LOKOMOTIVE PULLS OUT PERFORMANCE

BLACKS LEAD BY DEVON AND TREVOR TIE OPPONENTS

Trevor is crazy over his second Assist!

It was another tale of different clubs as Energie and Lokomotive made their ways in different manners.

The Greys, overloaded with injuries, were unable to stop the onslaught of last year's runner ups. Brought up from Yellow FC was Baron's friend Nelson, who took over when the score was 5-0 for the bad guys.

{Baron Says}:
Energie needs to focus on the good that came out of this game.
We realized that we needed a Keeper of extraordinary prowess on this day.
Even so, lots of injuries and the tenacity of our opponents spelled certain loss.
Remember, it's never a dishonour to lose against a superior foe.
All you can do is play your best and learn. And this is the best time to pick up experiences that work and don't work.

Lokomotive started off shakey, looking too rested after a week off.
Their challenge was to overcome a 3-1 deficit at the half.
Things looked desperate, but two members of the team stepped up in a big way.
Devon seemed to get re-energized and completed his Hattie before game ends.
Trevor, stuck between the pipes, contributed heavily to the game, assisting on two.

{Baron Says}:
Each game Lokomotive needs to improve their team play.
Little by little each game.
There's no reason why this team can't be in the top three.
I was also very pleased to see the frustration of last week forgiven and players competing in their finest.

TWO TEAMS AND ALMOST SAME RESULT

GREYS ARE TOPPLED WHILE BLACKS EEK OUT TIE 

Baron Looks Pensive!

IN action first, were the men of Lokomotive, looking for their first win of the season.

Things got off to a quick start, with an absolutely brilliant goal by the good guys.

Lokomotive increased the lead to two by half.

Then things fell apart. 

Foregoing any proper subbing, the bad guys bought themselves a shot that dipped just beyond Trevor's fingers.

The madness in subbing continued, and the game was tied with 2 minutes left in the game.

Baron says:

We were in control of the game as long as we made our subs count. But when the shifts lingered, their fresh legs overcame our tired lads and we were lucky that the game was over. They clearly had the initiative and we couldn't do anything with half full half tanked.

Across town for the night game, Energie faced their toughest opponent to date.

Their opponents, last year's "A" Division runner ups were quick to get on the score board. In fact, controlling the game wasn't an issue for them. They kept a running six goal margin even after Energie scored.

Baron says:

Red was clearly superior in all aspects. They controlled the game, and let it be known that they could have run up the score. We can learn a lot from them, and the way they play. But Energie isn't at that level of prowess or team work at this point in time. Who knows in the future?
