City's shoulder-to-shoulder season had a bit of a misstep last week as our first match, a home match against Chichester, had to be cancelled at the last moment due to a particularly nasty traffic accident on the A27. We'll reschedule that match for later in the season, but this did mean that our season started off with an away match against the reigning league champions, Sarisbury.
Last year's matches against Sarisbury often left City wanting (see match reports here, here and here). So how did we do tonight?
Sarisbury - 490
M. Guille (100) P. Pearce (99) G. Barber (95) M. Holdway (97) I. Kuprov (99) |
Portsmouth City - 489
I. Cooper (96) A. Nevatte (97) S. Hart (98) G. Scruton (100) R. Ashman (98) |
So Portsmouth City is not off to the best of starts but with 489 we still managed to shoot well above last year's team average of 486.7 so there is definitely cause for hope. Many congratulations to Sarisbury for edging a win and well done to Matt Guille and Gordon Scruton for the possibles.
Special apologies go to Tom Sommerville, who on his first ever shoulder-to-shoulder match had to shoot in a borrowed jacket with an unfamiliar scope. Sorry, Tom, I'll remember your jacket next time! :-)
