ACFC Municipal Team Drops 4-2 to League Leaders

A short-staffed ACFC Municipal Team fought hard resulting in a 4-2 loss to league leaders SC United on Thursday May 12.

James Green and Jay Baker scored for the Blues but it was not enough to overcome the 4-0 lead the opposition achieved to start the game.

An exceptionally strong effort was put in by goalkeeper Dave Styles. Styles made several saves in the second half to keep the home side within striking distance.

Ian Worrell also was solid while playing the “Stopper” position for the first time in league play.

A thank you must go out to all reserve players who made an effort to come on out on short notice to fill in for players out with injuries or other commitments.

A special thanks goes out to Ben Kull for organizing the reserve players and bringing extra socks. Reminder to all Municipal Players – You MUST have black socks AND black shorts to play. There are no exceptions to this rule. Several players were denied entry to the game due to lacking the correct wardrobe.

As a side note – the award for most colorful ACFC’er goes to Luis Deveze for his attire of Black Shorts, Green Socks, White Boots, Pink Laces and of course his ACFC Jersey.

The Municipal Team returns to play next week at the John Ferraro Fields at 8:50 against Glendale United.
