Results

NIFA 3 – 1 CPR Reserves

This was a hard fought game played in seering 94 degree heat and included  a 7 foot norweign striker! Due to some last minute cancellations (Steve, Gonzo and Hakan) the team started with 10 players and played a strong 1st half in difficult conditions. The opposition handled the heat well and went ahead after some keeper errors in the 2nd half. Brendan scored  after some good work from Rich and ilija but the game drifted into a loss as NIFA finished the stronger of the 2 sides.

Goals – Brendan

NIFA 4 – 5 CPR

This was a hard fought battle that included a hatrick from Ilija and 2 late goals from Rich. The Guzijan brothers turned up late and players like Jan, Ferd, Scott and Charlie played an important role by playing most of this game as well! Ilija had a brilliant game and scored a screamer for the 3rd with his proud parents watching (fathers day!). The heat almost was our undoing but Rich showed his class with some fine finishing proving the decider between the teams.

Goals: Ilijax3, Rich x2
