they took a lead into the half time break.

10 players returned to the field following a green card for Dan Adams and aimed to keep the game tight until a full compliment was restored. Shortly after TCS began to impose themselves on the game and with more goals from Mike (2) and one fine finish from Toron Everett, TCS took a two goal lead into the final 10 minutes 5 - 3. With a further 2 minute suspension, for Jason Harris this time, TCS had a storm to weather and unfortunately the lead could not be held. Bridgwater finished strong and TCS ended up clinging on to a 5 - 5 draw.

There were strong performances across the field from front to back. While TCS collected 3 green cards they never appeared out of the game. Bob made some excellent saves to keep TCS in the game, Josh, Dan, Ali and Nick across the backline put bodies on the line to hold a strong Bridgwater attack cutting out and blocking numerous attacks. The midfield of Mike, Toron and Jason proved adept in both attack and defence and created a huge number of chances. The front line capitalised on a number of these and worked to give TCS the best opportunity of taking anything from the game. Lee, Josh HB and Jack grafted to engineer chances and frustrate the Bridgwater defence. Man of the Match Thomas Rew showed his skill well up top in a lone role and was unlucky not to add a goal to a fine performance.

Many thanks team, enjoy a week off and then its Vale.
