The Cinderella Season for the 2006 edition of the Rowdy Rebels has come full circle.

Tonight on Historic Riggs Field The Rowdy Rebels faced their conference foe Kelly's Krew in the Clemson University Intramural Soccer Championship.

Unlike the first match (3-0 Kellys Krew) tonight's match went scoreless through regulation and two overtime periods. Rowdy Rebels came out ontop 3-2 in PKs.

I have to say..R&R was fortunate to survive regulation and overtime. Kellys Krew had about a 3 to 1 shot ratio advantage..but our keeper Steveo came up HUGE for us on multiple occasions.

R&R wasn't all defense though..we had some excellent chances created by Jonathan Walker and Sean Nolan..and nearly won the game w/ 2 minutes left in regulation with a header from Brian Hill that went just over the crossbar.

PKs

1st Kelly's Krew shooter hit the post
2nd was blocked by our keeper (crucial stop)
3rd & 4th were made
5th put over the crossbar

Personal note: ..my..fitness..is..crap. I'm happy because we won..but depressed because Rigg's kicked my ass. Heh. I'm happy with my play though and am always up for a free shirt. So yeah.. that's it.. it's over. Hope this whole thing has been in some way entertaining for you guys..if not a way for you to waste a few minutes. As for me.. it's been a blast. I love soccer.
