Game 6 featured a rare Thursday night match which could be best described as a walk through Sleepy Hollow compared to our last match. The early morning hours of game day included e-mails and telephone calls to try and raise the required 11 players. But at game time Captain Cal came through and brought along a sneaker clad buddy named Julius Daxner, I believe he
is related to Dragon. Julius proved to be a nice addition to the squad and we have our agent, Cal, trying to sign him for the remainder of the season, (This may be difficult has Julius doesn't need his stamps). Cal said he was better than him, but not quite as good as Cal thinks he is, this proved to be true. After much scrambling for a keeper for the match, Brian Gosse lured injured back fielder Keith Rideout out to tend goal. Keith did an excellent job stopping 53 of 54 shots, the one he missed could be best described as drooling over the line by a couple of inches.

The match was even after 45 minutes, but we could feel the tide start to shift in Mount Pearl's favour, both Cal and Roger Power left at the half, Cal said he should not have to come off the field for the remainder of the season. He has taken his turn. With Mount Pearl Waterworks flowing easily and steadily down hill their relentless water pressure paid off at the 70 minute mark when Pat Brake's half missed header slipped and squished its way over our line.

CBS did managed to gain yardage in Mount Pearl's half, but were water cannoned back every time by John Clarke. The match did turn ugly or friendly depending where you sit on the same sex marriage issue as newly acquired player, Julius, was fondled or manhandled during an attack on Mount Pearl net. The Mount Pearl Mid-fielder explained to Julius that he was not
afraid of him and welcomed the attention and rough play. That comment sort off left the CBS forwards wondering if they should approach the Mount Pearl net?

All in all it was a well played and officiated match, several off sides were call against our opponents which was a first for this season andnobody was called a bayman.

Jeff Haines, Clyde Thornhill, Rick Squires, Roger Power, Todd Ryan, Brian Gosse, Terry Fleming , Ernie Bolt, Steve Major, Frank Dwyer, Cal Dwyer, Julius Daxner, Keith Rideout, Kenny Porter, Denis Dober
