Friday Game Day

Today was a rainy day. We were not sure we would get to play this afternoon. The boys spent the day relaxing and getting ready for the match. By 4:00 PM it was still raining steady but they decided to go ahead with the match. We played a squad of Estudientes 93s. The field was very wet, muddy, and altogether slippery as ice. We played really well but eventually fell 2-1 after leading 1-0 at the half. Our 3 goalkeepers played brilliantly with Federico Bertele the pick of the bunch. Each keeper played 1/3 of the game. Jeff Bone played well in the second period, and Jordan Crown finished off with 3 outstanding saves including 1 penalty save. The Estudientes coaches were very impressed with the improvement in the team performance from Wednesdays game. The keepers however stole the show. All in all the boys showed tremendous spirit and significant improvement to what was a very entertaining match. Tomorrow we will be treated to a send off Argentinian barbeque before heading off to Buenos Aires for the afternoon and then the airport for the trip home. All the boys wish they could stay longer (Coaches too!) :)
