The Spitfires A-Team ventured up to Bisley today for their opening fixtures of the InlineGB season.  With three new experienced signings this season (Bradley Wallis, Matt Cleary, Michele Rossi) combined with the old guard, expectations were high.  On the menu today were the Dunstable Gators and South Wales Sharks.  It probably took a period of hockey to calm the new look Spitfires in to their routine but the opposition were soon chasing ghosts with the Spitfires retaining most of the possession in both games.  Michele made a big impact in the first game with four goals and Bradley proved too much to handle on numerous ocassions in both games.  Dominic Lion was solid in defence and once he'd adjusted his sights he picked up a hattrick in the second game.  Ryan Burgess created serious confusion with those silky hands of his and Adam Wood was generally shit, I mean, played with his usual determination and enthusiasm.  Even the old guy picked up three points!  Man of the Matches should probably go to both Matt on his debut, not just for his five points, but for his relentless terrier-like performance and very nice top shelf slapper over the goalie's shoulder and by no means least Branden Mittra in goal for two very solid and consistent performances with goals mostly conceded from 'defensive misjudgements'.  Final winning scores 7-5 (Dunstable Gators) and 7-4 (South Wales Sharks) which could so easily have been far greater margins.
