The Reserves are a way better team than their record shows.
We know. So do the Gunners.

Highlanders Razorbacks match cancelled due to snow on the turf. Looks like we are in tough next week as we play the Reserves. It sounds like they are finding their form and playing well. They gave us a good solid humping last year so it will be nice to see how we match up this time around.

Athletics Aldergrove Premier ppd. due to snow on the Oval.

As big bag said, two different games last night. We have not dominated a team like we did in the first half all season, and very unlucky to have not finished them. 1-0 at the half. Second half they pinned us for 20-25 minutes. Bizarre just could not get out of our end. They equalized pretty early and then could of easily buried us over the next 10 minutes. Lang up 2-1 with about 15 to go, and POCO tied up not long after.

PKS went down to our last shooter. Each goalie made one save and POCO hit post on another.

3-2 ND Lions.....cant say much wasn't there but heard acbc came back from a 2-0 deficit and was all over the lions in the second half. Lions scored with about 15 minutes left then ACBC missed a penalty shot in the last seconds of the game aswell.

ACBC with prolly 70% possession. Ref was clearly on NDFC's side, but with the penalty in in final 5 mins ACBC should have tied it up. It was truely a cracker of a game. hats off to both teams.

Pass me another beer.

wow!! I have never seen a team who had so much possesion spending their time shooting from 35 yards and missing by about 10 yards. I agree ACBC put in a hell of an effort and maybe should have won but poor goalkeeping and a lack of patience around the net lead to the loss.

your right bulljive, they didn't take their chances well enough, and the defender made a poor decision for the penalty to make it 2-0 ND...

That being said they were all over you guys like a rash...you took your chances well, they screwed a few too many wide.

an earned win for ND, just a little lucky as well...

hard luck ACBC

Big difference between Premier and Div 1. Best Div 1 team/players are much better than the worst and many more goals get created, where as in Premier the top team is really not that much better than the bottom, they simply make less mistakes. Sounds like the breakdowns/mistakes cost ACBC and I am sure they will learn from it moving forward.

It has been awhile, other than Aldergroves run last year, that a team has come from 1 to Premier and made a statement right away. Takes time to adjust your group to playing a good team every week, especially now with a 20 team Div 1. I know this is the Cup thread, but relevant to a point.

Just my thoughts in a other wise very quiet/dull thread. Anyone??

Nice win in the first round for Cobras. For those of you wondering, and i know all of you were, my return was a success. Feels about 95%. Although it'll be sore tonight. Nothing some time in the hottub cant fix.

Average game for us today. We had pressure for the first half of the first half and then they took it to us in the second half of the first half. Follow?

Tied at the half.

They took thier home field advantage to us for sure, playing the wind much better than we did.
They had 2 goals called back, one for interfering with our goalie (not sure where) and a second was a hand ball before the finish.

Yellows will hurt us next week as we'll be missing a couple of guys for sure.
Red Bull, I mean, Beaver Buzz, here i come!! Looks like 90 minutes for me.

If i can i'll post some of the game shots i took in the gallery.

Delta Metro 3 Coachmen 0.

First goal in the first half came against the run of play. I think it was their only shot on net. We generated a few chances in the first half but didn't capitalize. Second half I got fouled in the box and a penalty. I took it and shite the bed. This in my opinion cost us the game as we were all over them and with tieing it up we would have progressed. However, they got another goal as we were pressing against the run of play. Then two of our guys out of frustration losing to a lesser team took their second yellows and now we are down to nine men. They scored their third on a breakaway. I take full blame for the loss and it is unfortunate. But life goes on.
