Event: Bristol and West League
Teams: Swindon Dolphin v Newton Abbot I
Venue: Milton Road Health Hydro - Swindon
Date: Sunday, 20th April 2008
Swindon Dolphin’s fine run of form continued with a solid home performance and a two goal victory against Newton Abbot’s first team at Milton Road on Sunday. The home side started stronger and were in control throughout, hitting the visitors with five goals in the first period and by the half way stage were seven ahead. This allowed Dolphin to make a number of substitutions which ensured that the whole squad had good quality water time. Goals were spread across the team - captain Andy Hicks scored 3, Chris Selby, Michal Trzeciak and Diogo Monteiro secured a brace each with Mark Lawlor and Matt James recording single strikes.
Selby commented after the fixture: “the performance was encouraging and we played some excellent Polo early on. If we continue to play like we did in the first two quarters today then we can look forward to a successful season."
Dolphin’s next match is on Sunday 27th of April at home to a very strong Cardiff University team.
Result: Swindon Dolphin 11-9 Newton Abbot I
Team: Andy Watts, David Quinlivan (1 major), Chris Selby (2 goals), Andy Hicks (3 goals), Andy Prowse, Tim Newcombe, Ian Brewer (1 major), Matt James (1 goal, 1 major), Pete Everett, Mark Lawlor (1 goal), Michal Trzeciak (2 goals, 1 major), Keith Wills (1 major), Diogo Monteiro (2 goals, 1 major)
