A fantastic effort. From Tare, who, once again, was dominant in goal for us to the vets who set the tone right from the kickoff by getting stuck in all over the field to the U16 play-ups who continue to prove their worth. This result means that we no longer need help to finish in the top two - it's totally in our hands - which is all we wanted.

The night had a number of hilites ..... TJ's breakaway goal was Gretzky-like as he deked their keeper and patiently out waited him before finishing ..... the rocket that Julius threw his solar plexus in front of had everyone wincing - and Tare madly applauding ...... Rodrigo's bullets, resulting in 2 goals (and robbed of a hat trick because he shot it too bloody hard for the officials to see it) had some of the vets in my face asking why he doesn't play the point on the PP ...... Ramsay's shadowing job on Reyes was clinical (and there was nothing he could do about the goal) and admiring young Chris Genee's composure and defending ability.

Ingo's opening goal was a result of new shinguard's - no I'm not joking! The PK was perfect and the PP 1 for 2. We're working the breakouts better and it's starting to look like we know what we are doing on corners! The signs are encouraging.

Practice goes 8:30 - 10pm Sunday 3916 - 56th Ave at the Foothills Academy for those interested.  

2-1 the final on a frustrating night for a Darts team trying to find their pre-xmas break form. From the KO Darts went at a depleted Centro squad who were missing their two leading scorers, all without much success! Breakdowns, cocking up set plays, loosing 50/50 tackles you name it Darts did it!

With the scoreboard showing 0-0 at the half and Centro's keeper the villain having kicked out two or three certain goals. The halftime talk and notion to spread the field was finally achieved eight minutes in to the second half, with leading scorer Alex Campos finishing a nice three way play for Darts.

Darts should have been able to have built on the lead but got themselves shot in the foot by being assessed a yellow for a dubious hand ball infraction. The resulting PK saw Centro even the count despite a solid defensive display and keeper Goran's heroics. Still unable to set up set plays and finish golden chances as the final minutes were played at a desperate pace with Centro holding everybody back while Darts buzzed around.

Fortunately for Darts cooler heads began to prevail with James Warshawski potting the winner with a couple of minutes to go much to everyone's relief on the bench. For the second game in a row Darts dogged a bullet, but they stay top of the heap and still undefeated. Darts Spurs next game isn't until Jan 30th when high flying Chinooks come calling.
