NC brought their A game and bossed the game from the first whistle. With 3 touch hockey and some cheeky 1, 2s NC got several across the goal line.  
 
Sudbury looked good with a counter goal but were unable to get past the strong NC defence to cause concern. NC battled until the final whistle, showed great team spirit and determination throughout. A well deserved win!

FRIENDLY  
VENUE:Dragons 
RESULT: City 3s 1 - 0 Dragons 2s 
 
REPORT: 
 
City started extremely well with good passing from debutant Ben Hawes, Sylvie and Ed and led to a good attack down the right hand side but it unfortunately came to nothing. 
 
City continued to attack with alot of short corners but could never find the back of the net. City continued to play well in the middle and on the right side with tackles from Alvin and Ben. Sam made some good runs on the left and right which led to much more short corners but still City couldn't execute them. 
The first half ended 0-0. 
 
As the second half started there was good passing across the middle by Ed and good dribbling by Fletch and Sylvie which led to more short corners but still City couldn't execute the shorts. But with a quick break and a good ball through Dan was able to slot one past an offset keeper to make it 1-0. But with 3 minutes left Dragons had a drag flick at the top and it forced a good save by George and one off the line by Simon which saved City from a draw and the match ended 1-0 Norwich. 
 
Special mentions for debutants Ben Hawes and Kieran Shapcott who both had excellent games and the more established teenagers Ed Beake (player of the match), Sam Hancock, Oli Millett, Henry Baker and Alvin Muthi
