Brussels Bs battle to tie with Palmerston
Tied again!
Brussels B met the Palmerston
team Wed., June 25 at the Palmer
ston field to face off once again.
After many close plays Brussels
managed to hold Palmerston at a 2-
2 score.
Early in the first half of the
game, Brussels dominated the ball.
Strong midfield play came from
Leslie Baillie, who pushed the ball
to the feet of Andrew Exel, who
was playing forward. Keeping the
ball from the Palmerston defenders
Exel made a quick cross in front of
the net to fellow forward Rolf
Frischknecht, who controlled the
ball on his head and then knocked
it into the net.
Palmerston kept up a strong fight
however, and only a few minutes
later managed to work around the
U-8s win again
Monday, June 23 at 7 p.m. in
Howick proved to be an interesting
and excellent soccer game for the
Brussels III U-8s. Both teams were
evenly matched.
With many shots on both nets,
defence players stood their ground,
leaving it 0-0 for the first half.
It was an outstanding perfor
mance by goalkeeper Chelsey
McLellan.
After about five minutes into the
second half Howick I, pulled
forward to score their first goal.
The game became exciting as
parents and coaches cheered on. It
was then that Bradley Hill turned
around taking the ball from his
opponent, scoring Brussels first
goal, tying it 1-1.
The pressure was on. Howick's
defence made a slight error,
allowing Brussels a comer kick.
The ball was placed and Scott
Somerville carefully lined it up and
kicked it high and hard. It
proceeded down the goal line,
forcing Brussels centre, Marty
Goetz, to stop it with his chest. It
then ricocheted off the Howick
goal post entering the net for
Brussels to win the game 2-1.
A fine job tending goal, for the
second half was Shayne Cochrane.
A great game played by all.
Good work team. Everyone
hopes Nicole's shoulder gets better.

Back at Centerfield, the Brussels
forward line moved the ball quickly
up the field. Phil Graber worked
slickly around the Palmerston mid
field line. The pass and go pattern
served them well as Kirk Baillie,
Terry Brown and Frischknecht took
the ball all the way into the
Palmerston goal area. Frischknecht
took a quick shot as the defenders
took attack, but the Palmerston
team could not hold off, and
Brussels took a 2-1 lead.
After a quick half time the teams
' took to the field again.
Frischknecht replaced Adam
Garniss in net. The ball moved
back and forth between teams, no

stormed into Belgrave on June 26
and blew away their hosting Mite

left the Palmerston forward line
pushed the ball past the Brussels
goalie, tying the game at 2-2.
Both teams played strongly,
fighting to see who could get the
goal that would win the game in the
next few minutes, but both teams
