The Sport Club 40+ fell to the Chaldean Arsenal 4 to 1.  The pitch seemed bigger then normal, especially after playing our last three games at home.  As they say, Size does matter, and the Sport Club used this to their advantage working the outside and sending in some nice crosses.  Unfortunately, we were unable to connect with the net.  Joe Arwady was finally able to put one in on some inside pressure.  The game turned a little aggressive, no nasty, as the Chaldeans stepped up their attacks.  We had great pressure on the inside stopping the Chaldeans from controlling the ball.  We on the other hand had to many missed shots.  The score at the break was 1 to 1.  The Sportsters continued to do well in the second half.  However, Dave Fleischer re-injured his ham string leaving us with zero subs.  Shortly after that, Basil Badawi received a red card on a controversial call.  With a man down and no subs, the defense let down their guard and the Chaldeans were able to score.  Shaun Hegarty, was a tremendous help with his energy and English foot work.  Helmut Thielemann played in the goal and did a great job with many stopped shots.  Everyone hustled and worked hard making it a tough loss.
