The manner in which they scored that victory has sparked life in their premier league campaign under new coach Samuel Phipps. After Sunday’s match, he spoke about how they intend to build on this victory. “I have to work on the defense. There are a lot of key players who are not here…and we have some reshuffling to do. We will have to go back to the pitch, to the drawing board and make things right,” Phipps said after Sunday’s match.
Village had an opening match they would want to forgot, losing 4-1 to Cayon Rockets. But their experienced coach Stephen Clarke knows exactly what they need to do to fix that problem. “Just
a little one or two things we have to work on; playing the ball a little faster, moving from defense
to attack and cut out the individual mistakes,” Clarke said.
In the main match up of the night, home side Flow 4G Cayon Rockets, will host Hotprings Bath United. Cayon is high on confidence after their impressive opening win versus Village and are looking to build on that performance.
