DEA Bedford Over 30

The Bedford Pacers laid a good old-fashioned whooping on a short-handed Danvers squad today. The Pacers gave all the moms out there a nice gift for Mother's Day with a resounding 7-1 win. Bedford held possession from the start. With two less field players, there was a lot of room to play with the ball, and they took advantage. Deco would be the benefactor of the first tally. The play was smartly set up with Marco Koolman's cross to Paul Cleary inside the area. Cleary's nifty footwork, leaving three defenders in his wake, found Deco wide open. He knocked it home for early lead. Jeff Guild would rip home another to make it 2-0 about 10 minutes after. Deco got his second after Marco smartly dummied Jeff Bailey's cross. The route was on. Danvers, a vocal squad that spent much of the day squabbling internally, never really threatened. A couple of forays into the box, but no clear chances. Their internal discontent, which flowed profusely in a smattering of languages, got to be quite comical. The Pacers would get one more before the half when Paul Cleary volleyed home Jeff Guild's great cross to effectively determine the outcome before the half. The second half brought much of the same. Waves and waves of attack flooded the Danvers goal. Danvers keeper must be given credit, coming up with several saves to prevent a possible double-digit defeat. Unfortunately, his defenders didn't help him much, even cutting off Cleary's cross to Deco and pushing home an own-goal. Deco would get his hat trick by receiving and turning a ball in traffic. The sudden space proved fruititous, and his drive was true for a 6-0 lead. John Guild and Paul Cleary got he helpers with great passing. Danvers felt they got back in the game in the final 10 minutes by ruining Chris Cloutier's shutout (and nap) with a header. No matter, John Guild would restore the six-goal when he sent a thrashing drive into the far webbing. Deco and Jon Cloutier would do all the setup. Alot of goals. Nobody appeared to get hurt. Good win. Next match is FRIDAY, MAY 14th IN IPSWICH. LOOK IN YOUR E-MAIL FOR DETAILS.
