LEAGUE ROUND 22 - IS IT DESTINY?
Pistol Rovers 0-1 July Fourth
July Fourth League CHAMP20NS!!!
Pistol Rovers 123.7 Hexagon - July Fourth 4-4-1-1 first 30 minutes then 3N-4-1-2, then 4-3W-1-1 2nd half
It's getting more tense as the games go by and this one was very close, Papaleo, Beckett and Petersen all had chances blocked as Kusama putting one wide, Beckett gave away a free kick and got a yellow card, Verly da Silva took it and Knight made a good save, Then on a counter attack Kusama ran with the ball and got 1v1 with the keeper and took it round him to tap it in for the important goal to give us the lead but we were without drama as Beckett made another late challenge and that saw him get another yellow card which we all know what that equals... RED. July Fourth had to play with the entire 2nd half 1-0 up and to fend off an attacking Pistol Rovers side, We did create an early chance in the 2nd half that could of killed the game off after Pietropaolo beat the defender and squared off for Petersen who put it wide, Pinto for Pistol Rovers was next to have a shot blocked from us and the pressure was on... July Fourth were failing to take chances and Pistol had a couple of late chances to level Hdjock was blocked by Ramirez, Hardy tackled Morais Amorin and Villavicencio's shot was blocked by Hogan and soon the referee blew the final whistle that keeps our perfect season alive.... CHAMP20NS!!!

Team Talk: We rode our luck again today and that was a real struggle to see this one over the line, but it was another tricky game out of the way, tomorrow we face very active "priprema" who's manager is surely going to watch the game. We have to play better than this and take our chances.
