There are three games to go to win the BCs
Sounds like you were the problem for your loss Stoned Wall. Rumor has it that the first goal was from 40 yards out? You had problems with a 40 yard shot? Then an own goal after you and your defender have a nightmare? Might want to take a look at yourself before you say the River goalie is bad. And what your report states is that you guys can't score and have a tough time against the counter attack...Oh well you guys have the summer to get a new keeper and work on some stuff.
Welcome to TTP grantsreef! Which i assume is near Powell River?
I have to admit i agree. StonedWall and his defense have had many a nightmare this season.
Bus wreck dude? Come on, now you're just getting carried away. But i agree, the protest papers that may fall from the sky may be heavy with Columbus' tears from the loss, so please grantsreef, keep your head up.
PS: report from the 4 guys who could make practice last night, a nasty bug has spread through the team this weekend and most-if not all- are in critical condition in the hospital.
Here's hoping for a miraculous recovery before Saturday.
Powell River United O35 Soccer club began its provincial cup run at home on Sunday under sunny blue skies in the first round of play versus North Delta SC Rangers.
The game started with the Rangers having a definite advantage with possession during the first 10 minutes. United gained composure and play evened out as both squads defended well with hard tackles and tight defensive play.
It remained even for most of the half until player/coach Tony Leach received the ball out on the right midfield and noticed the Rangers keeper far out of his net. Leach buried his head and hammered a ball from 40 yards to beat the floundering goalie and give United a 1-0 lead. This seemed to give United a bit of a boost as it took play to the visitors for the remainder of the half but was unable to get another one past the keeper......
They have the Internet in Power River? Who knew!
Stonewalled Freak hop??? That thing was going wide until your legs went all riverdance and ended up "paddling" it in to your own net. The second goal was down to the 6th sense you seem to have with your defender, your 6th sense being a complete lack of coordination and positioning. As for the third goal the only thing questionable about the penalty was whether our winger still had any vital signs after the challenge. Oh and you complain about the field too...Oh dear it's getting desperate now isn't it? Maybe you haven't played on grass in a while, so sorry to spring that on you, but you make it sound like we were playing on an inflatable kids bouncer, get a grip (pun very much intended), the field was good. Shame you couldn't of shown a little more humility as you seemed like real nice guys. Maybe we'll be beaten in the next round, maybe not. But I tell you win or lose we'll have our heads held high.
