Race beats BVB 2 - 0 in a hard fought match
Sunday, oct 12. What a gorgeous day!
We played BVB at Palumbo today (our first game at the “home” field). The Drinkers showed up in numbers while we just squeaked in with 11.
This was a close game and the drinkers are a tough team. They controlled the first half but just could not connect. We had a solid back line and constant probes from the forwards while the midfield organized itself. Dave Petit filled in for goal and easily handled the few shots that came his way. In the bottom third of the half, Dave punted a long ball to the drinker’s end that took a good bounce and was volleyed past Condi the keeper by newly assigned striker, Julian “freight train” Hinson (fresh off the waiting list). At the half, the Racers were up 1 - 0.
Second half saw determined attacks by the drinkers but our midfield had found their legs and fought for control of the middle. Shortly after the drinkers switched out Condi from goal (to press the attack), Race striker Francesco controlled a ball on the drinker’s 18 and deftly placed his shot in the back of net. 2 - 0, Race. We then had to fight off the drinker’s final press to clinch the win.
Thanks to Ricky for reffing, and BVB for a spirited game.

follow up report: Julian Hinson managed to score and throw up in the same game. I think he may be the first BVFC player to manage both in 90 minutes.
