The C-Men finished 22nd/30 in the BCR tables but team discipline or the lack therof were a contributing factor with some untimely suspensions. There first match will be a very tough test. |

We went up 2 - 0 early in this game, the first goal coming off a flick header which our forward brought down with his foot near the penalty spot and then slotted. The second, our right mid got around their outside back then decided he might as well go around the keeper as well - had an empty net to shoot in. Then we started to defend the lead, which was not a good idea, and GN created several chances, eventually earning a pk which they scored on. They added another before half. Our third goal was the nicest one of the game - an own goal by a GN player off of our freekick - a volley into the corner of the net. Ouch!
They outchanced us again in the 2nd half and scored on a partial break.
GN are a pretty good team, well-organized, with no glaring weaknesses. They should do well in this group. It was a good test for us and helped to identify some areas we need to work on, like holding a lead.
By the way, the field (Delview Park) was in great shape. It was worth the drive, especially after playing on pastures all summer in Vancouver.
