Parker's Piece saw the meeting of a huge Homerton turn-out and a 6-man HomeGrown team, but the Homertonians knew that they were still a force to be reckoned with. The game begun with HomeGrown on the offence and they quickly took advantage and pulled ahead, proving this was going to be no easy match. The next point, with Homerton receiving the disc meant that HomeGrown were down to only 5 players, to the Homerton 7. Homerton then managed to equalise quickly, and bring the opposition back into attack.
A regular pattern seemed to emerge in the point scoring, with a 6-man HomeGrown bypassing the Homerton defence followed by a full Homerton team swamping a 5 player opposition. At 5-5, both teams realised that a break in the scoring was going to be key to the winning of this match and both sides had great attempt at doing so. This crucial point saw great throws and defending from both teams until HomeGrown's speedy passing meant the Homerton cup was beaten and the break was scored.
Half time was reached at 7-5, and with the clock at 45 minutes, the game was open for the taking for both teams. A revitalised Homerton team went back out for the remainder of the game with an effective cup and many chances to break back to draw the score level, but HomeGrown's skill and speed proved to much with the cap being reached at 9-11.
Every match against HomeGrown proves to be an epic one and this was no exception. With the scoreline also getting closer and closer every match, they had better watch out for the Homerton team next time we meet!
