Recommended Posts

Result of the Friday September 9th, 2005 CPSL game between Durham Storm and Windsor Border Stars played at Civic Stadium in Oshawa at 9:00pm.

1 min...Storm Edson Berceda GOAL...DS Clint Crouch (?) 50 yard freekick up the middle, Berceda on left leans into header from 7 yards on left and puts ball over goalie Sean Murphy and into right side of net.

10 min...Border Stars Aaron Byrd GOAL...WBS Jeff Hodgson rolls cross from left through box and Byrd taps in 5 yarder beyond goalie Yasumiro Sasayama.

29 min...Border Stars Aaron Byrd GOAL...WBS Jeff Hodgson pass ball up middle to Byrd on left and he rounds goalie, cuts back and rolls ball past diving goalie and sliding defender for goal from 10 yards on left.

35 min...Border Stars Aaron Byrd GOAL....WBS Kevin McLellan cut in from left past two defenders and rolls cross to center where Byrd slots in a 5 yard tap-in.

38 min...DS defender Paul Martin trips up WBS Radek Papiez on right side of box on through ball when Papiez was pushed forward a through ball. Referee's assistant sees the play and signals for Stephanie Den Haan to call for a Penalty Kick.

39 min...WBS Aaron Byrd Penalty kick is low to center of net but left and goalie blocks on sprawl and defender clears from left.

56 min...Border Stars Dan Savich GOAL... Savich takes diving header from 5 yards on right to pop ball over goalie and drop under bar when he receives a low cross from left.

61 min...Border Stars Kevin McLellan GOAL...WBS Dan Savich low cross from 40 yards on right has McLellan charge in on left and kick low 10 yarder into right corner of net.

83 min...Border Stars Aaron Byrd GOAL...WBS Radek Papiez on 1 on 1 down middle passes to left for charging Byrd to take ball at 30 yards and from 20 yards on left, chip goalie 12 yards out for ball to land on right side of net.

87 min...Border Stars Aaron Byrd GOAL...WBS Dan Savich rush on left crosses through box from 25 yards past defender and Byrd slots in 7 yarder from left.

89 min...Border Stars Aaron Byrd GOAL....WBS Steve Merkar cross from 20 yards on right has charging goalie fumble ball and Byrd tap into empty net from 7 yards.

Final Score:...........Durham Storm...........1...............Windsor Border Stars..............8.........

Attendance was about 110 made up mostly of kids teams and their parents on this warm night with the temperature falling in the second half. The game was not rough with referee Stephanie Den Haan leading an all female group of officials only pulling out one Yellow card when WBS Alberto Naboulsi earned it at 76 minutes for tripping up Edson Berceda at the DS 40 yard line. Both teams had chances to get even more goals.

We could call both teams the 90 Minute Men because the Storm only had three substitutes on their lineup. In London last weekend Storm general manager John O'Neill promised me a different team than the one that only had eight guys and had their game forfeited when a player was injured in the first half. I hadn't seen the team in two months and he was right; these are different players than before. Now we just need more of them playing at the same time.

The Border Stars only had one substitute plus coach Pat Hilton who was not pressed into service. Maybe for this game I shouldn't complain because if they had brought a full compliment of players, they probably would have done the sporting thing and subbed off Aaron Byrd in the second half and we'd have missed half of his six goal display. Last week at the Open Canada Cup semi-final in London, I saw him score three goals in a game against Laval Dynamites. He was also a good sport after this game, helping me fill in the assists on his goals. Without that kind of input, my reports would be as generically dull as the ones on the CPSL website! This is the second time I've seen them play on a Friday night with the bare minimum of guys and win as very early in the season they edged Toronto Croatia 1-0.

Border Stars don't have time to rest as they have a home game the next day (Saturday) at 7:00pm on the Michigan side of the border against Vaughan Shooters.

Hey, Paul Martin, a defender on Durham Storm called for pulling the WBS player in the box. Maybe someday he'll play against Julius Caesar of Brampton Stallions.

87 min...Dynamites Jammil Demers GOAL...Demers gets cross from right and 25 yard blast has flying goalie Roy Blanche catch but impact of him landing has the ball jarred away from him and it trickles over the line and referee's assistant signals goal.

Final Score:........Brampton Stallions.........4..............Laval Dynamites................2.............

Attendance was about 100 on this warm evening with the sun still shining brightly for the first half from the north west.

Although the scoreboard worked, there were no announcements, music nor national anthem. They did have their barbecue/concession stand set up. Only the intermittent cheering of a boy's soccer team "Gunners" provided some atmosphere.

Milodrag Akmadzic is the new coach of the Stallions ending a struggle between the owner and the previous manager who had his favourite players according to an insider posting on the Voyageurs message board. I can't think of a better coach for this team right now than 'Bosco' who still is their stalwart in defense. Their second goal was created by him from pure hustle to rush for that loose ball and cross it in perfectly.

The Dynamites brought only eleven players. They listed another two but the fourth official wasn't buying it and they will fined by the league. After the game, a Dynamites player answered me that it was the same when they played the night before against Hamilton Thunder. It's hard for them to gather players when they have work and school. He was telling a Stallions player that (with this game ending at 9:00pm) they wouldn't be back in Montreal until 4:00am.

Vaughan Shooters manager Ruben Toro stopped by to watch the game and said his team had won their game in Michigan against Windsor Border Stars 1-0 with the Border Stars as the Home team only having 12 players. That was their trouble on Friday night when I saw them in Oshawa beat Durham Storm. He had some details about the CPSL branching into a Futsal League with maybe 16 teams. One goalie, four outfield players plus maybe five subs. The application form has a $1250 entry fee for the men's division and $10,000 in prize money.

Stallions had the luxury of bringing in six substitutions (the maximum in this league is seven) but oddly they finished the game shorthanded when their goalie Roy Blanche was crunched in injury time when a Dynamites knocked him while both leaped for a high ball. Andres Gravioli who was listed as their backup goalie but was playing as an outfield player since the 55 minute mark came over to the sideline for his goaltender shirt to finish the game in net.

Stallions' owner Joe Fuliere had some more details about the CPSL press conference coming up on Thursday. It will be about some GTA teams becoming 'Ethnic'. Well we figured Toronto Croatia and Toronto Supra (Portuguese) actually are. He said he is not ready to jump because he'd have to think with Brampton being such a multi-ethnic city, that it might alienate their fans if he narrowed in on one group.

Seems like a great game...I cant believe a team like this is allowed to compete.
