Marlow Men's 1sts were at Pound Lane against Bath Buccaneers in their first match in the Men's Conference West, to which
they earned promotion last season. In front of a large crowd, they started strongly and went ahead within 4 minutes with a goal
by Jayden Zamler, one of several newcomers in the team. Bath were strong and well-drilled and came back strongly but Marlow
held their own and kept their lead until well into the second half when Bath gained more control of the midfield and scored twice.
Marlow threw everything into attack, but Bath were awarded a rather contentious penalty stroke to go 3-1 ahead.
With not long to go, Marlow went into overdrive with another period of constant pressure and earned several penalty corners one
of which was firmly dispatched by Callum White, making a welcome return after two years away. The game ended with Marlow
swarming around the Bath goal, but it ended 3-2 to the visitors.
Despite their loss, Marlow can take a lot of positives from the game and will be at home again on Sunday at 2.45 against
Clifton Robinson from Bristol.

Bath started strongly with Marlow keeper Alys Ramm having to make a save with her glove in the opening five minutes. Marlow had opportunities to attack, in the tenth minute, Jess Rees-Gray and Lottie Porter linked up down the right-hand side and put a lovely pass in to the back post, which Alice Godfrey was millimeters away from converting. Bath took the lead in the twenty-fifth minute and were denied a second minutes later by keeper Ramm.
Lottie found herself with a good chance early in the second half with a breakaway run; however, the Bath defender got an important touch when Porter was striking to deny Marlow an equaliser.Team Bath extended their lead with a strike at a narrow angle in the forty-sixth minute. Marlow did not give up and continued to take attacking chances when they arose; however Team Bath continued to pressure the Marlow defence and scored their third with 5 minutes remaining in the game. A disappointing start for Marlow, but they are determined to bounce back next week when they host Clifton Robinsons 2s at Pound Lane on Saturday at 3 PM.
