Slim Pickings for the Tracks Hounds

The second match of the day saw a light Slim McGinn's (4-0) face the dogged Tracks Hounds (2-1). Slims was down a few player and needed a couple of substitute players to fill in. Tony Gaar and Aislinn Leonard stepped up to help Slims out in this regard. As we have come to expect from both teams, this match was a dazzling display of skill mixed with physical tenacity.

As the game began, it was clear to all the spectators that this would be a tough game for both sides. The defensive play was superb and dominated the game keeping the scores down for both sides. By half time, Slim's managed to slip slightly ahead of the Hounds, but the game was certainly up for grabs during the second half.

As the second half started, defensive play continued to be just as tough as ever. The Slim's Goalie Andy Haugh made several key plays often running out of the goal; in effect, playing as a fourth fullback with colorful jersey and socks. While midfielders Vinny Moloney and Mike Hoffman battled things out in the middle of the field, a fight broke out on Track's defensive end sending a Slim's player off the field with a red card. The would not change the outcome of the game as a few minutes later, the whistle blew with Slim McGinn's defeating the Tracks Hounds 14-8.
