The
second half started similar to the first, and this time it would bear
fruit. Once again it would be Aidan Tomlin who would be the scorer.
The Marauders were moving the ball around well and eventually put it to
Aidan's feet where he made his patented chip over a defenseman and
goalie.
The game was not over and it fell into a back and
forth affair. Hanover seemed to do well in the midfield, but KUA had a
good counter, and managed to earn a point. They capitalized in a
slightly confusing situation after a free kick. KUA got into the box
where the ball wasn't immediately cleared, and a KUA player got a shot
off into the side netting.
Hanover would continue to attack
and more chances would be created with Matt Fenner and Max Patyk-Finkel
on a run and near collision with the goalie. It was not to be though
as the sun set and time ran out to the shivering players on both the
field and bench.
It was a game that didn't break
Hanover's way, but there was definitely solid play throughout. Aidan
Tomlin's goal and midfield play elicited respect from both benches
alike, and Finn Seville really stepped up not only playing tough
defense, but also showed composure with the ball and consistently making
on-point passes throughout the game. Eli Cowie also has started to
take to the position of holding midfielder, both with his understanding
of the position as well as his usual zeal for the game.
Only a couple days left till the annual Cardigan game, and the weather
looks good for the final match. Let's hope it's a good one. The team will have a short practice on the HHS turf right after school on Friday, and then watch their Senior Class teammates be honored at 4:00 along with the Seniors from the Varsity. Kickoff for the Varisity game with Londonderry is at 4:00.
The team will leave for Cardigan at 11:15 on Saturday, wearing white uniforms. Players are asked to bring non-perishable food items for the Cardigan Food Drive.
