Greetings and Salutations, faithful ,fans! Would you
believe We done gone and won another game??? ! ! Yup, we
won 2-1. Dy -no -mite!! ''We played the first round, of the 3rd
Division Cup competition and since we were defending our
"charnpeenship"., it was appropriate and gratifying to come
up smelling like roses.. (well, almost like roses... with a touch
of stinkweed thrown in! ! )
We -played the Portuguese "B's in London and you'll
never believe this; ' but it was strikingly similar to last
week's game! This team was good, but hot-tempered and
edgy and United Was pushed very close to the limits of their
patience before the day was. out. The first half of the match
wasn't too thrilling in terms of skillful play, but for "high-
jinks and shenanigans" it was "verrry interesting"!
Goderich United played fairly and 'squarely, but they were
pretty uncoordinated and sloppy,in this 45 minutes. ,
The Portuguese team tried to take advantage of this, but
fortunately (for us) they were over -eager and over -psyched
and consequently, they didn't gain' any ground whatsoever.
So, . the beginning half of the game was over (and we'd all
, ged 5 years!) with no score for either -side. This didn't
h arten our guys but served to make them edgy and more
nervous and so they entered the last half gritting their teeth!
Both teams .really laid on the heavy artillery and there
was bound to be fireworks., (Dy -no -mite again!) United was
utting more polish into their act and they gave the goalie a

was dwindling away, they put all their efforts and played
better soccer in the last 20 minutes than in the preceeding 70
minutes. P, •
The opposition got a little "heavy" with us and the referee
awarded us a penalty kick. We were exhilarated; this was
our chance to take- cdntrot of the game! No such luck,
though. The shot was saved by the Portuguese goalie and
'United was left feelinga little glum: ,
But we're never down for long and no sooner had we tried

repeated shots on the net before Brian's, but they just didn't
click. Soccer :s part skill, part reflex and part chancf!
Luckily, it was our chance and we lucked out!
We continued to maintain control 'of the ball down the
