This should be a competitive division. For the Horses, we hope to come out of the starting gate a little faster than last year and get more than 4 points in our first 6 matches.
Horses over Wolves
Croatia over Norvan
Originals/Lomas TIE
KLM over East Side
Bombastic/VUFC TIE
Horses tie Wolve at 2 Not a very exciting game - obvious that it was 1st game of season Kudos to Wolves goalie who stopped a PK with 5 to go to preserve the tie.
Lots of rust out there! We were not sharp at all as we couldn't connect like we normally do and kept giving the ball away which led to Bombastic counters. The fitness in the last 20-30 minutes was comical as it was a hot one on Trillium.
Bombastic beat the Horses tonight 1 to 0. Horses had a majority of the play but could not finish. Bombastic are quality guys and can have a dressing room at ambleside anytime!!!! Horses have 1 point in first two games. Need to right the ship next week against the Lomas and get a win.
Not looking good for your predictions this week Eagles Congrats on the win.
VUFC 1 - 0 Croatia
Not really a close game. Could have been very lopsided by halftime but we couldn't finish. Croatia w only one sub I think and we had too many. Ref blew the game at 80 mins as a Croatian player went down w a bad injury. Dislocated hip maybe? Hope he's ok, boys!
Big Westside derby next Friday night. BBQ will be rockin'!
Whatever the league decides we are good with and we hope your player is ok. The ref pulled the card based on the injury and not the tackle which is really disappointing to us and to our player involved in the tackle. Our player left the field of play out of respect to the injured player.
As for the last 10 minutes - the ref said that the league normally considers the game 'complete' if after the 70 minute mark. If the league decides differently we are happy to finish it off.
