U11 Bluewater Boys Soccer Team face Tough Opponents
May 12, 2008

In a tough match against the heavily favoured North London Hotspurs, the U11 Bluewater Boys Soccer team was defeated 3-0.  Playing in Sarnia at St Clair High School the local Boys put up a valiant effort falling to one of the top teams in the Province.

Opening the game Bluewater took the Ball and Jordan Walsh drove the field for a scoring opportunity.  Back and forth play through to the mid point of the first half kept both squads on their toes.  Midfielders and wingers Chris Docherty, Andrew Shortt, Adam Craievich and Jared Borque kept contending for the midfield against a superior team.  But in the 18^th minute a defensive miscue resulted in a direct kick for London from just outside the 18 yard box which was quickly converted into a goal.  Five minutes later 2 quick goals; one from a corner that wasn’t cleared and the second from an outside shot; gave the strong London team a 3-0 lead at the half.

A strong showing from Bluewater to start the second half generated a scoring chance for Joey Eddelsyon-Taylor of Bluewater but exceptional goalkeeping was the only reason Bluewater didn’t score.  The offensive combination/talents of Blake Maxfield, Tim Kaldeway and Marco DiFederico racked up the scoring chances but the London goaltender met the challenges.   Prolonged pressure from London mid way through the half was dealt with by Goalie Nick Paquette and his defense Ethan Shackleton, Cole Lauzon, Dale Mizener, Christian Mauti, and Adriano Fuoco.
