Men’s hockey: Rhyl share honours in an eight-goal thriller

Rhyl’s Andy Ollies receives a pass out wide

Hockey: North West Men’s League Division 5 West (South)

Rhyl & District Hockey Club 4 (Dougie Lonsdale, Edd Jones, Andy Ollies, Xander Whelan-Clark)
Chester 5s 4

Rhyl Mens welcomed Chester 5s for the first home game of the season and played out an 8-goal cracker in what can only be described as a topsy turvy game!

Dougie Lonsdale opened the scoring for the hosts with a well worked goal. Chester then equalised not long after.

Edd Jones got the second goal – his first for the club. Not long after Chester levelled again to make it 2-2.

Andy Ollies scored on the brink of half time with a shot squeezing past the keeper’s legs.

After the break, Rhyl were awarded a short corner. The initial shot was saved by the keeper, but Xander Whelan-Clark was quick onto the rebound, slotting the ball close from range.

However, the visitors managed to remain on terms, bringing it back to 4-4.

The remaining part of the match saw Rhyl keep knocking on the door but the Chester keeper kept them in the game with some good saves.

It was a match played in good spirit.

Rhyl go again this weekend away against Wrexham Glyndwr
