2010 Bluewater Blaze
U14 Boys
LKDSL

 

The Bluewater Blaze 97's played their first home game of the season vs Wallaceburg at SCITS field on Thursday May 27/10. The young Blaze team (all 13 year olds playing in a U-14 league) started the game well controlling the majority of the play for the first 10 minutes or so fairly easily. After several good opportunities on the Wallaceburg goaltender it was Wallaceburg who scored the first goal of the game about 12 minutes into the match on a good run and nice finishing touch. Wallaceburg scored again a few minutes later on a defensive breakdown when two defenders seemed to miscommunicate and let a Wallaceburg player in alone on goal almost uncontested. Bluewater regained their poise and finished the half strong but down 2-0. It was apparent throughout the half that Wallaceburg had two players to watch closely. They would continue to be a threat all game long

Starting Blaze goalie Gage Riddoch was replaced by Owen Gibson at half time due to a mild injury.
Despite giving up a couple of chances on goal early Bluewater came out strong to start the second half. Marco Difederico scored about 5 minutes in on a beautiful crossing shot that found the back corner of the net. Five minutes later it was Jakob Washington who scored for Bluewater to tie the game 2-2 after tracking down a crossing pass and finding the back of the net. Bluewater continued to press and added the go ahead on a great run by Zach Grennan who was able to run by the Wallaceburg defense and showed a nice finish on a cross ball from John Filia. Up 3 - 2 it appeared the Blaze had things in hand however Wallaceburg had other ideas and despite some good point blank saves by the Bluewater keeper Wallaceburg scored 4 straight goals in the span of 10 minutes and won the game 6-3.  Though the loss was deflating in some ways it was very encouraging to see the quality of ball movement displayed by the young 97's.
