UrbanHonking AC Wins Coveted Hardware!
Posted by: kmikeym | From: July 24, 2007
Last week, while much of UrbanHonking was scattered to the wind, frolicking about in distant lands, history was being quietly made back in Portland. With much of the team spread over the country, the UrbanHonking AC faced their biggest rival, the Unicorns. With not enough people to even field a team, UrHo AC recruited some younger players (Dillon and Tyler) and placed GK Gene Merrill out as a defender.
The score was 1-1 when Tim Germer came in (better late than never!), giving UrbanHonking two subs! The team put together some nice passes and went up 4-1 before the Unicorns put in a late goal to make it 4-2 at the half.
With few subs, UrHo AC tired in the 2nd half, allowing the Unicorns to get up 5-6 with about two minutes to play. Dillon was on the bench, rested, but everyone was gunning for the tying score so no one subbed! Their persistence paid off when Scott put in the tie goal, and Tim blasted a nice shot to the upper right to put the Boys in Green back in the lead with about 45 seconds left! A little bit of frantic defense followed as the Black Unicorns pushed UHAC around with a corner and some open looks, but they held them off and won the game...
...AND THE RIVALS CUP!
(Thanks to Gene for his coverage of the match!)
