Black Cats v FC Swoosh O30 |
O30 News - Black Cats Prevail In Tight Contest
Despite an injured reserve list longer than that of available players the black cats were able to find 11 willing players and was just enough to slip past a wanting swoosh side 1-0. The cats retreated to their a 4-5-1 content to concede possession and look for counter attacking opportunities in the first half and that negative football was unable to produce many attempts on goal of any value by either side. At the half, the cats measured their worth and though outnumbered decided the points were available for the taking, and switched to a more attack orientated formation. The game on the large turf pitch at Rock Creek opened up and the sense from the touchline was that the goal was coming for the black cats it was just a matter of when. Finally a far post corner kick was nodded across the goal mouth to Scott Rice who calmly headed the ball far and wide of the keeper into the back of the net. The end result was a fair one in a match that could have gone either way.

O30 News - Red Army Ambush Kells at the Camastadion To Earn Special Victory
Red Army concluded their fall season with a narrow hard-fought victory over regional-bound '08 Champion Kells. Gerrymandering, bureaucratic malfeasance, incredible spring form of the league's finest and metaphysical wrangling had already rendered the outcome inconsequential perhaps subconsciously demotivating the visitors just a touch.
Rees Bettinger, energized by a fresh elk juice smoothie, ran rampant all evening and opened the scoring with imperious smash and grab on 12 minutes. Very nice. RA approached the match with a gritty uncompromising realism, countering when it mattered, employing both battering ram and arthroscopic knee surgeon's fiber optic laser beam. Against the vaunted Kells attack RA defensive corps were forced to bend, bend, bend and bend some more. With two minutes left in the opening half they broke, Gene Bowman's back heel seemed to right the natural order. AS the hapless squad despondently trudged off at intermission, this once resolute amalgam of has-beens, never-weres and wannabes saw doubt creep into the mist at the onset of dusk. Shut up doubt.
The second half was a dramatic replay of the first with the addition of a fatal plot twist: the Principle of Evil Marksmanship. There was also the clattering of souls and an accusation of pagan deviance. Red Army mirrored their first half goal with one of even greater artistic endeavor. It was a mesmerizing movement of collaborative genius concluded by Sean Davis majestic finish. Fantastic. The rest of the match was bend, bend... more bend... and by the skin of a skinless tooth... no break. Agonizing, bewildering, and mildly entertaining. Be Champions. |

Captain Ankeny v JH Kelly |
O30 News - Captain Ankeny Sink JH Kelly
Played in the pouring rain on a field that held up well enough. The first half was a competitive affair with both team having a fair share of chances. CA scored from a throw in flicked on and finished with a good far post run. JH Kelly created some good chances and drew a penalty when Mason Evans was tackled from behind. Ankeny's players protested long and hard -- perhaps a bit too much. The intrepid referee was steadfast and solemnly adjudicated the aforementioned PK. Greg Webster slotted it into the side netting leaving the keeper rooted in a patch of soaking sinking bog. At intermission the 1-1 scoreline seemed fair enough. In the second half CA ran JH Kelly's midfield and defense ragged, creating and finishing numerous opportunities. A late salvo from JH Kelly saw Mason Evans stinging shot parried into the path of marauding Adam Stockman who made no mistake. JH Kelly's late revival proved fleeting not timely enough to change the wet tide. |
