The Men's 1st XI made their return to top flight regional hockey today with a hard fought defeat against a well organised Bath side.

Thanks to Towers for this week's match report:

Swindon started incredibly well, Tom Wickens winning a short corner in the first few minutes. The ball was moved right to Captain Tom Goldsmith, who fired low for Phil Scarisbrick to deflect beyond the keeper. Swindon failed to capitalise on their early dominance though, conceding some sloppy goals. James Lewis made a fantastic challenge late in the 1st half which was greeted with a hard blow from the umpire, a flick and a yellow card. Luckily Alan "The Cat" Gough rolled back the years and kept the ball out.

The second half started with Swindon back up to 11 but 3-1 down. The boys were industrious and worked hard but struggled against a full squad of 16. 3-1 became 4-1, before Scarisbrick finished the scoring with his and Swindon's second of the game.
