Eagles Swoop to Kill

An unfortunate defeat to a good Guilford Black Eagles team was the outcome on Thursday night. A tough first half saw Madison fight for every ball and give as good as they got. Each goal Guilford scored the Celts replied with one of their own...well at least Jorge did. The first half ended 2-2 but with a feeling that Madison could go on to win the match. This feeling became stronger when two great goals pushed the Celts into a 4-2 winning position through the fantastic efforts of Jorge, again, and Halil. Unfortunately, Madison could not hold onto the two goal lead for more than a few seconds when they allowed a cheap equalizer. The game could have gone either way at this point but then disaster struck when Madison contrived to score an own goal to put themselves 5-4 down. Then with only a couple of minutes left on the clock our old friend, the referee blunder, re-appeared to allow a misplaced kickout to be slammed back into the net for their 6th goal on the night. A tough defeat but it could have gone either way until our defense caved. The great play by Carlos and Jorge was the highlight of the game.

Next team up is at 7PM, Field 3, Versus North Branford! See you there
