It was a dreary day at the Pasture, as the Bedford Bulldogs
controlled most of the possessions in the Junior Varsity's seventh game, especially in the
second half. The highlight of the
afternoon for Hanover came early in the first half, off of a ball that Jack
Hazard swung across the field to open space.
Robbie Murdza ran down the ball a second before the Bedford goalie got
there, and he slid into the ball and the keeper almost simultaneously and
squirted one in for a 1 – 0 lead.
Although Hanover had the lead, most of the game was played defensively,
other than a few home team runs leading to ineffective shots that sailed or
shanked far from the posts.
The second half was, for 10 minutes, a matter of good Hanover
luck as two shots bounced around the posts before sliding away untouched. The rest of the final half featured a rocket
from the Bedford striker that tied the game and a tough-to-swallow call with five
minutes to play, costing the Marauders a penalty kick goal that passed through the well positioned goalie
for the lead that held up for a final 2 -
1 Bedford win.
The loss was Hanover’s third, all by one goal. So, the 4 – 3 record could be much different,
but there it stands, with nearly half the season gone.
Two road games are scheduled for next week, Tuesday, 9/29 at
Manchester Central and Friday, 10/3, at Keene.
Check the JV Shutterfly Account for snacks, especially for the return
trips. Coach Grabill has asked that this
food does not leave a bus mess. Please comply with that request.
See you then.
