And here we go, at The Cage, the nations #1 team, Irmo, vs the nations #5 team, Cardinal Newman! With only one loss between the two teams, this should be great!
11 minutes in and Irmo gets a great opportunity, but the Cards keeper sets it up over the bar for a corner which gives Irmo another shot with the same result. Great match, with Irmo leading in the shot column 4-0.
Wow, after some ruckus in the goal mouth during an Irmo throw in, the cards keeper finds himself on the ground in a melee, but somehow comes up with the ball. A Cardinal defender takes exception to the fact that there was no whistle and the official doesn't seem to like what he has to say and shows him the yellow. 20 minutes in and scoreless.
And there we go, on a long throw for Irmo, Connor Dunbaker hits one in after a previous shot was blocked in the goal mouth. 28th minute, Irmo 1-0 Cardinal Newman
With 4 minutes left in the half, Nestor Jaramillo finds the streaking foot of Koty Millard but the ball ends up in the side of the net, the wrong side. But great opportunity.
Taking a look around here, it seems there really is no extra room in the stands. I'll bet BC didn't see this many people in the stands for the whole football season combined!
