Rush Nike 1 - Roanoke 1

On a bright and sunny late November day the Nike Boys took to a muddy and slippery pitch to make up the game with Roanoke. The Roanoke team came out hard and fast. When a free kick was awarded the Roanoke team in the 3rd minute of the game, they sent a ball into the box and past Lally for the first score of the game. Roanoke 1 Nike Boys 0. The Nike Boys got on the score sheet in the 2oth minute when Josh sent a corner kick into the box and found Nick unmarked. Nick headed the ball into the upper right corner of the goal. Nike Boys 1 - Roanoke 1.

The half ended 1-1 and the game ended 1-1. The Nike Boys mounted a furious assault on the Roanoke goal looking for the game winner but it was not meant to be on this day. The Roanoke team played hard and hung in to split the points with the Nike Boys.
This was the final VCCL game of the 2009 Fall season. The Nike Boys had their best showing ever with a record of 4-2-1. It has been an exciting season with some incredible highs (Kickers, Strikers, Sterling FC & Legacy) and some frustrating losses (SOCA, Reston and of course the despised BeachFC).
Congratulations to the U-15 Nike Boys and Coach Warham for a great VCCL season!
