Racer X - 0 Bloodhounds 0

With a chill and a light sprinkle in the air it's game time again and it's verse a familiar foe, The Bloodhounds. They are one of the elite teams in the league, anchored by a solid defense, a quick off sides trap and a solid mid field. Their only weakness is lack of speed in their attacking front.

Racer X is short 2 of it's best offensive players, Zach and Carlos, so it'll be a hard game to win. The game starts off with no real possession for either squad. A chance falls for Racer X as the Bloodhounds play a sloppy ball towards their own goal, releasing Chris on the fast break. He gets the shot off but the ball is parried over by the keeper. The rest of the half sees the ball on much Racer X's side of the pitch, but solid defense, great goal keeping and poor shooting keep the game 0-0 at half.

Undeterred, Racer X starts the 2nd half with more passion and conviction. Although they are not winning the ball in the air, they are marking better and even putting together some passes from the back. One such possession finds Tico with the ball at the 18 but he decides to do the Fat Joe lean back and puts the ball over the cross bar.

The Bloodhounds get a few more chances, the best of which is a shot from the left side by their talented midfielder, but the shot is fisted away by Mark. The Game ends 0-0 with both teams in good spirits over a hard fought match.

Men of the Match are both Marks for outstanding play in Mid Field and Keep.
