Rose Tree FC

Well what can I say. What a game last night. It was all set up. The oldest team in the leaguw vs the youngest team, Sun Valley High School. To add pain, we found out late yesterday that Kevin out with pneumonia and Tor possible broken foot from the night before at Rocket Sports. The young bucks looked at us and felt pretty good. Easy one. So they thought. We made some tactical changes, Calamity played goal, and we had our own secret weapon, Mr.Cropper. We also decided to play real disciplined as we knew we could not run and gun. At points we played a 3-1, yes they are smiling in Italy. With many fans at our side, the teams before us stuck around as they wanted these young bucks to lose, we turned it to a GAME. We played patient and packed it in. They could not counter very well and it was apparent that they had no patience. thanks to Cropper and JR we held a modest 2-1 lead at halftime. It should of been larger but they goalie was outstanding. The second half was more of the same, we went back and forth and with less than 8 it was 3-2 us. However one of their players even though he was marked real tight by O'Neill makes this awesome shot and 3-3. Less than 2 to go. they press and a shot re-directs of Rooney's foot and does not give Calamity enough time to react and Goal, game set match. This was the second goal they got of a re-direct as their first one went of Ben's foot. After the game, they gave us kudos as we gave them the best game. Our fans gave us a standing O. It was real tough. If either Kevin or Tor were there we would of won. We are starting to feel more comfortable playing Futsal and it's showing. By far Calamity and Cropper led us as they were the stars!!!!! great job guys, keep in mind we all make the playoffs so let's keep working to get this right and the most right time.....
