The grass was groomed beautifully but wet for the game against Anchor Bay Anchors who were cruising through the 3rd division and sitting in 4th place with a 5-2 record. SC 24 ‘A’ team were bottom feeders of the 3rd division with a 1-1-4 record and needing a win badly to stay in the division, as a matter of fact they need to win the remaining games to stay in the 3rd division. The game started off with even play for the most part, it was easy to see why Anchor Bay had 5 wins. They had many skilled players, but SC 24 played equally to Anchor bay’s skill. Daniel Santos found his way past the Anchors defense and put in the 1st goal for SC. Anchor bay responded later in the second half with a play down the wing then to the middle for the goal. Game was tied 1-1 getting close to half time. The assault of Mike Fabbri in the box a few times did not find a whistle from the referee but the hand ball from one Anchor defensemen did. A penalty shot was called and Dave Fleischer stepped up and put the ball into the lower corner for a 2-1 lead at half time. The second half started with the Anchors stepping up play but SC 24 stepped higher and shut down run after run with equal or better attacks on the Anchors goal. The Anchors drove down and took a lobbing cross that was headed into SC 24’s goal to tie it at 2-2. The Clubbers seemed to flow today as Mike Fabbri found an out of position goalie and touched the ball over his head into the far corner for a 3-2 lead. The passing by both teams were a sight to see, as a give and go from Daniel to Rolando then back to Daniel in the penalty box, but taken down was Daniel. Another penalty shot and Dave Fleischer putting an 8 year streak of not missing a penalty shot on the line, the whistle blew and the score was 4-2. The last goal of the game was a mad scramble in front of the Anchors net and Mike Fabbri found his rebound and sent it home for the final score 5-2. Manager Chris Stockman was out of town but would have been very happy with the result of this very well played game. That's how the game went. Sort of. The entire team played a fantastic game today, what a great win.
