Championship game vs Cup was a winner! A quick recap... It was a hard fought battle the refs were in charge of the game pretty quickly. We had played them in the fall and they tied us even though though one of their players got ejected with a red card, we had a few injured players that game too but we knew they weren't intimidated by us. They also have three kids well over six foot. Their main scorer was a very athletic tall and fast black kid, Issac, who they send often to the box and he can score from anywhere. We did a great job possessing the ball the first half and they had a few runs at us, nothing serious. We could not finish balls which we all knew was nerves but also gave us horrible flash backs of last year's regional final where we could not score anything even in double overtime and not even one PK scored last year! Our first goal came when Tristan took a run to the goal and at about the 8 yard line he got taken down from behind. Bradley scored the Pk easily to the right side. In the second half CUP turned up the heat with several shots on goal. Numerous fouls were called and eventually a few yellows were called. CUP scored on a textbook cross where once again our defenders were not running on the goal, but bodies standing everywhere and they ran up one the goal for a backside score. Wil had a few saves that gave us some spark but we knew nothing was easy. 1-1 battle until almost the last minute of the game when after a few strikes the goal ended up making a save and then we hit the rebound in the goal and their defender kicked it out BUT he was inside the goal and the linesman called it a goal! About a minute later the whistle was blown and we won 2-1
