MATCH SUMMARY: (vs. Redland)
We won the match 3-2 with goals from Jim 2 and an own goal - that I believe we said we'd give to Dilwyn. In what is becoming our anthem for the season, we had moments of cohesive play, but on the whole didn't play as well as we could have - this goes for everyone. We need to utilize our wings more, as with Hellenic, our wings were wide open most of the time but we only seemed to use periodically. This was another one of those annoying matches were our touch was off often, however, the two goals we did score were gorgeous......goal one was a run up the wing by me, a sharp cross to the penalty spot, a step over by Marat for Jim to drive into the the lower corner. The second goal was essentially a solo effort by Jim, who almost ripped a hole in the back of the net. The only other observation is an obvious one, we made plenty of opportunities but were putting them wide. If we put in even half of our attempts, the score would have easily been 7-2.

NEXT WEEK:
Next week's opponent now gets elevated to the status of toughest match of the season thus far, looking to hold their undefeated record. If you recall, this team has a few decent players (the bald defensive guy for one), but otherwise bring nothing special to the pitch. New guys, make sure you either get directions to this field from the league website or call Jeff.

PICK-UP:
Don't forget, pick-up footie in front of Hershey Medical Center at 6pm on Wednesdays.
