Fury takes crown in Overtime!

A group of determined young men fought off a 2 goal deficit to win the U16 District crown in dramatic overtime fashion.  Down 0-2 at the half Sarnia unleashed a Fury in the first minutes of the second half and closed the gap with a goal by Jordan Johnson at the 47th minute mark. Constant pressure during the remaining 2nd half finally broke down Wallaceburg and caused them to pull Dylan McAnulty down in the box at the 87th minute. This allowed Jeff Schroeter  to touch in a PK past the sprawling keeper. Overtime ensued, and the Fury put the ball in at the 92nd minute mark after a shot by Zac Vanreenen was stopped by the keeper with a huge rebound landing on the foot of Jared Dally who hammered the ball into the mesh from the 18.  Wallaceburg were unable to respond and the game ended with the ref's whistle at the 100th minute. Dispite playing with 14 underage players (15 year olds) and only 3 16 year olds this group of U16 men hoisted the cup.
