We are now in the final stretch of the season with back-to-back-to-back games against ClareAndDons, Tsunami, and Red Tape. We need to finish strong and focus on the prize: promotion to the Second Division.
The easiest way to take the prize is to finish first, in which case we would automatically go up, regardless of playoffs. Check out the standings.
The race for first will probably be decided this weekend. We sit in second place (13 points after 5 games) and we play ClareAndDons, the first place team (16 points after 7 games). If we win or tie, we have a great chance of finishing first. If we lose, however, the best we could hope for is second place, because ClareAndDons would finish with 19 points and the tie-breaker (head-to-head win).
On the stat sheet, ClareAndDons are impressive. They have more than twice the number of goals we have. A source tells me they have some mean D1-level strikers, and that they are not always friendly. But they haven't faced our defense or counter-attack yet - it's been lethal for every other team thus far. I know we can do it - we are solid top to bottom. We are working well together. We'll just have to make a few tactical adjustments to take their goal scorers out of the game and to sink some goals of our own.
I'm looking forward to it. We're having an awesome season. Let's enjoy this opportunity.
