04.28.2013 Delta Services 3:2 Green Briar O30's 8:00AM (Whitman HS)
Goal: O'Connor Assist: Bell
Goal: Kearney Assist: O'Connor
An own-goal and a goal that never was! Delta hardly earned their victory but were in fact handed it on a platter by poor GBFC play in the early stages and a shockingly bad refereeing decision which gave them a goal that never was (by their own admission I might add).
On a bright note, Leo and Hannick still have their touch in front of goal, both producing clinical finishes. Java added to his tally on the season with another typically cool finish, slotting home after running onto a nice through ball.

04.28.2013 Green Briar FC 1:2 Albania United 2:00PM (Millennium Park)
Goal: Caldwell Assist: n/a
Having been reduced to 10 men late in the 1st half, and eventually 9 men with 15 minutes remaining, the Green Briar players showed their tremendous spirit in battling for every loose ball and challenge against Albania Utd, being extremely unlucky not to nick an equalizer with minutes to go.
Tom Caldwell scored on a deflected shot early on. As the half came to a close Anthony Arkinson was adjudged to have handled on the line resulting in a penalty and his marching orders. Albania converted to enter the half all square.
Against the wind and with 10 men, the Briar players were under concerted pressure, pressure that eventually told as Albania took the lead. This didn't seem to deter the players and even when Conor Treacy was also shown the line for a classic case of the Red Mist, the players grafted hard and fashioned a few chances before a great chance at the death went unconverted.
A bye week next week for the MSSL side, returning to action on May 12th versus Celtic FC at 1pm in Millennium Park.
