Teachers 5-4 Grade 7

The crowd witnessed a scintillating game today in a searing Ambrit Stadium as the teachers scraped home with another victory.

Mr Chad threw the cat among the pigeons when he mishit a clearance and set up Paul for the opening goal. As the teachers searched for the equaliser, Mr Paolo put in Mr Max twice and his third pass found Mr Matteo who headed past an advancing Joel to make it 1-1.
Mr Max made it 2-1; Mr Dan made it 3-1: would G7 collapse?
No!
Giacomo and Ottaviano combined to put Guillermo in and the Intramural top-scorer made no mistake. An exciting game continued to enthral when referee Corcoran awarded a penalty to G7 after Mr Martin handled in the area; Cristian levelled the scores.
Now this was anyone's game, but Mr Paolo kept the teachers' noses in front when his long shot caught out Joel: 4-3 with just minutes to play! Next to take centre-stage was Giacomo. A defensive error saw him one-on-one versus Virginia but Giacomo was cool and made it 4-4 with 30 seconds left to play.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man... cometh the best goal seen in Ambrit Stadium for quite some time. Knowing that time was running out, Mr Max found himself in the penalty area with his back to goal when the ball came to him.
He might have panicked, he might have shirked responsibility, but no: he produced a quality scissors kick to make it 5-4... to win the game... and to break the hearts of a gallant G7!
