[the 5th back]

C-men played a friendly against the Green Devils Sunday. We wanted to shake some rust off from the layoff and they also had some new guys that they wanted to evaluate. First half was fairly even with us giving them two gifts on bad give aways, but we also were able to score one on a nice build up of 4-5 passes and a good finish-a rare occurence for us. Second half was all GDs as they started playing possession, stringing lots of passes together, and creating many scoring chances. I hope that at least some of the younger guys on our team picked up some pointers from their style of play. Though the scoreline was lopsided it was still a good run for us. We'll be in tough for a while as we still have 3/4 of our midfield serving suspensions-hope to have it sorted out by cup time. Good luck to the Green Devils the rest of the way.
