The rematch that was supposed to be a dogfight turned out instead to be a route. LC Arsenal was to face their toughest opponent last Saturday after having defeated them earlier in the week on penalty kicks.
The Nighthawks were awarded a berth in the final after having defeated the Gators Thursday evening. Having had to play the extra game Thursday night apparently took its toll on the Nighthawks. They came out flat Saturday in what quickly became a lopsided 1-way affair as Arsenal manhandled them from start to finish.
Star midfielder Ben scored in the first 2 minutes, and mid defender Jack, quickly followed with a goal of his own. It was 2-nil by the 10th minute and although the game stayed at 2-nil until halftime, The game was clearly controlled throughout by Arsenal, possession time was massively in their favor.
Arsenal had no intention of letting off the gas, coming out strong in the second half. Alan, (pronounced “Elan”), quickly scored and Arsenal went up 3-0. Later in the second half Alan also scored a beautiful goal off of a penalty kick. Ben got the 5th goal late in the game.
A fantastic end to what was a hugely successful season.
Congratulations to all of the boys and to Coach Keith!
GO ARSENAL!
