A rampant USW Lacrosse Men’s 1st cruise to a 6-0 win against Swansea Men’s 2nd in an entertaining encounter at the USW Sports Park.
USW Men’s 1st took a dominant 6 goal victory against a battling Swansea Men’s 2nd at the USW Sport Park in BUCS action. Following a narrow one goal defeat in their last game against Gloucestershire Men’s 1st, USW started quickly with two early goals from captain Dominic Roberts and Joe Lee in the first quarter.
Coming into the second quarter, USW carried on from where they left off in the first with more pressure being put on the Swansea defence with more chances coming from tandem of Roberts and Lee.
In the 25th minute, USW’s Harry Longin picked the ball up after a coming together with the Swansea defender and made a darting run through the middle, firing into the back of the net to make the score 3-0 just before half time.
It didn’t take USW to get their fourth and Longin to get his second soon after the break. Longin caught the ball after a defensive mistake from Swansea and from distance and shot into the bottom of the goal to make the score 4-0 after 35 minutes.
A number of great runs from USW captain Roberts did eventually lead to the next goal. Roberts picked the ball up on the half way line and sprinting past the defenders, with some skilful shoulder drops, found enough space to fire past the keeper for USW’s fifth and his second.
The final quarter saw the home side continue to dominate, with the Swansea players beginning to get frustrated and giving up foul plays.
With five minutes to go, Joe Lee picked the ball up in the Swansea half and after initially looking for a player to pass to, he saw the space to run into instead, which gave him the space he needed to fire in the sixth and final goal for the home side.
