DEA Bedford Over 30

Like the Sox, the Pacers are perfect on the road this season. Yesterdays pasting of Billerica, 4-0, gave the Pacers their second shutout in as many games on the road. The win puts the Pacers in second place, just behind Danvers,who have only played the three last place teams. The game started out slow and cautious as Bedford would try and get used to the short field at Ackerson Park. The Pacers played solid defense and were not going to let the Rovers score first. We all remember the humiliating loss the Pacers suffered two seasons ago on this same field. Play would be back and forth throughout the first half, although the Pacers were definately in control of the play. Through 45 minutes there was no score and the Pacers would regroup for a second half siege. Early on in the second half Jeff Guild would find himself on a break away. As he turned to shoot he would be taken down inside the box and the Pacers would be awarded a PK. The Pacers looked around nervously to see who would take the kick. All remembering the two missed PK's at the Lowell outing. Brother John Guild (Jeff's brother not the churches) would step up to the stripe and hammer on into the upper right corner. With the 1-0 lead, the Pacers would turn up the offensive heat. Scott Sharby would get on the board next for the Pacers, taking a Bertie O'Gorman pass and depositing it into back netting. Bedford was totally in control now. Movement off of the ball was key to spreading the Rovers out. Bertie O'Gorman would show some of his speed off, as he would beat a defender and the keeper. John Guild would be credited with the assist. Play would get a little chippy and Louie would get a yellow(bad boy). Mild mannered, Rob Easton would provide strength up the middle. He would have some words with a Rover but would not get any cards today. The Pacer defense would protect their keeper, Chris Cloutier, and he would only be tested once during the game. Chris made an awesome save, diving to his left and protecting his second shut out. Jeff Guild would provide the final nail as he took a pass from Brother John to finish the scoring and the game at 4-0. GOOD ROAD WIN. The Pacers remain on the road for next weeks game. They will travel to Lower Shawsheen Field in Andover, MA to take on the Andover Green team. The game is slated to start at 10:30 AM so the team will be meeting at the EXIT 3 park and ride at 9:30 AM.
