The
next game of Round 4 was Minisernal versus Milstead.
Currently these two teams sat outside the knockout
qualification places but a victory here would
go a long way towards correcting that issue.
A Milstead win would see them climb a point
above Spider Mans & Eagle and into fourth.
A Minisernal win would see them join Spider
Mans on 3 points but that would only be good
enough for fifth due to goal difference….but
they would be back in the mix. A draw would
not be much good for either side.
You
felt things were beginning to slip away from
Minisernal a little bit. Two battling performances
had seen 5-3 defeats in Rounds 1 & 2 but
last time they had a confidence crushing 9-3
defeat albeit to the league leaders. This was
Milstead's chance to get a first European win
on the board and it was an opportunity they
grabbed with both hands.
Crucially,
Milstead grabbed the opening goal of the game
through Edouard Hallam. He added another to
give the English team a two goal advantage at
the break. After the change of ends they extended
their lead further with Jacob Mantel putting
his name in the scorer's book. Their must have
been palpitations when Animesh Landge pulled
a goal back to 3-1. However, Milstead re-asserted
their three goal lead wih Eddie Neath scoring
the fourth. Full-time, 4-1.
