Rocket Robin Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 LYNX OFF TO ROCHESTER The Lynx men head across Lake Ontario on Friday evening to visit the sparkling new PAETEC Park in Rochester for a match against the Raging Rhinos. The match, kicking off at 7:35 PM is the second of four meetings between the two rivals, with Rochester having taken the first meeting 2-0 on May 13 at Centennial Park Stadium in Toronto. Toronto has been on a torrid pace lately, winning 3 of their last 4 matches to move into an 11th place tie with Minnesota in the USL First Division table, with 11 points. Rochester currently sits in third place, with 27 points from 15 matches. Toronto will be missing a host of regulars in the match however, due to injury. Forward Jeremy Shepherd suffered a broken leg in the Lynx’ 1-0 win over Atlanta on Sunday evening and will miss the remainder of the year. Midfielder Joe Mattacchione was injured in Montreal last Tuesday and will miss the match. David DiPlacido and Tony Menezes remain questionable due to lingering injuries. The club will also be missing defender Chris Williams and forward Matt Palleschi who have secured trials in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoccMan Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 It's kind of funny hearing about these Lynx players going to Europe to try out. I mean no offense to the players going over for the trial, but they are playing for a team that is one of the worst in the USL, and one of these players going over has been having a hard time getting playing time on the Lynx so far this season, so what makes them think that they could make a team in Europe, just wondering.

You'd be suprised how many former lynx players now play in Europe. They may have a horrible team, but for some reason they are able to produce, some quality players.

Daniel Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Chris Williams was actually a pretty solid versatile role player in Montreal. Palleschi, on the other hand, was crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.T. Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 As his former coach I am biased - but Palleschi was injured during his trial last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
