On a cold and wet Saturday afternoon it was time for Bromac Kelburne to get the 2nd half of the season underway. Sitting top of the table and with 4 trophies still to play for it was important the team laid down a marker for the remainder of the season.

Prior to the game a minute?s silence was held to pay respect to the late Gerry Ralph, a hugely respected man by Kelburne and wider hockey family.

The game started at a fast pace with Bromac Kelburne creating several chances however failing to break the deadlock. As the pace settled Hillhead began to work their way in to the game causing the Kelburne defence a few problems, thankfully man of the match Fergus Barrows kept them at bay.

Halfway through the first half the deadlock was broken, some scrappy build was finished off coolly by Lee Morton.

The team were given the proverbial rocket from Captain Johnny Christie, a higher level of performance was expected from everyone. The team duely obliged with far better connections, passing and work rate from all of the team.

Bromac Kelburne then began to put more pressure of the Hillhead defence and finally the goals were to follow. The pick of the 2nd half goals was a solo effort from Jack Mackenzie, finished off with a diving reverse stick in to the bottom corner. 6 goals I the 2nd half saw Bromac Kelburne eventually run out comfortable winners.
