An Interlude of Cup Play.

Every year, the teams of the RSSL compete for 2 league cups. One being the League Cup, where all teams of all divisions are entered into a single elimination tournament. The other being the one held after the regular season, where teams must earn their way into play-offs. This particular game involves the former of the two.

Our opponents this year were the Players United. A middle of the pack Premier team. A team that possessed many players serving game suspensions for misconduct. Many of whom would be eligible just in time for this game.

First Round of League Cup Competition 2005-2006

FC DSBH

versus

Players United

Like games of old in Division 2, the pace was fast and the physicality was gritty. We fought valiantly. However, due to previous injuries, players not eligible due to late registration, as well as further injuries sustained during the game itself, DSBH fielded a skeleton crew. The combination of all those factors put what should have been an attainable victory to slip through our grasp. Narrowly ending with,

FC DSBH-2

Players United-3

Among the fallen were Dom. He was pulled out of the game with an upper-leg injury. Also,

Jason will probably be sidelined for at least a month with a “knee tweak”.

(Brian)

However, this much needed Thanksgiving season hiatus will provide our aching numbers to hopefully recover in time for Fury.
