In tonight's game, both teams played well during the first half with Mount Pearl opening the scoring on a goal from Bernie Manning at the 18 minute mark. It was a beautiful unselfish play by Justin Pickford who passed the ball deep inside the 18 yard box that set up Manning, leaving Holy Cross's netminder,Scott Edwards with absolutely no chance. Then at the 30 minute mark, a Holy Cross free shot banged off the crossbar and goalpost before being sent out of play.
In the second half play became very relaxed and it appeared that Mount Pearl had victory well in hand until a penalty shot was awarded to Holy Cross at the 78 minute mark.`It was Mount Pearl's Adam Drover bolting over a Holy Cross attacker, causing the penalty kick. When Mount Pearl went back on the attack,while looking for victory that would give them a shot at second place, a major defensive blunder occurred late in the game. This mistake allowed Dan Connolly to break between Mount Pearl's fullback's and score on Gerald Connolly giving Holy Cross a 2-1 victory.
