Pelicans FC Black

Coming off their first win of the season PFC Black looked to continue their winning ways against FC Silverbacks. Things looked good prior to the game because of: five subs on the bench, my new size 4 Jabulani replica ball, on time arrival and warmup of everyone, and the five subs on the bench. The team welcomed newcomer Adam Johnson to the squad, so much so that we posed for a halftime picture- not sure why but place your team photo order with him.

FC SIlverbacks struck first on a quick shot within the box coming from the right side. Feeling a sense of urgency, PFC Black stepped up their offensive game and strung some passes together to create early scoring chances from our forwards and the entire midfield. Steady knocking on the doorstep of a goal, our subs provided the much needed boost. Cesar, back from a friendly fire injury of sorts, had a direct shot on goal blocked and a quick one-two pass between David McDaniel and Adam Johnson narrowly was off frame. Karl was able to score on a shot on the near post from a cross from the left side coming from David McDaniel.

The second half got underway and unfortunately a quick counter, a good shot from the outside of the box, and miscommunication on defense accounted for three unanswered by the gorillas. . .err silverbacks. That slip brought to you by the opposing #20 constant pleas that the defense was holding him the entire game while his right elbow somehow always found itself raised at chest level. PFC Black threatened back offensively but the final whistle blew, FC Silverbacks 4- 1 PFC Black.

PFC Black sees glimpses of their football potential; with a full team for the rest of the season look to bounce back going into their final games before the winter break.
