The Swindon away game… Chelmsford expected to win but unknown yet, was by what measure. Could the score be close or be further apart than anticipated? The lads didn't know… As game time neared, the Chelmsford under 16's realised what they had in store for them, and right from the get go, they knew that they had to intimidate. A later opponent was in the stands, analysing their every move, every mistake and every goal.
The puck hit the ice and the game begins… Chelmsford immediately gains control, of the puck forcing Swindon to chase like dogs chasing a tennis ball. Chelmsford continued to press home their advantage over the less skill full Swindon players, which implemented the first goal being scored. First goal of the game was scored by Nathan Long, with the assistance of Bailey Chittock. The Swindon team wasn't amused. This lead to another goal within 20 seconds... Four more goals were scored before the period ended... Chelmsford: 4, Swindon: 0.
Chelmsford had just five minutes to recharge and prepare for the next phase of attack. Swindon were exhausted, and they were about to be shown who was the better team.
Second period begins. The puck was taken by Chelmsford and forced into the Swindon zone. The pace had calmed since the first period, and Chelmsford's creativity was slightly reduced, luckily this period of relaxed play, and lasted around 20 seconds. This relaxed playing style soon reverted to physical and fast paced gameplay and Chelmsford scored their first goal of the period, scored on the PowerPlay by, Team Captain Bailey Chittock. Six seconds later, Chelmsford scored their second goal of the period, this time scored by Ollie Baldock and assisted by Bailey Chittock. 45 seconds of play and yet another goal scored! The second for Nathan Long, Ollie Baldock and Bailey Chittock gave their assistance. After a succession of goals being scored, disaster!
Swindon snatched our goalie's clean game sheet from him! They scored! After more goals scored by Chelmsford the period ended the score 16-1. The goal scored by Swindon, was not what the team wanted. The Chelmsford lads were out to show what they could achieve; they needed to show their future opponents in the crowds what they were made of, and that slip up didn't give the right messages. Regardless, the teams careered into the third period…
The third period of play... The period began again with Chelmsford dominating the control of the puck, minimising the chances of a second goal being scored against Chelmsford. This domination of the puck allowed the first goal of the final period, to be scored at just one minute and thirty two seconds into the game. It was scored by one of our assistant captains; Ellis Swainsbury, this was his fourth and final goal of the game. In a matter of minutes the gap between Swindon and Chelmsford grew even larger. This time thanks to Jack Johnson, scoring his second goal of the season, from the blue line, this was made possible by the help of Lawrence Reffell and Taylor Ross. Within five minutes, the score continued to mature, this time Taylor Ross was the culprit, this was his third goal of the game. After a progression of a few seconds the penultimate goal was awarded, again, the work of Bailey Chittock! The game was nearing conclusion, the final goal was scored, byRyan Morgan. This brought the total score to 22-1.
The game ends. The result is good for Chelmsford, not so goo for Swindon. After congratulations and commiserations had been passed to both teams, the Chelmsford players left the ice, reflecting on what could have been a very different outcome, had they of released the pressure on Swindon. Although that outcome would have deemed to be impossible, it began to fledge during the second period, as the slight release of pressure gave Swindon their only goal. But the growth was ironed out by the wrath of the dominant team… Chelmsford.
