VA RUSH NIKE v FC Richmond

VA Rush Nike - 1
FC Richmond - 0

After two weeks off due to weather conditions, the Nike Boys took to the pitch on a windy and overcast day to take on the FC Richmond side. The wind was a real factor against the Nike Boys in the first half. With the wind blowing stiffly in their faces the Nike Boys pressed on and created a few good chances that came up a bit short. A great save by Lally, who returned from injury this week, keep the score 0-0
at the half.



In the second half the wind began to calm and the two teams continued to push for the first goal of the game. Early in the second half Brian played a ball that Wes ran onto. A hard shot by Wes sent the ball past the keeper and into the far corner of the net. 1-0, Nike Boys.




FC Richmond continued to push forward looking for the equalizer but to no avail. The Nike Boys held on and got back into the winning column with a 1-0 victory.
The Nike Boys return to action next weekend with a double header make up weekend. The Legacy come to the Hampton Roads Complex and the Nike Boys travel to Richmond to finish the season against Roanoke.

Dad will enjoy this clip when he gets home tonight. Was hoping to see the save(s) by Lally (aka: Vicious Cobra from Narnia or VCN) Can you add it?
