Fury whipped in what could be its last ever game
. EXETER — It didn't eve,
end on a positive note
In what may be its last
game ever, the Exeter Fury
soccer_team were pum- •
mailed 7--0 at home on Sun- -
day by the London Olym-
pics. • - .
On top of playing 44 tai-
. ented
ai-
ented squad, the Fury were
'playing a mart short. The. Fury
defenders tried to keep the
opposition out of the box to
. iimit scoring chances but the
Olympics managed 10 con-
vert when they were giveri .
an opportunity. -
Despite the score, Fury de-
fenders Ryan Herr), Greg
Lamport and Jason McFaIIs
played strong games- Lam-
port, playing only his second
game of the season, cori-
sistently turned the op-.
ponents away with his ex:
perienced positional play •
while Herri cleaned'up any
loose balls that found their
way into the penalty area.
- Keeper -Craig, Winbow...
played a fine game but had
no chance on roost, of the
goals yvhich came from in
close.
The FLry had few offensive
chanCes, the best of which
come when Pete McAllister
used his -great speed to
break down -the wing_and
fire a shot that just missed
the net on the far side
The Fury finished the sea-
son•in sixth place in the West-`
- ern Ontario Soccer League's
Division III. •
McFalls, the team organiz-
er, said this may be the last
game played in the Fury's six
year- history unless someone
else steps up to help run the
team: McFalls consistently
found it tough to get
• enough players out io
games, especially early on
this season.
