Tonight may have set a record for the number of offside calls I saw made on each team. I also can't remember having seen a come from behind victory in the CPSL game this year.
Rene Martin got a big ovation when he was introduced during the game. He came up to the press box for a few minutes. Details of the injury were outlined in last week's game report between Astros and Olympians. Under doctor's orders he won't be able to work for six weeks in his day job as a driver for a courier company so for soccer he's definitely through for the season. Four broken ribs and a punctured lung make it difficult to breath and move around he said.
