I heard the match was more than spirited, supposedly there was an all out brawl that required the police. Anyone got details?




It was a very spirited match. Hammond played very, very well but simply could not create enough scoring opportunities.

Green Acres, you heard the grossly-hyperbolic version of events. A single Hammond player momentarily lost his composure after the match and "jumped" a Pinewood player. The officials and coaches did a great job preventing "an all out brawl." There was no law enforcement involvement nor was there need for any. The Hammond player was red-carded for his post-match conduct. He did appear sincere in his contrition when he apologized to Pinewood coaches before boarding the Hammond bus. He's a very talented player who let his frustration over a tough loss get the better of him.
