This should have been an easy victory for the team but fate was against them on this day and they had to settle for a scoreless tie. The mid-day heat and a two week layoff took Its toll on St. Columban and they played substandard soccer. Late in the game, frustration set in and two players were ejected from die game within aspan often min- utes. The nine guys on the field finished the game with class and were able to preserve at least one point for the visitors. An excellent game and some monumental saves by St. Columban keeper, Jason Dietz, sweetened the final score a bit as a Toss to Exeter would have been more than hard to swallow. St. Columban would play again in Exeter on Tuesday, July 12 but this time would be against the much more skilled, Exeter Fury. Because this was a cup game, any tie would have to be broken and this game proved to be one of the most excit- ing games in the team's short his- tory. The score opened mid -way through the first half when some good ball control by Joe Murray enabkd him to put a cross to the centre of the net. A head ball by Brian Melady was stopped by the keeper but Melady hopped on his own rebound and put the ball into the net, making it 1-0 for the good guys. Exeter would tie the game with a few minutes left in the first half when they caught St. Columban's defence sleeping on a freekick. The first half ended in a 1-1 tie. St. Columban came out hard in the second half and -carried most of the play. Twenty minutes in, John Jordan made no mistake by putting a hard shot off of the post and behind the Exeter keeper. St. Columban would be unable to hold on to the lead and gave up a poor goal with some sloppy passing. see Soccer, back page
