Victory!

875 spectators had come to Fighting Crawfish Arena this cloudy day after stumbling out of the pre-victory party. Fighting had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Denney - Lyon, Cherry, Randolph - Parsons, Woodson, Mikula, Carney, Uddstad - Meldi, Alonso.

ballers started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. They fielded: Hitchcock - Raunkjær, Lindhlius, Niemi - Clinton, Skals, Granheim, Serbãnescu, Lon-Ban - Myrgård, Beach.

In the 3rd minute Rafael Maria Meldi surprised the opponents with a 40 metre pass to Juan Luis Alonso who quite easily could settle the score to 1 - 0. 5 minutes into the game ballers´s Vincent Lindhlius found a gap in the home sides central defense scoring with a long shot, making it 1 - 1. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, ballers´s Eivind Granheim got himself a Crawfish attached to his sack! Rafael Maria Meldi gave his Fighting the lead with 2 - 1, as he successfully challenged both the guests central defenders to a game of checkers, then placed the ball unreachably at the goaltenders right post after getting 3 kings! A penalty in the 31st minute gave the home side a chance at adding to the score, but a drunken Rafael Maria Meldi shot the ball wide, in an effort to put it away in the top corner. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Fighting´s Dan Woodson was able to strip the cheerleader of her shirt. A fine move! The home side´s Juan Luis Alonso came close to extending the lead in the 38:th minute. His shot came in off the right hand side but Keith Hitchcock managed saving with a fingernail. The teams went for a half-time break at 2 - 1. The fortyfive minutes were dominated by Fighting, with an impressive 64 shots of everclear taken on the field!

Visitors Martin Beach was alert on a play coming in from the left, making the score a tie at 2 - 2 in the 50:th minute. Fighting made a bid to take the lead as a ball coming in from the right hand side left Dan Woodson completely alone with keeper Keith Hitchcock, who made a spectacular block. Juan Luis Alonso gave his Fighting the lead with 3 - 2, as he successfully challenged both the guests central defenders to a game of put the Crawfish on the sack, then placed the ball unreachably at the goaltenders right post after easily placing two Crawfish on thier sacks! After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, Fighting´s Lars-Olof "Chris Gaines" Uddstad got himself slapped. He lacked the playmaking skills necassary to get the cheerleaders shirts off. Fighting held the ball, with a clear 73 percent possession rate.

Fighting´s best player was Dan Woodson. Juan Luis Alonso was a disappointment, however. ballers´s best player was Jin Lon-Ban. However, Curtis Clinton made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 2.

Notes

It was a decent game. I have decided that Rafael Maria Meldi will start at forward instead of Matt Scroggins who has struggled as of late.

The Party continues

Rumors are swirling about the appearance of local hero and fan favorite, Hornsmaniac_2 tomorrow. He has been training the boys in playmaking and we are hoping for some cocky and funny results!
