It was seventh heaven for 麻豆社国产United last weekend.
The Howe Sound Men Soccer league team made it seven wins in a row when they bowled over the West Van Royals with a 4-0 victory. The kick off took place on Saturday, Oct. 18, in Ambleside. After United controlled most of the play in the first half, Jag 鈥楶ractice Squad鈥� Sangha made a break through on the score sheet. In a last minute play Gary O鈥橬eil was about to deliver the ball to Sangha resulting in the 1-0 on the boards.
In the second half, O鈥橬eil continued to make a habit of setting up his teammates. This time Russell Adams was at the other end of a sweet pass. Fifty-five minutes into the game the score sat at 2-0, giving United some breathing room.
聽But Adams wasn鈥檛 satisfied. With 29 minutes remaining in the game, Adams fired a cross to Jeremy Galley. Not to be showed up by Adams fancy footwork, Galley hit the cross on the volley sending the ball on a date with the back of the Royal鈥檚 net. The score jumped to 3-0.
Before the final whistle blew, Fabrizio Luzio cracked a hot shot 25 yards out from the goal. The ball deflected off a Royal鈥檚 head ending up where it seemed to be all day 鈥� in between the West Van team鈥檚 goal posts.
