BOLTS U13G in MASC what a surprise

Boys U14 - Expos 1 CCRU 0

From the U14G thread.

I am shocked the Bolts U14G are 0-2 after finishing strong to claim 3rd in the Fall. Their schedule doesn't get any easier as they play Scorps next week. Ouch.

Their remaining games are Scorps, FH, Blackhawks, Stars, and Pasa.

Checking previous seasons and age groups it seems there is usually a winless team and another with one win and a couple ties in the 7 and 8 slots.

Can they pull out a couple wins and a tie over the next 5 weeks?

What's so surprising about that?

Expo's are defending state champs, it shouldn't have been that close a game. Plus CCRU's top goal scorer is out with a broken foot.

Let's see........

Did you mean that it should have been an 8-0 blowout?
Or do you fail to realize everyone is out to beat a state cup champion and you generally get an opponent's best game?

No, perhaps I meant that maybe CCRU is a better team than expected.

FH 1 - Scorps B team 1

The main goal of the Bolts should be to avoid finishing dead last, which means automatic relegation.

I'm sure this wasn't the goal heading into the season.

I was surprised by 2 games in the Gu12 Blue:

Stars v Puma : 1-0
and
Fuller v NE Eagles 1-0

I expected a bit more from both, especially with all the hype surrounding the dominating presence of Stars.

didn't see either game, but was the score indicative of the game(s)?
