Game 2 - AFC Strikers (6) - CRC Evans (6)

It was the story of 2 games (played at once) and 12 goals.

First half was Strikers 5 to CRC Evans 0.

• Jaik had a hat trick (scored 3 goals in one match), 1st of this season and the 2nd game where a Striker had a hat trick.
• Ryan had 2 goals. 
• Micky had 1 goal.
• Kenny had golden hands of magnetism in the first half and kept the defense solid.
• Abigail and Kristen are turning out to be the Dynamic Duo of Defense (when not chatting :) ).
• Katherine had some tremendous defensive midfield play and provided some good stopping action on the opponents.
• James played hard out there and got a few bumps to prove it.
• Marilyn got in and hustled for a few minutes to help some of the others team mates get a break.
• Kelvin, still with the number 8 of Stinton (we did this to confuse the opponents, nope, new shirt wasn't in yet) came in a little late but got into the mix and helped his team out.
• I moved some players around to even out the game and for players to have game-experience in various positions.

Half-time notes.

• The Strikers were proud of their efforts on the field in the first half.
• Coming off of the field at half-time, some of the Strikers were over-confident thinking the results would be 18-0 at the end of the game.
• The game was progressing nicely, however, the opponents were starting to find their groove and looked like it would be a different second half.

The Second Half was much different that the first.

• Final score was 6 to 6
• Having limited subs was a major factor in the match.
