*HH=Hat Trick Hero - to be honest, it IS a self-appointed title
The MCAMSL Tournament Final Match was a battle of epic proportions. Three referees were required to officiate the match. There was some small difficulty in getting to start the match on time since the Amici players needed to acquaint themselves with one another.
The game was evenly matched: First Wasps would take the ball to the attacking third and then Amici would take the ball to THEIR attacking third. Until about 20 minutes into the game, Ben Letson exploded up the right middle drawing defenders to him before getting a cross off that led to Joe scoring the first and best goal of the game.
Unfortunately, later in the first half, the referee mistook good tight marking in the Wasp defensive area for a foul when an Amici player fell which led to the Amici's first goal off of a direct kick.
This unfortunate event was balanced by the referee awarding a penalty kick to the Wasps when an Amici player slapped the ball away from Tony in the penalty area robbing Tony of a goal. Ben took the penalty kick and despite the referee requiring Ben to set the ball in a small ditch, he nontheless buried the PK in the back of the net.
It was around this time that Amici took Rich out giving him a concussion.
Amici had a run of unbelievably good luck when it scored three goals in about 5 minute.
We'll get them next year!!!
