Vs BC Tigers (formerly known as Punjab Tigers)

The boys felt the game was in the bag before the whistle had blown as the BC Tigers had never beaten them over the past few years.

As the boys got the game going they were not allowed to get into any type of rhythm as the Tigers changed there game plan and started the game aggressively. The referee let the first few challenges go which is to be expected, however as the first half continued, they became more reckless and the CRS boys were unable to get there pass and move football going.

In the second half a clumsy free kick was given away and the BC Tigers were able to score off a long ball into the box which was met by an awkward header by a crs player for an own gaol. With the Tigers going a goal up, they decided to put up a wall in front of the net. Although the boys weren’t able to get in rhythm they were obviously winning free kicks, however none of them were able to trouble the Tigers goalkeeper and the referee did not brandish a card. Congratulations to the BC Tigers on there victory and winning there first ever tournament.
Lost 1-0.
