Black and Blue Game- Cobras FC Boys U17

This year's event consisted of a team build on Veterans vs a team with a combination of some returning Kids and a bunch New Kids. The Vets started out with a bang by putting away the first goal. The New Kids were getting their feet wet and looked disorganized and unpolished the first 20 minutes. The Vets showed some class scoring two additional goals and took a commanding 3-0 lead. The New Kids saw some light scoring their first goal of the game with just under five minutes left in the half, but a quick response by the Vets ended the half at 4-1.

Not sure what was said at the coaches halftime speech, but the New Kids came out fire up with lightning under their feet. Goal's starting coming in quickly one right after another for the New Kids one, two, three to tie the game at 4-4. The game became really intense as players began getting physical on the ball. The Vets began to press hard, but the defense would not bend. The keepers on both sides made some great saves to keep both units in the game. Finally the New Kids put the game away scoring two quick goals with ten minutes left. Overall great first scrimmage between the boys. Good sportsmanship and bonding filtered the air at the end of the competition, and the chemistry became apparent throughout the entire squad. Excitement and preparation for the 2013 season are underway and the team is set for another successful run.
