The Rain City VW Cup kicked off this evening with three tight games played between teams from St. John's and Feildians.
The evening began with a battle between U12 Championship Teams FAA (Courage) vs. SJSA (Murphy). Both teams had early chances but FAA was able to capitalize to take an early 1-0 lead on Louis Winter's strike that found the top left corner. Player of the game Nathan Slaney, followed up a short time later to give the Double Blues a two goal lead.
Ronan Chaulk battled for a loose ball and was able to finish under pressure to pull St. John's within a goal mid-way through the second half, but that was as close as the game would get, as Ruben Snook put the game out of reach with a finish off a rebound.
The second game was a U13 matchup between FAA (Parfrey) and a determined St. John's (Strong) team. This one was tight throughout. Both teams had chances but neither could get the go ahead goal. The highlight of the game came late in the second half when FAA keeper Roland Kelly made a great stop on a penalty shot to preserve the 0-0 draw.
The night concluded with two familiar foes facing off once again! SJSA U13 PYL Team were looking to continue their winning ways against FAA U13 PYL (Chitsike). An early goal by Zackary Nwokedi put FAA ahead and they would soon jump out to a 2-0 lead. Myles Burgess' goal sparked a second half comeback and SJSA battled to earn a 2-2 draw.
The tournament takes a two day break before starting again in the New Year. Games start bright and early on January 2nd! #drivethedream #chasethecup
