Bury and Herne Bay United the top two premier league teams battled for the first time this season at the Ross Peers Sports Centre in Soham. Bury started there match with a poor defence conseeding two goals early on. HBU maintained a constant pressure but Bury pulled back ending the first half 4-4.

The second half was end to end with Brendan Barker “on fire and currently looking like the best player in England ” said Darrel Pearce. This match could have gone either way so we are looking forward to the return match at the Pier in Herne Bay on Saturday 12th May.
Bury 6 – 6 HBU

Debbie and myself recently visited the area of Asturias dropping in on Ian Morrison in Oviedo host of the 2008 Senior European Championships.

Ian currently plays for “Oviedo Booling Club” one of the many roller hockey teams who play in the town.

I photographed two of Ian’s matches, the first was Oviedo Booling v Biesca Gijón H.C. on Thursday evening in the 5,000 seat rink. At the end of this bullish match Booling were victorious with a final score of 7 – 3.

Saturdays match was more of a struggle for Booling missing a well deserved draw in a rink built half way up a mountain on the perimeter of Oviedo. The final score was 3 – 2 to current league leaders Centro Asturiano “A” placing Booling 6th in the league.
See the pictures of the two matches.
