DEA Bedford Masters 2

We started a bit late as the other team managed to get lost on the way to the game, and eve with the extra 15 minutes they only had 7 when we kicked off.  They get a lot of credit though for playing hard despite the numbers and they actually managed to get on the score board first with a PK in the early minutes.  After that we settled down and started to take advantage of our numbers.

The first goal was also our first effective corner of the season.  We need more of these!  Jimmy lofted a ball up to the penalty kick mark and Rick did his best Spud Webb imitation, winning the header for the goal.

Some good passing back and forth, using the extra men well, and another new player landed on the scoreboard as Jimmy fed Mo who got his first goal of the season on a nice strike.  Seeing how happy this made Mo, Scott spoon fed him another ball for the third and final goal of the half.

We opened the second half well with some more good back and forth work, then Brother John hit a cross for a power volley from Jimmy.  It went wide, but was a great effort.  Narrowing in on the target, Jimmy sent his next shot off the post.  Nitin was there for the rebound and it was 4-1.  The other teams wayward players and finally shown up and it was now full squad on full squad, but we had solid control of the game by this point.  Nitin enjoyed his taste of the goal, and took another ball in for a solo goal.

Time to share the wealth and now it was Jeff and Scott who worked the ball down with Scott finishing it off.  That worked well and Jeff again played a through ball behind the defense which was pushing the midline.  This time German made his best sprint of the season, collecting the ball before the defense could get there and feeding it across to a wide open Scott for the finish.

After that we took to ball control to play out the last 5-10 minutes.  Fully grasping the theme, Steve sent one into orbit from the top of the box.  He may not have reached Connecticut, but he got pretty close to the dairy farm anyway.

A good game.  We had the advantage and used it.  I like the scoring trend, next week 8 goals against Pepperell!

GM Note:  Great Work Boys!!!!!  I think we finally got the hang of this scoring thing that we were missing.   Last two games we outscored our opponents 13-2!!!!  We can't lose when we put up numbers like that.  Lets take it to Pepperell now!   GREAT WIN !!!
