Green Hope 5 vs. Cary 0
Green Hope hosted the Cary Imps for the second fixture of their
series. Green Hope won 3-0 back on September 30th and was looking
for a sweep of their cross-town rival.
The Falcons started very slowly and frustration seemed to spill
over from the Apex game into the first part of this fixture. Finally,
the Falcons calmed down and found the back of the net in the first
half as John Hindman made a long throw that Martin Murphy calmly
controlled in the box and used his patented spin move for the left
footed bomb into goal. Falcons 1-0. The half ended soon thereafter
with little excitement from either team.
In the second half, the Falcons played much more inspired and were
able to get a quick goal off a corner served in by Taylor Estrada
to Thomas Lindsey. Lindsey, being the bravest player on the team,
threw his body toward the ball inside the 6 yard box in the midst
of flying boots and knees. He was able to dive to head the ball
just before it hit the ground and drove it in the net for the 2-0
lead. John Hindman then got on the end of a pass from Murphy and
knocked the ball home for to make the score 3-0.
With 30 minutes to play, many personnel changes were made and the
level of play intensified. Justin Smith played a nifty ball through
to Zack Query who deftly slotted it into the corner of the goal.
Then, Bryan Moon showed some fantastic dexterity as he was falling
to the turf to play Query again in the box, and Zack calmly hit
it home for his second of the night. Query had a chance for the
hat-trick but got a little too cute on a break away and missed wide.
With the 5-0 win, Green Hope's record is now 12-4-1 and 8-2-1 in
the conference. The Falcons travel to Fuquay Varina Wednesday night
for the second leg of the series where the Falcons won 1-0 the first
time around.
