Fire Frustrated By Mainland's Goalie

The Fire traveled from snowy Florence to sunny, windy and cold Linwood (Margate) NJ to play the Mainland United SC.   It was a game of missed opportunities for the Fire, and they faced a hot goalie in the second half.  Time after time Mainland's goalie came up big making at least four tremendous saves to keep the Fire off of the score board.  While the Fire were knocking on the door on numerous occasions the Mainland team countered quickly to score 2 goals including a 35 yard shot that floated high into the Fire's goal that pretty much took the drive out of the Fire attack.

On a sunny breezy day in Florence, the Fire played a hard fought game to walk away with 3 - 0 victory over the Hurricanes.  The first half was 0 - 0, but the Fire woke up in the second half putting constant pressure on the Hurricanes.  Greg scored early off of an assist by Ron who threw in the ball to Greg who hit a half volley shot in the corner of the goal.  Heath followed with two beautiful goals assisted by Ron, Kendrell and Shawn.  These were Heath's first goals in travel soccer...way to go!  Zack played well in goal to record the shut out.

Fire Play Inconsistent

The yo-yo season for the Fire continues.  On a cool overcast day the Fire travelled to Cherry Hill to take on the FC Thunder.  It was also a day that the Fire team wore black wrist bands in honor of Zack's mom, Terry, who recently passed away.  In fact, Zack played in the game as well.  You would think that this would inspire them to play good, hard soccer through out.  Unfortunately, the Fire played inconsistent.  They had their chances but constantly missed on numerous scoring opportunities, and the Thunder did enough to post a victory.  Ron scored the Fire lone goal assisted by Zack and Greg.
