Ten minutes into the match Beth McBride played the ball out wide to Meredith James who crossed the ball across the goal area where Olivia 
Kramer sent it hom with a decicive 1-timer. Although it turned out to be the only goal of the match, Thunder continued to create scoring chances through out and carried play the full match.

North Macomb Fireballs 0 - RSSC Thunder 0
A big thank you to Dan & Marie Cook for your generous donation of our gorgeous new sideline banner. (somebody remind me to get a picture next match!)
The Cooks are the owners & proprietors of Cook’s Signs Plus, 46711 Van Dyke Ave, Shelby Township, MI 48317 (just south of 21 Mile Rd.). Dan can be reached during business hours at 586-254-7000, or at cookssignsplus@sbcglobal.net. Lightning’93 have already made inquiries into having a new banner made for their team – and we encourage all of you to do the same!
Thanks again, Dan & Marie.
Thunder, here are maps to our matches this weekend.
SATURDAY:
Saturday we travel to Crystal Fields in Romeo. Crystal Fields are on the north side of 33 Mile Rd. about a mile east of M-53. Laura Zarski has given us a heads-up regarding construction. 33 Mile Rd. is closed at Van Dyke. Take 32 Mile Rd. past Van Dyke and M-53 Bypass to Powell Rd. Then left at Powell, go to 33 Mile Rd., then left again. The fields are about ¼ mile west of Powell. Field time is 1:15, match time is 2:00.
PLEASE NOTE: this is a different location than we played Fireballs last year! If you just rely on you memory of last years match, you'll find yourself 10 miles off course.
And we'd miss you.
SUNDAY: Sunday we will play at Flint Carman-Ainsworth High School, 1300 North Linden Road, Flint, Michigan. Take I-75 north to the M-21/ CORUNNA RD. exit- exit #118- toward OWOSSO; Turn RIGHT onto CORUNNA RD./ MI-21 and go about 1½ mile; Turn right on LINDEN RD. go about 1½ mile; Carman-Ainsworth H.S. will be on your right. Field time is 11:15; Match time is 12:00 noon. Carmen-Ainsworth is about 45 miles from Adams, and an estimated 55 minute drive. Please plan accordingly. The Finet's will be arriving around 10:45-11:00 and setting up a tailgate like they did at the Global Tournament. Coffee, juice, bagels, doughnuts, etc. (no brats or stuff like that - after all, it's not a Bears game) EVEREYBODY IS WELCOME!!! Team parents, siblings, grandmas, grandpas, supporters, fans... everybody. So come early and relax a bit, have a refreshment & visit with each other. The company is great and the coffee is hot. It's a much nicer way to make the trip than just rushing to barely get there on time, run straight to the field and then just turn around & hit the road afterwards. Check your e-mail for details.

.BLUE WATER’S STILLED; Thunder defeat Lakers

RSSC Thunder 1 – Blue Water Lakers 0
Thunder are on a roll. Sunday Thunder’90 played to a 1-0 victory over Blue Water Lakers out of Marine City. In contrast to Saturdays very tight match, today’s match featured more wide open play, more ball movement and more opportunities at goal (also more counter-attacks... yikes!).
The one that counted though, came in the 13th minute when Olivia Kramer got a step on her defender from the right flank, took the ball in to goal and sent a strong shot toward far post. The shot glanced off a defenders leg in a failed attempt to clear, and with the keeper now leaning to the far post area, the ball deflected to near post and in for goal.
More excellent scoring opportunities were created over the course of the match, but none converted. Meanwhile, Jessica Munson and Emily Liles were both called upon to come up with big saves in their turn, and combined for the shutout.
By the end of the match, the sun had set and a full moon had climbed up over the tree-line. Thunder fought to the very end and in the end, came up with a well earned victory.
This capped an excellent weekend of soccer for the Thunder’90 team. Two excellent showings against two quality opponents and, happily, two very nice results to show for the effort. Next weekend we hit the road to face North Macomb Fireballs on Saturday and Flint Steelers Hurricanes on Sunday.
This week we train hard to prepare. Show up ready to work.
Well done Thunder. Keep up the great work and keep your focus.
