1_1vsOldSettler Slideshow A fair result for a fairly even game — though we could have used a bit more luck and a few favourable calls. Their #6, Tommy, had an early break and probably made a few too many moves to deke out our d-men. When he did get a shot away, Kyle was there to dive and block it. Andrew Overbeek got his 5th goal of the season soon after and we had other good close plays. Al was demonstrating how to play aggressively and Daniel Klop was getting up for the headers. Late in the first half, Steve put a ball out off #6's foot, but the ref disagreed. He awarded a corner kick and the ball came down in the box and bounced around for about 9 or 10 touches. It just couldn't be cleared, there were so many bodies in the way. (Next time, let's look for a sideways out.) Finally, one of their guys got a foot on it and nailed it into the net. In the second, we had the wind at our backs. Our best chances were on a set-up to Andrew that was called off-side but was on-side by a couple of yards — and on a free kick by Bruce from about 30 yards out. Bruce got a curve ball off the cross bar, off the back (or head) of the goalie who was on the line — back up to the crossbar, down to the ground... and then it was kicked away by a defender. Had the ref been closer to the line, he may have seen it in. We also pressed in the last minute and Al put one in the box for a few headers that didn't quite connect. Old Settler got us 5-2 and 2-0 last year. We're now undefeated in 3! City and Young Guns played to a 2-2 tie on the other field.

It didn't get me as badly as the one last year. (Kyle says it was heading on-goal, so it was worth it.) P1311779 P1311780 P1311782 Ryan worked hard, but got shut out today. P1311784 P1311786 Not sure how this one stayed out.... P1311790 Yeah, Al! P1311796 Ory: "I didn't do it!" P1311800 I believe this is the jam-up in front of our net, that turned into their goal. Nice sequence, shot by Jeff Holgate.

P1311816 Daniel, giving the hip to an Old Settler. P1311817 P1311819 Andrew, heading down the field. P1311822 P1311827 Our adoring fans! P1311828 Steve, getting whacked from behind. P1311829 P1311834 P1311835 P1311840 P1311848 Steve made a nice rush up the field, ending with an on-side pass to Andrew, which was called off-side. P1311868 Close play by Old Settler.... P1311869 P1311870 P1311871 P1311873 P1311875 Jeff missed the earlier parts of the sequence. This is where Bruce's free kick went off the bar, off the goalie, off the bar, to the ground — then got kicked out. P1311876 P1311877 P1311878 P1311879 P1311880 P1311896 P1311904 Kyle, knocking away a late attempt. P1311908 P1311910 Geoff: tuck your shirt in! P1311916 P1311927 Late chance for us.... P1311928 P1311936 P1311937 P1311939 One of Daniel's many headers. P1311965 P1311967 P1311968 Our last kick at the can....
