DEA Bedford Masters 2

The Red Heat, AKA the Guilds brothers, each scored a goal to lead DEA to a 2-0 victory over the Ipswich Town FC this past Sunday at Legacy. Johnnie Morin put on the gloves yet another time for DEA and did what he has done for many years, gave DEA another shutout performance in net. It was a beautiful Sunday morning for DEA's first games back at Legacy Park since the renovations. The pitch was in good shape and so were the two DEA teams that would play this day. The first matchup would be DEA's over 30 squad going up against the first place Ipswich team. DEA would triumph 3-2 in the match. Next would be the DEA Masters taking on the Ipswich Town FC in a two town double header. The game would start with both teams sharing time of possession. DEA would start to take control of the game and pin Ipswich in their end. However, DEA could not seem to find the net and the game would linger on 0-0. DEA would have their chances but were off the mark a bit. Ipswich would break through for a good chance, but John Morin would come off his line to snatch the ball from the feet of the striker. Close call for DEA. These are the kind of games that can go bad to worse. DEA had most of the possession but the score still read 0-0 at the half. The second half, DEA would be going into a slight wind. This seemed to help as it would force the ball to feet. DEA would do just that. DEA's Midfield would take over the possession, led by John Valickus and Jim McCall in the middle with Sharby, Crespo and John Guild on the take flanks. About 10 minutes in, Captain Jim McCall would find Jeff Guild open with a pass. Jeff would turn and hammer home the first DEA goal at the new Legacy park. DEA would totally shut down Ipswich now with the solid defense of Rob Easton, Dale, JD, Mark Major, and Mitch Green. They were set on giving Johnnie his shut out. With about 15 minutes to go, once again, Jim McCall would take a through pass and spint towards the goal. He would beat the defender, but his shot was deflected by the keeper across the goal mouth. Three people would swipe at it until it would fall at the feet of Johnnie Guild. John doesn't miss those gimmies and he would put DEA up 2-0. The DEA defense would shut out the rest of the game for the final. A good day for DEA Bedford Soccer at Legacy. Next week, DEA remains at home to take on Groton BC United in the start of the second half of the season. DEA is only one point behind the Irish Village in the standins at this point as the Irish only managed a tie against the Hurricane club. Whats left to do now is just keep winning. GREAT GAME DEA.
