First defeat this season. At least I got a full house so my debt came down.

The following players had been chosen: Statton - Hall, Hunter, Brons - Loftus, Gorman, Olague, MacEachin, Martin - Murray, Magallanes.
Rockets tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. The following players had been chosen: Vollan - Clancy, Adams, Wyss - Beneitez, Falconer, Murray, Suárez, Milheiro - Coleman, Wozniak.
Rochford were mostly trying to use the flanks for their attacks. Rockets seemed to prefer attacking in the middle. In the 3rd minute cheers broke out as José Magallanes found his way through the guests central defense line, clipping the 1 - 0 goal in for Rochford. José Magallanes of Rochford received a yellow card in the 17:th minute for unsportsmanlike behaviour. The visitors didn´t give in and after 19 minutes Joe Falconer got through the home sides central line of defense, rolling in the levelling goal to make it 1 - 1. 29 minutes into the game Ross Clancy was a hair´s breadth away from giving Rockets the lead. A prompt block by Mitch Statton saved the home team that time. After 33 minutes Rochford´s Lawrence Hall contracted a slight foot injury, but could finish the game. Wesley Coleman came close to putting the visiting team one up in the 36:th minute, following a solo raid down the middle, but Mitch Statton managed to tip the ball to a corner. Rockets had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation was down to poor. The teams went for a half-time break at 1 - 1. Rockets held the ball, with a clear 53 percent possession rate.
Rockets -coach had an extra briefing during the break, and after that his players had passable organisation. Some beautiful plays on the left side of the field resulted in a 48:th minute goal by Irving Murray for Rochford, putting them ahead 2 - 1. Gonzalo Beneitez was dominating his wing and kept sending fine balls into the enemy box - Timo Wozniak managed to kick one of them into 2 - 2 in the 55:th minute. A mistake by the home sides central defence in the 71st minute allowed Gabriel Suárez to score 2 - 3 for Rockets. Rockets´s Joe Falconer made it through the home teams defence in the 71st minute, and had only to place the ball in an unguarded goal when the home side´s defender sprang up from the left, clearing the ball on the line. Rockets had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation was down to passable. After 76 minutes of game time Timo Wozniak received an excellent opportunity to add to the visitors lead, clipping a volley hooked in from the right, but Mitch Statton was in the right place, tipping the ball to a corner. Wesley Coleman increased the visitors lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 2 - 4. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Rockets´s Wesley Coleman got himself booked.

The most dominating Rochford player was without a doubt Somerled MacEachin. However, Irving Murray made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Rockets player was without a doubt Ross Clancy. Tibúrcio Milheiro was a disappointment, however. The match ends 2 - 4.
