VCCL 2009 - Beach FC

VA Rush Nike - 0
Beach FC - 1

We stopped...they didn't!

That was essentially the story of this game. In the latest installment of the rivalry between Beach FC and VA Rush, the Nike Boys played a hard fought contest...for 89 minutes. In the 60th minute of the game Tristan went to the ground injured as Beach FC was attacking our goal. The Referee went to see if he was hurt, but never blew his whistle. Our boys stopped for a second and Beach FC pounced on the opportunity to put the ball in the net. Beach FC 1 Nike Boys 0...game over.
The final score did nothing to detract from a wonderful game in goal by Kerby. Filling in for the injured Lally, Kerby had a great game stopping everything that Beach FC could send his way. He had a little help in the first half from the post and cross bar but in the second half he stood alone on the goal line as Beach FC stepped up to take a penalty kick. The Beach FC player sent the ball to the left and a diving Kerby knocked the ball away. A great save and at that time preserved the 0-0 scoreline.




One more shot at Beach FC next week in the Columbus Day Tournament. We are due...don't you think?
