Just Another Defeat!

Well, it was yet another defeat.... but we played much better as a team against really tough opposition, the Guilford Eagles. Last time out they destroyed us 8-4 but this game was always within our grasp. A very strong start to the game, with Johnaldo up front pestering the opposition defence line, allowed the Celts to hassle the Eagles in their own half. For the first ten minutes Madison looked the stronger team with the Eagles making lots of mistakes. But, yet again, a defensive error allowed their first shot on goal to go into the net. Johnaldo pulled one back before they scored again and then Tano equalized. But after this first twenty minutes of good, well matched play the Celts allowed some carelessness to creep into their game and lost two stupid goals just before the half. The second half didn't start much better and another two quick goals put the Celts 6-2 down and cruising for a bruising. However, some smart, fast passing and two quick two goals by Halil brought the team right back into the game and then another goal by Ruggero got the Celts to within one goal of the Eagles. But any thoughts of a glorious comeback were dashed when the Guilford aces slotted another goal into the net and ran the game down to the end. So, the first session of indoor ended with yet another defeat but nowhere near as bad as previous defeats. Maybe the team is starting to get their soccer legs back? They will certainly need them because the second session starts next Thursday!
