Match Report
Due to an all-day shower, 25000 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at The Launchpad.
Tomahawks tactics involved an interesting 3-4-3 combination. They fielded:
Goddard - Carrillo, Tidwell, Austin - Heinrichs, Rybarczyk, Marino, Piņa - Hooks, Holtz, Pedersen.
Bonafide started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup:
Searle - Hedrick, Foust, Wyatt - Brady, Kidd, Cheek, Colvin, Manez - Putnam, Newsome.
Winston Austin received some harsh words from his coach after he acted foolishly, probably out of lack
of experience, in the 5:th minute and almost caused an opponent to score. Bonafide had several good
opportunities to take the lead, especially in the 6:th minute when Joseph Putnam came up alone against
Steven Goddard who managed a block. A questionable penalty in the 14:th minute gave the home side the
lead 1 - 0. The visitors goaltender didnīt stand a chance as Wayne Hooks knocked the ball home. Tomahawks
put themselves up 2 - 0 when Larry Holtz broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box
behind him. In the games 29:th minute Bonafideīs Wade Cheek fell dramatically just outside the penalty
area. However, the referee booked Wade Cheek for taking a dive. A bit later, a magnificent combination
in the middle resulted in Tomahawksīs Michal Rybarczyk putting the lead up to 3 - 0. Wes Foust showed
great fighting spirit and didnīt seem to mind the rain at all. The teams went for a half-time break at
3 - 0. Tomahawks held the ball, with a clear 57 percent possession rate.
Bonafide had a magnificent opportunity in the 55:th minute as Ed Wyatt hit the ball hard at the edge of
the penatly box. However, the shot went wide. Michal Rybarczyk increased Tomahawkss lead to 4 - 0 by
putting a header away on a hooked ball from the right. Tomahawks put themselves up 5 - 0 when Alberto
Piņa broke through on the right, leaving the entire defensive box behind him. Tomahawks held the ball,
with a clear 61 percent possession rate.
The most dominating Tomahawks player was without a doubt Michal Rybarczyk. Kurtmartin Heinrichs on the
other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Bonafide player was Wes Foust. However, Alex Searle made
a disastrous appearance. The match ends 5 - 0.

Thoughts
This was by far the most important match we'll have all season. I thought we'd win, but not like this.
It appears Bonafide didn't have their heart in it as if they didn't want to try to win. I'll take it
any way I can. I expected a higher midfield since we got a passable on the road playing normal. Again,
no biggie as I chalk it up to form of 2 key midfield players.
With this win, we move into sole possesion of 1st and look to win the title unless HT turns on us and
we get upset. I don't forsee that happening.
