storm hold on to secure third win of the PISA campaign

We always seem to be hopelessly outnumbered at PISA.  We started the game with one sub, then Harry came scooting in and we had two.  But then Mark took an elbow to the eye and we were back down to one.  The report on Mark is that he is fine.  May have a little bit of a shiner. 

I really like the passing and running into space.  It's exciting soccer!  The boys took an early lead with Jack Chaillet getting the first score.

But our boys got TIRED in the second half.  Our opponents from north of town started to catch up . . . but we kept scoring goals and won 7-5 at the end.

Tamir had a great game.  He really gets after the ball.  He has a last second dart to get a foot on it while the opponent is making his plans about where to pass.  Tamir had fantastic sliding strike on the ball for a goal.  And it was his birthday!  even better.

Chad gets the award for "most creative use of wall."  Twice he blasted the ball hard off the back wall as a way to clear.  Very smart.
