Solow & Isbel won the 2010 BVFC championships today with a very convincing performance. It is the second year in a row that the 4th place team has won. Andy and Adam have assembled a very strong team that deserved this victory. The Independent sorely missed 2 of their top players - Stu Cowen and Matt Santoleri, and suffered in the midfield as a result.
In the first half, the Independent may have taken a 4 goal lead if they had scored some blatant chances....
Team Independent won last night in a hard fought game. The score was 1-0, Raj the only goal scorer from a close range shot off a cross. Both teams had a number of chances, but both goalies played well. The teams were of even strength.
Thanks Cullen and Dave for reffing.
Sunday's games at Palumbo 10th & Bainbridge:
3rd Place: NOON: Brauhaus v. Vesuvio
FINAL...
The first semifinal went off last night in the pouring rain. Solow won 3-1, with all 3 goals coming from Marcus. Abdou got Vesuvio's goal. With this result, the streak of the Supporters' Shield winning #1 regular season team not winning the championship continues. In my memory, the #1 team has never won the cup. I will leave it to Adam and Andy to add a game report in the comment section. Big thanks to Pat and Narayan ("Chowder") for...
With the tie between El Fuego and Brauhaus, the playoff seedings are set. Vesuvio and Solow will face off on Tuesday night at Palumbo at 8 pm, while Independent and Brauhaus will play Thursday at Sacks at 7. Come on out and watch the action. The victors in the semifinals will meet in the final at 2 on Sunday at Palumbo following the 3rd place game at noon.
As an update, and as anticipated, Tuesday's match is paramount.
Can newcomers Solow pull of one of the greatest upsets of Bella Vista FC history by eliminating the defending champs Race St?
A draw or win by Solow would do just that, but Race St have been in this position before. As Solow's captains Andy and Adam well know, 2 last minute goals saved Race St in 2009, and they eventually won through subsequent matches on penalties. Race St...
This has probably been the most competitive season in BVFC. The top 5 teams are close and any of them can win the cup this year. El Fuego, the sixth, may have slipped their shot through some narrow losses early on, than bigger losses later. Until last week, the Burritos were in it. Race St barely qualified for the playoffs last year, and won both their playoff games on penalties to lift the trophy.
So in 2010, Vesuvio, Independent and Brauhaus are definitely in...
