Smells Like Low Tide - Deep Impact 0-3 (0-2)
0-1 Marty Klingebiel (Blake Ambrose)
0-2 Marty Klingebiel (Jamie Watts)
0-3 Marty Klingebiel (Jose Chi)
A memorable Marty Klingebiel hat-trick secured another three points as Smells Like Low Tide were left licking their wounds at Twin Ponds Park.
After being crowned league winners a few weeks ago and with playoffs in the not-too-distant future, Impact got the double over Low Tide without having conceded a single goal in both games. The current squad number is proving to be an important factor in this season's success with almost too many players missing every game and the fact that four players are joint top scorers in the league with 6 goals each so far. It's looking very promising for next season.
This year's second encounter with Smells Like Low Tide was not as exciting as the first, but Impact delivered the goods and outplayed their opponent in every way. Marty became the main attraction with a treble of goals, showing great predatory form. His first has to be credited to Ambrose whose quick legs and stamina beat the entire defense before crossing it low and precise. Klingebiel barely had time to react but managed to score from close range. The second goal came from the right, this time a long cross from Jamie that bounced over everyone and with a couple of elegant touches Marty poked it in behind the goalie. Impact could have had more goals in the first half but settled for a comfortable two-goal lead.
The second period of play was again dominated by the away team, however, only one goal would come out of all the chances and possession. A quick throw by Jose Chi found Marty, who dribbled half the team before blasting home an unstoppable shot. The hat-trick was complete and Impact seemed satisfied with the result as Low Tide only threatened on a couple of occasions. A decent team performance, with once again a flawless defensive display and an attacking prowess that stands alone in the division.
In other important news, the deadline for signing up the team for Winter Season 2011 is coming up in less than two weeks. Deep Impact is hoping and expecting to move up to division 2B.
