In a long and what seemed like a never ending struggle with weather, the JeyU closed out their fall season today in the Championship Match coming away with the NCCDE āMenās Openā Cup in the Silver Division!!
Notable efforts today were made by all today, but significant play by our Defensive Backs Collin Cenci and Andrew Signallio commanded by Jake Allen, whom shut down practically every attack with his line. Our goal scorers led the charge giving us the edge we needed to continue. It was Corey Andrews who struck first with a pass across the box, then Todd Patterson with outlet breakaway with an easy chip over the keeper, followed up by a hard fought attempt and penalty shot by Brendan McFarlane, but the go ahead goal goes to Miguel Rodriguez with quick attack off an indirect allowing the ānail in the coffinā to be placed.
The middle was in possession after half time led by Shane Patterson and his creative play & control of the field. Defensive & Offensive midfielders Devin Peterson and Daniel Bennett, whom led the charge while dominating counter attacks and building offensive attacks with sleek footwork and determination to spread the pitch for outstanding ball movement.
It should be especially acknowledged that while we did come together after a rocky start, it was forward/midfielder Harold Mosley who stepped up for the team and defended the goal line with tenacity & focus as very little scoring attempts were achieved because of his performance as our goal keeper today.
This win, now marks, the third playoff trophy and 2nd Championship for Jersey United.
Stay tuned, we arenāt done yet!
