Red Baron hits 4 to secure JT Cup Victory
Fourteen Celts set out on Saturday afternoon to bring their team a
step closer to qualification for the knockout stages of the Japan
Times Cup. Maruzen, the opposition, had suffered annihilation by other
teams in the competition, and thus the pressure was on the Kanto Celts
to dish out similar punishment.
Indeed the Celts managed to overcome their goal-shyness, and put
seven goals past the Maruzen keeper, with Joe Burke increasing his
tally for the season by four. At halftime the Celts led 6-1, but some
poor tactical decisions coupled with a tiring defense, allowed the
Japanese outfit to put four goals past a frustrated Dave Barry in the
second half.
The Kanto Celts came away with the points after a 7-5 victory, but
are left to wonder as to what went drastically wrong in the second
half. A much-improved performance will be required if the Celts are to
overcome the menace of Stoneds in the next game.
