HOPEWELL:
Ewing extinguishes Inferno
The Hopewell Inferno's difficult Spring season continued with a 3-1 defeat to local rivals West End that took place in sweltering conditions Sunday, April 26 at Ewing.
After recent setbacks, the Inferno coaches asked their players to return to simple basics, which payed off early when some good interchanges lead to an early goal--their first of the season--with Paul Shatynski finishing a multiple man move from close range.
However the Inferno found it hard to maintain their momentum in the heat, and Ewing gradually fought their way back into the game.
Despite holding a 1-0 lead at halftime, and some outstanding and brave goalkeeping by Owen Clarke, West End netted twice shortly after the interval.
A brave attempt at an Inferno retaliation was cut short by a harsh penalty decision, leading to a third West End goal from the spot.
With the heat building, injuries to key players made the task seem even harder, and the remaining 11 Inferno players saw out the game without conceding any further goals.
