2to2VsKenRoc

KenRoc struck early on us, after a corner kick. Then we came right back. Al poked a ball up through the middle and Steve (playing forward) took it in for the tying goal. Soon after, Zane took the ball across the box and his shot rebounded to Jeff, who scored.

In the second half, there were kids in the bush yelling at Kyle to "Play a real f'ing game!" Nice kids!

KenRoc tied it in the second half and we went to shoot-out. At that point, KenRoc were already into the final vs Young Guns — though they had no wheels left.
In the shoot-out, Al scored for us. Darren was narrowly tip-saved by Kris and Steve hit the crossbar. Zane shot it straight at Kris and Daniel Klop missed to his lower left. They had 2 in, so won on kicks.

Fred Fandrich of Valley Helicopters was there for the game.

Young Guns went on to beat KenRoc 3-1 in the "who can still move" final.

Thanks again to all who made it out on Friday and Saturday — and to Kris for his organizing and field lining.

him up front earlier in the season.)

Steve hits the cross bar and Kris gives up on it,
though it went almost straight up.
With a bit more spin or wind, it could have come down and in.

Close miss to Kris's right post.
A slight redirection
and it would have been tough to save.
2-1 edge for KenRoc on kicks.

This could be known as Emery's
home field, as she was born
2 days after the "blizzard" game.
