DEA Bedford Masters 2

The DEA Bedford Masters have up their record to 8-0-1 to put them at the top of their division with one makeup game to play. The latest win comes at the hands of Weston. DEA posted a decisive 7-3 victory last night under the lights of Sportsmans field in a prime time game that was carried by both ESPN2 and the FOX network. DEA started out strong even though they had their smallest squad show up so far. With only one sub at the start of the game, Bedford jumped to a 1-0 lead 5 minutes in as George Wegricht would finish off a nice pass from Johnnie Valickus. This goal would be George's first of three on the night with an assist to boot. Minutes later, Stan would pair up with Jeff Guild for DEA's second tally. Bedford was off to the races. Jim McCall would get in on the action, knowing that he had to leave at halftime to play that stupid game where your try to throw a ball into a small hoop on a pole... George would collect the assist and DEA was up 3-0. About midway through the first half, George would get together with John Valickus again for DEA's 4th goal. It was looking like a romp at this point but Weston would wake up. A long feed to the Weston striker would catch Jim Goddard wandering a little too far from his cage. Jim would make the initial save but the rebound was netted by the second Weston striker. The play leveled at this point until about 10 minutes left in the half. First Stan would get another nice cross from Jeff Guild and deposit it in the back of the Weston net. Weston would answer right back with another goal off a shot and a rebound. Just before the half, George would be tripped inside the Weston area and would be awarded a PK. George would beat the keeper to the right and DEA was up 6-2 at the half. Jim McCall and John Morin would depart for their Basketball game....(I am sure there is something in their DEA contracts that prohibit this).... and DEA was down to no subs. The GM had to leave for a DEA indoor game also.... but not before leaving the beer with Jeff G.. The second half would certainly slow down on the scoring side of things. Weston would net their third goal of the match. I am not sure how as I had left. I am sure it had to do with Goddard being way out of position... DEA would score their 7th and final goal as Dan Roberge would finish off Jeff Guild's third assist on the night. The ball must have been passed around after that and I am sure there was great excitement. There were kids knocking down trees up the hill and yelling and screaming. Anyway... the final whistle would blow and the peasants would all rejoice. Great Win. This sets up a showdown between DEA and Lynnfield for the division Championship on Thursday night. DEA needs only to tie to win the Division Championship and move up to D6. DEA will be looking for the win. Depending the outcome of this game, will determine the location of the Semifinal Playoff game with the south divisions. If DEA wins or ties Lynnfield they will have home field advantage and play the Southern Division Runner UP. If they loose they would travel to the Cape to take on the Marion team out of Fairhaven, MA. GREAT WIN DEA, and I hope that someone turned out the lights...sorry for the spotty details of the second half... I wasn't there.....
