Event: ROC - Night-O & Sprint
 

Sprint at Webster Park. Went out a bit too fast to start. Bobbled #3 since I didn't look at the map closely enough and approached from a bad direction. Considered going directly at #6 but decided to approach from the safe route. Ditto w/ #7.

Headed W at start, across bridge to field and #114. Attempted to cut through open woods to 115 but ended up off course - didn't search too long and went directly on to #113 and #112, originally wanted to hit #116 and do a big loop around the outer edge but dropped that strategy.

From #112 went roughly over to SW corner of Park. Decided to skip #124 and #110 to save time even though I was not far from either one. #121 I think was on the wrong knoll but found it anyway. Headed back up to #106, and was running across the causeway (not really a bridge, but rather slightly higher ground on the N end of the swamp), hit a root and fell flat on my face, and noticed the flag right off the edge of the path - I was originally heading to the trail junction suggested by the circle location and got lucky. (Twice so - I didn't bruise anything more than my ego when I tripped over the root). Stayed on main trails at that point back to the lodge under time.

Final route:

102-101-114-113-112-111-121-122-123-106-105-104-103-Finish, no penalty

ROC Sprint - Webster Park - Splits

Last game of the season, vs. Churchville. Played cenral midfield.

First half we played on our heels the whole time, trying to keep up with the play. Churchville had a couple good opportunities and couldn't put anything away. Eastside had some decent midfield play but virtually no pressure on goal. Churchville struck first, with a poorly defended corner kick headed into the goal from the 6-yard line.

In the second half, Eastside changed from its 3-5-2 to a more attacking 3-4-3 and succeeded in putting more pressure on the C-ville backline. C-ville played more on their heels and was less able to dictate play. After some runs up the wings which were broken up, George took a run up a wing, pulled the goalie off his line, and made a nice cross to a wide open Daniel on the weak side, who put just enough force to push the ball over the goal line. The last 15 minutes saw some furious midfield back and forth, but both goalies stood firm and the game ended as a tie.

Final score Eastside 1, Churchville 1. Good season guys.
