U12 BOYS GAME REPORTS |
Location : SFU #4
Weather : Sunny and warm
Mountain FC - 2 : 0 - Whitecaps
Half-time score : 2:0 (mtn:oppos)
After a 1-1/2 week layoff from competitive games the Mountain boys were ready to go. We came out and pressured the Whitecaps at every opportunity and aggressively went forward at whenever we got the ball. Chris Milani covered a ton of ground from his midfield position and the defensive 4 of Sean Lam, Jeremy Rudd, Karoush Faritous and Dallin Akune were solid. Fantastic work by Bronson Hartley and Bikram Minhas up front kept the Whitecaps on their heels. Milan Gandesha and Marcel Sillas came on as subs at the 20 minute mark and 3 minutes later they were combining for a goal when Marcel took a nice shot from the top of the box and beat the Whitecaps goalkeeper. Shortly thereafter Jeremy Rudd stepped up and hit a quick free kick from just outside the box catching the Whitecaps defense flat footed. The shot found the top of the net and left Mountain up 2-0 going into the half-time break. The start of the second half saw the Whitecaps come out flying, but our boys kept their high work rate up as half time subs Luca Lepore and Stefan Kamner worked tirelessly in midfield. Both teams exchanged chances in the second half with Brendan Detta comfortably handling every situation he faced in goal. Both teams played very nice football as they kept playing very positive in a competitive environment. Superb midfield performances were also turned in by Storm McLaughin, Marko Dackovic and Marko Nisic. It was perhaps the teams best performance of the season as all our players work rate was off the charts. Final 2-0.
Goal #1 scored by: Marcel Sillas Assisted by: Milan Gandesha

Location : South Surrey Athletic
Weather : Sunny, dry
Mountain FC - 0 : 4 - Coastal FC
Half-time score : 0:0 (mtn:oppos)
The first half started very promising. After Coastal hit the cross bar early on, the Mountain squad played a good game moving the ball and making dangerous runs forward. Chris Milani was making tireless runs up front and caused havoc for the Coastal defense. A series of free kicks and corners brought us no success, but Bikram Minhas brought us close when he hit the cross bar from one of those free kicks. The Coastal goalkeeper was able to rise to the occasion any time we tested him. Half time: 0-0. The second have started with a shock, 2 quick goals from the Coastal team came from right up the middle of the park. Sloppy marking and give aways were the theme for Mountain as the Coastal team applied pressure. Eventually we worked our way back into the game and started to battle hard. As time started to draw down and Mountain pushed forward Coastal countered with 2 late goals. Final: 4-0.

Mountain FC U12 BOYS vs Metro Ford - June 5th
Location : Burnaby North
Weather : Sunny, warm & dry
Mountain FC - 0 : 2 - Metro Ford
Half-time score : 0:1 (mtn:oppos)
Mountain ran into a hard working Metro Ford team today that battled for every ball and made life challenging for the Mountain squad. Metro Ford took an early 1-0 lead after 4 minutes when a long through ball caught our defense flat. The Metro Ford player did well to claim the goal when he broke through and went in on Brendan Detta alone. The balance of the half was a battle as Metro Ford seemed to have an answer for everything our boys threw at them. Half time: 0-1. The second half stared with Mountain trying to pick up the pace by moving the ball quicker but Metro Ford persisted in defense and answered back by wining every ball on the back like. A Metro Ford counter attack paid off half way through the half when an excellent shot to the top left corner beat Robbie Wong in goal. The last 15 minutes saw a strong surge from Mountain as we pushed forward trying to get back into the game but met with no luck. Strong performances were put in from Sean Lam, Milan Gandesha, Adam Turrin and Jeremy Askew. Final: 0-2.

Weather : Sunny & dry
Mountain FC - 2 : 1 - Coastal FC
Half-time score : 0:1 (mtn:oppos)
The game started and 30 seconds later Mountain was down a goal. An early break down the wing by Coastal ended up with a cross into the box and a crowd of players, the ball bounced off someone and went straight into the net. Wow, what a start! It was a perfect night for a game and the grass pitch was immaculate. Our Mountain boys were not accustomed to playing on the grass and took a while to figure out the pace and the run of the ball, but they worked their way back into the game playing a good possession game. Several chances developed in the half with Marko Dackovic, Sean, Lam and Storm McLaughlin all having good scoring opportunities. The Coastal team countered with dangerous balls into a deep lying centre forward who in turn created opportunities for the Coastal team as they moved forward. Robbie Wong came up big when called upon to keep the score line where it was. Bronson Hartley and Milan Gandesha worked very hard, they took control of the midfield and looked dangerous as they moved forward. Half time: 0-1 In the second half Mountain started to see breaks go their way. Three minutes in, from a free kick on the left hand corner of the pitch, to everyone’s surprise Stefan Kamner took a short kick to than ended up with him eventually laying on a great ball for Milan Gandesha who finished it with a well placed shot to the top right corner of the net. At the eleven minute mark Bikram Minhas was send through on a breakaway from Storm McLaughlin and toed a ball past the Coastal keeper to give Mountain the lead. Mountain continued to pressure as our fullback pair of Adam Turrin and Jeremy Askew pushed forward. The Coastal goalkeeper was right on-the-spot on several shots from Storm and Marcel Sillas and made the saves look simple. Late pressure from Coastal team resulted in several corner kicks in the dying minutes of the game, but Mountain sustained all efforts and held on for the win. Final: 2-1.

Mountain FC U12 BOYS vs West Coast Capitals - May 24th
Location : BLSCW#5
Weather : Rainy
Mountain FC - 5 : 3 - West Coast Capitals
Half-time score : 0:0 (mtn:oppos)
It was a game of two very different halves. The first half was hard fought, with each team exchanging very few scoring opportunities. There was little room on the park as both teams pushed forward. Each team had shots from distances and there were many offside’s as each team tried to break through. Late in the first half, a miscommunication between the Mountain defense allowed the ball to squirt through for a Victoria forward to run on to. Brendan Detta rose to the task and slide out to strip the oncoming attacker of the ball. <br> Half time: 0 – 0 <br> The second half saw the game come to life. At the 6 minute mark Bronson Hartley was sent through on a nice ball from Stefan Kamner and tucked the ball away to give Mountain a 1-0 lead. The Victoria side then responded with 2 quick goals to take a 2-1 lead. Shortly thereafter a nice build up down the right side of the park involving Sean Lam, Jeremy Askew ended up with Karoush Faritous knocking a hard ball across the goal. The Victoria keeper had it bounce off him and Marko Dackovic tucked away the rebound. Later Bikram Minhans broke through on a partial break away and slide the lead goad into the corner. It was a lead Mountain would not give up. Mountain followed up this goal with a volley from Marko Nisic right into the top corner. Victoria then pulled a goal back and applied late pressure in an attempt to equalize, but with only minutes to go Marko Dackovic finished the game of with his second of the game. It was a very exciting end-to-end game that kept the crowd entertained. <br> Full time: 5 – 3

Mountain U12 boys had a successful trip to Victoria where they brought home a 4-1 victory over the West Coast Capitals. Early pressure from the home team kept the Mountain squad on their heels. Victoria was rewarded for the early pressure when they went up 1-0 at the 15 minute mark. Mountain worked their way back into the game with hard work from of our back four and midfielders. With 5 minutes to go a great build up ended up with Adam Turrin hitting Sean Lam with a great through ball. Sean fought off a defender and managed to force the ball into the net. Half time 1-1. The second half saw our boys come out and take over the game with quick passing and good support. The second goal came when Chris Miliani won a tackle, dished the ball off to Marcel Sillas who in turn hit Sean with another through ball. Once again Sean delivered, hitting the net with a well placed ball just inside the far post. Marcel Sillas scored on a penalty kick after some fancy footwork by Marko Dackovic forced the West Coast defenders to take him down in the box. Stefan Kamner wrapped up the scoring tapping home a rebound off the goalie after a hot shot from Marko Nisic couldn’t be held. In spite of our possession in the second half the West Coast Capitals continued to counter and Robert Wong was called to duty several times, one of which was a great diving save when the game was only 2-1. Solid playing performances were turned in by Jeremy Askew, Jeremy Rudd, Luca Lepore, Dallin Akune and Karoush Faritious.
