Soham RHC hosted RHC Invicta last night at the Ross Peers Sports Centre in another National Premier League encounter. With Invicta still in search of their first win and Soham eager to maintain their winning start, the game was filled with anticipation.
In the opening five minutes, it was Invicta who took control of the game, applying pressure on Soham and creating several promising opportunities. However, they struggled to convert these chances into goals. Soham, too, had their moments, coming close to scoring and even hitting the post.
Invicta decided to shake things up by introducing Tom Mills to their attack. Despite this change, it was Soham's main man, Scott Neville, who broke the deadlock, giving Soham a 1-0 lead as the first half came to a close.
