We jumped out to a quick 1 - 0 lead when Wade chipped the ball over the goalie who came out to challenge him. No panic and a beautiful touch by Wade is how I would describe it. We then made it 2 - 0 when Erin sent a perfect corner kick into the middle of the 18 yard box where yours truly was standing and put it in on a one timer (off of Sean's shin pad). Sean was the only person who could have stopped that ball. They then made it 2 - 1 after a turnover from one of our throw ins. It wasnt pretty. I felt bad because I missed an easy header from a great throw in by Darryl. Terry was in net and got a piece of it as did Waldo I think, but there was not much anyone could do about it at that point. Terry played great in net for his first game this year as goalie. Our defence was outstanding again as usual. I sure wouldn't want to go against Hacksaw Jim, Wily Waldo, Speedy Dale, or Dave the Bull.
We then made it 3 - 1 (sort of). The ball was bouncing all over the place when Erin kicked the ball in off the post. However, it did not count becasue the ref felt it did not cross the line. I was right there and I saw it go in. The goalie was behind the goal line when he hit it out. Not to worry though because Simes made it 3 - 1 for real when he positioned himself perfectly against the defenders. He made a sweet move and put it in. Brent named Simes Player of the Game. The mid was awesome. Darrell, Sean, Wade, Erin, and Vinh kept feeding the ball to me and Simes the whole first half, which ended up 3 - 1 for the good guys.
We made some solid subs in the second half when Joe, Vince, Roy and Dave came in. We struggled a bit in the mid part of the second half and that is when they made it 3 - 2. A laser beam came in and Terry made a solid save.
It would have been difficult for anyone to hold on to that ball and unfortuantetly they got the rebound and put it in. Terry "Red Card" Maryk got a little upset with some of the players on the other team in the second half. But like a true professional, he regained his composure and played solid for the remainder of the game. Subs came in throughout the second half and we finished strong defensively with some offensive chances as well. I thought Joe moved the ball great. Jim and Sean were able to play the whole game and looked great doing it.
Anyways, it was good team victory and one the Captain would have been proud of.
Nothing but positive Missile attitude was out there.
