Space City 2 AMsoccer 5 (211 passes)
AMsoccer put in an excellent performance against Space City. A header from Matthew Porteus, followed by excellent finishes by Jamie Meekison and Ewan Stenhouse put AMsoccer 3-0 up at halftime. Space City fought back to make it 3-2 before Stenhouse added the fourth and an excellent left footed strike by Kieran Fox rounded off an excellent 5-2 vistory. MVP was Ewan Stenhouse who was fantastic throughout the game. Well done lads.
