SU 4 - 1 FireRangers
I don't want to go into a play by play account of the game but we played a decent game from backline to frontline. Good counter-attacks after some good pressure from Rangers and once again Howeser is clinical. We knocked the ball around well and were able to feed Holmes and Howes with some quality balls and they showed their stuff.
Rangers are a great team and reading too much into this result would be silly. After the three great battles we have had with their squad, a result like this in the fourth match was inevitable.......... for either team. All it takes is for one team to capitalize on their chances and we sure as hell did today. However, we did miss a peno on a great save by Boyle, not to mention a couple of sitters. Rangers scraped the crossbar twice and our own Steve Reed who put in a stellar performance, put a Ranger cross into our own net. "Just wanted to make things interesting"
I will say, we'll take the grass anyday instead of the turf. A big thanks to Crafty and the entire Delta United organization for preparing the fields and being great hosts.
It's great to see our team be so adaptable to different types of games. Gritty to finesse. I guess when you get as old as us you should be able to adapt as you have seen it all.
Congrats to Peace Arch on their win. Well done boys! Good luck to everyone in Provincial Cup play.
