Deflection from the left post:

Players set up as shown in the diagram. The ball is pushed out to the stopper at the top of the circle, who then proceeds to stop the ball and roll it into the circle. The striker then looks like they are going to shoot before hitting the ball to the left hand post for the injector to score.

Set Pieces

Double Move left then cross to far post:

Players line up as shown in the diagram. The ball is pushed out to the top of the circle for the striker (Blue 3) to dummy over the top of the ball. The stopper then passes the ball to the left to Blue 5 who then passes to the injector who has made a lead in towards the goal before coming out to receive the ball.

The injector then passes the ball to Blue 6 on the far post to deflect the ball in.
