Cucuy Wins Waterbattle

Cucuy FC - Jolly Rogers FU 4:1 (1:1)

Playing in somewhat irregular conditions, we had to wrestle this one from Jolly Rogers.  Although throughout the game we were the better team in my view, they held us to a 1:1 at half time. Cary had put us 1:0 ahead after a sweet pass from the left (was that Hintzki?) and a shot in the lower right corner.  Cary had a similar shot just a few minutes earlier from closer distance, which the keeper was able to save miraculously. Then CNate tried his luck from almost the same place, but the ball stopped dead in his tracks in the middle of  a puddle, with CNate surfing right past it.  Cory in goal was not very busy, and there wasn't anything he could do about the one shot that went passed him.

Second half we got a little more confident with our passing game, and Karol scored the 2:1. Jolly Rogers had two huge chances but were not able to score. Soon later Karol scored his second, after a series of passes back and forth, really nice. At that point, Jolly Rogers pretty much gave up and we had a whole bunch of chances. I scored the final goal after a deflected shot from Cary.  The game was pretty fair overall with the exception of Beacon-of-Sportsmanship-Nick, who took people out left and right, thanks to some traction issues. Big thanks to Cory and Arno for the refreshments after the game!
