Ram Big Horn 4 - Racer X 5

The first payoff game finds us again on turf at Genesse Upper. It's a perfect night for a kick around against our old foes Ram Big Horn.

Racer X takes the lead early on a poor back pass by a Ram defender. With a burst of speed Mark is able to get onto the end of the misplaced ball putting it past the keeper. The Big Hornys tie it up minutes later when Ref decides not to whistle offsides against 3 players. The fast break goal makes it one - one.

Tico gives us the lead again on a pass/shot from Chris but the joy of the lead is short lived as the Ram Striker blasts a powerful arcing shot into the far net. The 1/2 ends 2-2.

The 2nd half sees Ram Big Horn take the lead on what could be considered the header of the year. A corner ball is swung in near post which the Big Horn Striker meets near post and directs perfectly into the corner.

Randy is able to pull us even off a perfect pass from Mark. The shot hits the keeper hands but finds it's way to the back of the net. Racer X then takes the lead off a throw in the is headed from Randy to Chris to Marks feet and into the back of the net. With 10 minutes left it looks like Racer X's game to lose.

With 2 minutes left Racer X gets caught with not enough guys back and the game is now even again. But as time expires Racer X makes one more push. Lances works the ball from the left side of the field to the right where he finds Chris wide open. He takes 2 touches and strikes....Game over.

Racer X is now in position to win the League Title.

Imperial Prints 4 - Racer X 3

Our only game on sand also turned out to be the worst officiated game of the season. I'm the first guy to say that being a Ref isn't easy and we should cut them a break but this dude was way too wistle happy.

It was a back and forth game that saw both teams take the lead. Carlos got 2 goals and David added another in the loosing effort. The difference in the game came on a late corner that bouced off Greg's Jimmy Hat and into the goal. Not the best end to the regular season but that's the way the balls bounce sometimes.
