Father's Day Massacre

The Saint James Missile battled the Crew in front of 33 screaming fanatics. These fans were looking for a hot performance and one that would move the Missile back into contention.

This games started with Captain Kev going to lose the toss. It would be the only loss they would feel today.

The game started with a good pace in the 38C weather (with the humidex) and all players were giving it there all. The Missile had not scored first in their first 3 games and this was there main goal today. On a free kick over 35 feet away, Clay received a great pass which he hammered into the top shelf past the Franco keeper. 1-0 Missile. The Missile then used sound D by Jim, Dale, and Wade to move the rock to the mids who were moving it on to Davey and Kev who were created time , space, and opportunity.

Vince placed a great shot in the far top shelf and made the score 2-0. The fans were loving it chanting "Howie, Howie, Howie." Howie thanked his Dad for making this possible, and the under armor.

With 10 minutes left in the half, Clay hit a great corner to Kev, who headed it to Wade in the 10 yard box. Wade then perfectly rocked a header into...The top shelf again. The Crew goalie kept cursing in French no one cared. Not even his Dad.

At the half, Coaches Terry, Brent, and Josh mentioned that we were playing good but that we needed to finish more of our opportunities.

The talk, and 5 subs must have helped. V, Sean, and Erin made immediate impacts with the hustle and Daryl almost put one away. Don came up with a save, and the fort was held down nicely.

With 20 minutes left, Dave K was sent in from Erin all alone on a breakaway and he finished it wonderfully past the second stringer. 4-0. Subs came in a Roy nicely finished a goal on a set play (?!?!?) and Erin took out a Crew player to send Kev in who passed over to V for his first of many this campaign.

Vic Router says " Make the final Missile 6, Crew 0.

Great game and early in the season, if there ever was a must win, this was it. The Missile will now celebrate and start to prepare for Hanover. They are a Big talented team from Steinbach and season ticket holders should be in for a great match Wednesday at Sturgeon Creek. Maybe it will be lined and Brent won't need to get in his evening work out.
