Aldershot & Farnham Earn First Win of the Season
Aldershot & Farnham Hockey Club's men's first team recorded their first win of the season, defeating Gillingham 2-0 at home in South Central Division One South.
The team took the lead 15 minutes into the game when Nathan Stanley played a ball through to Ian Metcalfe, creating a two-on-one opportunity. Metcalfe then squared the ball to Jonny Groves, who swept it past the goalkeeper.
Although A&F had chances to strengthen their lead, they were held to a one-goal advantage at the break due to careless passing and wasted opportunities.
In the second half, A&F secured the crucial second goal midway through. Metcalfe intercepted a failed aerial out of defense, putting Groves in position to score again, finishing with his second attempt.
