v Oakland Park FC 3-4

tragic game.  OPFC started a man down and FTFC scored three goals in first half.  goal keeper Thomas Pouncy again had a great game saving a penalty kick in the first half off a Bubble Gum clumsy push inside the penalty box.  In all fairness the OPFC player went down very easily, and the referee may have had some bias in this situation. 

the second half OPFC had a full team and came out with vengeance.  dominating the offensive half of the field and hitting some great shots.  Thomas had double digit saves again and two shots went off the posts.  Very rough game.  Bubble Gum got a red card for delay of game.  Very strange call.  Dirk received a straight red toward the end of the game, again a very strange call by the referee.  When Dirk was questioning the decision a several of the OPFC players got in Dirk's face.  Dirk was struck in the face while trying to keep them out of his personal space.  What ensued was a 24 min bench clearing brawl that included drunk OPFC fans. 

Manager Harry met with Oakland Park on Tuesday and a video was shot of the donnybrook that showed OPFC players and fans were mostly responsible for the fight.  Both teams with be suspended for one game. 

week 3 v Los Gauchos. loss 2-5

Much better playing in the first 15 minutes.  FLFC scored first on Jeremy's great 1 v 2 beating both defenders down the middle and finishing hard on the ground past the keeper.  Jonny came off the bench and scored the second goal with a beautiful header putting us up 2-1.  But late in the second half Los
Gauchos put in two goals going into the half leading 3-2.  Thomas agains had double digit saves while the opposing keeper had only a couple of saves on several long distance shots.  In the second half we played even until the last ten minutes when Gauchos scored two goals against a disorganized defense.
