Loudoun Wins 9/10ths Against Ashburn?
By Paul Boyer | October 4, 2008
Have you ever heard the saying, “Possession is nine-tenths of the law?” If that is true, then Loudoun laid down the law against Ashburn this morning. The ball stayed on Ashburn’s defensive half for the majority of the game. But unfortunately on a couple of those rare occasions when it did squirt away, Ashburn was able to pop it into the goal plus once more on a handball-in-the-box penalty kick to “defeat” Loudoun by a score of three goals to none. Loudoun perhaps got overly offensive and strayed away from the defensive end a little too far on those occasions. Several goal attempts by Loudoun were either blocked or strayed just wide of the post. A good game to watch but on a field with long, dewy grass making for very slow movement.
The chronology went like this: Ashburn scored in the 8th minute. Then again on the penalty kick in the 37th minute and finally in the 58th minute as Loudoun threw everything on offense. This is one that could have easily gone the other way.
We’re very proud of the way our Loudoun B team played against Ashburn’s A team this morning. Way to go guys. As Journey sings, “When you learn to lose, you know what it takes to win.” But if you were there, you’d say Loudoun came away winners. Here come da’ judge!
