Bermuda Hogges 1
Real Maryland Monarchs 0

Seven points from six matches – Hogges would have taken that at the start of the season.
Obviously we would have hoped for more than one point from our double-header against Wilmington Hammerheads last weekend, but should we beat Real Maryland Monarchs tonight then we would jump to joint-second in the table. That should be all the motivation our players need.
