2009 BSL CUP CHAMPIONSHIPMontgomery County 3
Capital District 0
BOX SCORE
The first ever BSL Cup Final is in the books and it was quite a shocker. Nobody could have predicted just how this game would end up turning out. The game started on Wednesday, but neither team was able to take any points. Right away that seemed odd since both high powered squads had a fair amount of players present for the weekday tally, but scoreless it was. The first score came Saturday afternoon when Casey Keller got a clean sheet for Montgomery County but remained the sole point from either team with several players fading out. Finally, in one of the mid-Saturday games, Steve Ralston popped in a goal and an assist to propel the Monarchs to a 3-0 lead. It was starting to look ugly for Capital District.
Still, this was the leagues #1 offense so even a 3 point lead is not safe one would think. In the Saturday nightcap, more Gunners players failed to perform and things were getting a little more shocking. However, Montgomery County had plenty of wasted opportunites as well and was keeping the door open for a comeback. The night ended with the score remaining 3-0. Sunday 
came, with big name players like Angel and Holden still available for Capital District and Landin, Cummings available for Montgomery. The opportunities came and went and the Gunners just could not score. The Monarchs should have gotten an assist from Omar Cummings when a shot hit the post, but the extra point wasn't needed anyway.

In the end the final whistle blew and score remained 3-0. The Monarchs are Champions! After an almost flawless season, the Gunners are denied "the Double" and are shut-out for the first time in club history. The game winner ended up being the Keller clean sheet from Saturday afternoon.
How did I draw the LA for not only Game 1, but against Dallas too?

ReplyDeleteWhip that MLS ass !
Question about the MLS side in the Majors Cup. Are we playing against the whole team or just 8 of the players and the goalie from the MLS team. I'm assuming I'm playing against the whole team.
ReplyDeleteI asked Fred a while ago and he said the MLS teams follow our league rules in Majors Cup meaning that their starters and GK count with goals/assists/shutouts. Any Subs they make do not count like our subs don't count.
ReplyDeleteThe MLS teams in Majors Cup follow the exact same rules that BSL teams use. Therefore, under season 1 rules, their Sub players do not count in the boxscore.
ReplyDeleteWhen season 2 arrives, MLS teams will follow our season 2 rules with yellow and red cards.
Mercy... have mercy.....
ReplyDeleteI will never under estimate Dallas again.
