Final Score:....Brampton City United........4..............SC Waterloo..........1..................

Attendance was about 100 people on this warm, sunny afternoon. There'd been a lot of rain overnight and this morning which caused the CSL Second Division game between the reserves of these two teams to be cancelled but there was no problem of a chewed up field for this game.

This was a rough, chippy, close checking game with players not so worried about making sliding tackles on the soft grass. At one point SCW Ranko Golijanin was injured away from the play at 14 minutes and while he was being treated, SCW Jhon Inglis came over to the trainer and collapsed so he could also be treated. One minute after play resumed the SCW goalie collapsed in his own box well away from the play. Referee Gianni Facchini kept this game under control giving out four Yellow cards to Brampton and one to Waterloo. This included the BCU goalie being carded for swatting a long freekick ball away from a crowd of players except that he'd stepped out of his box. Also SCW Adis Hasecic drew one for diving in the BCU box. Both teams had lots of complaints about offside calls. Finally after 75 minutes almost every rush Brampton had worked well as the SCW team pressed upfield and grew tired.

Best non-scoring chances were mostly confined to the second half. 56 minutes had BCU Marcos Nunes tap a pass to BCU Thomas McLean who dribbled through defenders up the middle and took a 20 yard shot that the goalie was able to palm over the net. 65 minutes had BCU Alex Braletic on a rush on the left tap a ball to the side around the sliding goalie but then crash over him and out of the play but a defender cleared the loose ball at 10 yards. 68 minutes had Nunes rush up the right and send in a low cross through the 6 yard box and BCU Scepanovic was not able to connect on a 5 yard tap-in. 79 minutes had Nunes roll a pass from 20 yards across the 6 yard box and Scepanovic missed this one too by jumping over the ball. Scepanovic eventually won the ball back and dribbled back to the middle and shot a 20 yard blast just off target. The same minute Nunes took a 20 yard shot from the right that was caught by the sprawling goalie. 90 minutes found Nunes open to take a low 20 yard shot from the right that missed the left post and a sliding Scepanovic whose momentum carried him to the back of the net.

Brampton improves to 4 wins, 0 ties, 1 loss with today's victory while Waterloo drops to 2 wins, 1 tie, 2 losses.

I had no luck watching last week's Rogers broadcast of the BCU vs Burlington game (that Brampton residents got to see) on the Rogers superchannel on channel 368. It only offers sports already run on their Toronto channel that already played on their community channel 10 and then 21 hours of test patterns per day.

After the game I found I had half an hour to get to the game at Centennial Stadium in time for the Toronto Croatia vs Niagara United game.
