OSHAWA CITY REIGNS SUPREME

GAME WITH COURTICE SETTLED BY ONE GOAL

RECAP:

OSHAWA CITY vs COURTICE

The battle of the Round Two giants began with Lokomotive fielding just enough players to avoid being defaulted.

Action was non stop from end to end...with each team seeing posts and crossbars.

A brilliant goal by the "dream team" of Curtis and Brad in the second half seemed to light a fire under the league leaders.

But Courtice held strong, kept in check by the wily veteran Keeper Trevor.

On the last play of the game, Captain Anders led a charge, only to come up empty.

The entire game was settled by one goal, to Oshawa.

BOWMANVILLE vs WHITBY

The lads from Whitby seemed a bit deflated without their Captain, who is currently undergoing surgery to repair a tore muscle.

Physicians for Whitby tell us that Captain Robb could be out for almost three weeks!

But the game was virtually even throughout most of the game.

In the last ten minutes, though, Bowmanville, who needed the points to stay in pace with Oshawa, broke it open.

Video Assisted Replay was consulted on the two Green goals, which were allowed by the Official upon closer examination of the evidence.

This game ended 4-2.

COURTICE KEEPS GOING STRONG

OSHAWA AND COURTICE UNBEATEN IN ROUND TWO!

Baron's Football League Update:

Some great games last weekend.

I am continuously impressed by the guys on the pitch!

OSHAWA vs BOWMANVILLE

Here's a classic confrontation between two teams who know each other real well!

The action was tight, and by the end of the first half, there was no real winner in sight.

The second half proved to be the doom of the Greens, though, as they lacked enough subs to continue at their pace.

Lokomotive used their substitutes to wear down their opponents and slip ahead by a goal.

Their second came as Dynamo attempted to tie the game down on a last minute play.

COURTICE vs WHITBY

With their win last week, the lads from Courtice were read to do it again.

Both sides drew many chances in the first half.

Whitby seemed to have the better, with a few going off the uprights!

But scoring didn't start until the second half of the second half.

Courtice broke away and pocketed a nifty shot.

Whitby came back right after the whistle, and tied it up.

It wasn't until the very last play of the game that Courtice went ahead to stay.

COURTICE ASC WINS FIRST MATCH!

TEAM LOOKED SHARP IN SECOND ROUND DEBUT!

Things certainly changed from the start of Round One.

OSHAWA VS WHITBY
Missing a few of their players, Whitby often struggled to wrest control from Lokomotive on the pitch.

There were a few moments of sheer brilliance, though, but the men in Black didn't allow any capitalizations on their mistakes.

Oshawa led the luck category, scoring goals when they really shouldn't have.

But the mid field was all Lokomotive, and with a good amount of subs, shut down Whitby completely, giving Darren a clean sheet.

COURTICE ASC VS BOWMANVILLE
Over the week, a new mid fielder was signed to Courtice, which seemed to energize the lads.

They scored two in the first few minutes, and Green struggled to regain some initiative.

Tray, Stephen and Devon were solid in the offensive mid, stopping concerted plays from Bowmanville.

A late goal by Dynamo stepped up the tempo of the match, but Courtice held on for their first win of the year.

Captain Ander's wife was so shocked at the result, that she went into labour.
Everyone from the Baron's Football League wishes both parents and child all the best in this time of great joy!
