Again it was Mount Pearl goalkeeper, Tyler Putt and their great defensive system that carried Mount Pearl to victory. Justin Pickford two goal effort and Sean Drew late marker was more than CBS could handle.

Triller weekend !

Big game for Mount Pearl tonight

CBS vs Mount Pearl

In a game tonight where Mount Pearl meets CBS,the outcome could have major significance on the final standings. Mount Pearl, who are trailing St.Lawrence by just three points, could knot themselves on even keel this evening with a win.

Goaltenders

Both team's goaltenders have been outstanding this season and both of them have the potential to be the difference. Mount Pearl's keeper Tyler Putt has been simply outstanding all year and the CBS goalie Chris Hayes is the biggest single reason why CB Auto Strikers FC team have had a great first season.

CBS stated their point

What's so remarkable about the points that CBS have this season is the fact that this new club have already defeated St.Lawrence, the Feildians, and Western United and they have managed a tie against the first place Holy Cross team.

Very interesting !

Tonight's game in Mount Pearl at 8:45 pm could be "Very Interesting !"

Holy Cross: 1 vs CB Auto Strikers FC : 1

CBS stuns Holy Cross

Wow! Wasn't that a shocker in Provincial Challenge Cup play, CB Auto Strikers tying the " Big Red Machine." To date, this season Holy Cross pretty well have controlled their opponents and only have lost one game in the process. For most part, when Cross went to Nugent Field most would think, how many goals are Cross going pump in on this young team this evening? How many goals is Zack Wade going to score? Well the answer is one and I mean one, twice. Cross scored one goal and Zack Wade scored once. He was their lone marksman.

Hayes and Foote - star

The difference in this match turned out to be CBS goalkeeper,Cris Hayes and their star striker, Matthew Foote. I feel it would also be fair to say CBS also outworked Cross. There is no doubt that Cross controlled the match territorially and had enough chances to bury CBS but really Cross finishers didn't appear focused. They were just cruising along and in some cases they were mere idling . Their opponents worked very hard, were backed by some remarkable goal-tending and it was his stop making that did make the difference. While at the other end of the field, practically every-time CBS got with in striking distance of Scott Edwards, Matthew Foote was generating trouble for all of the Holy Cross fullbacks and having chances.

Goalscorers

It was Zack Wade, scoring his 14th of the year to open the scoring at the 35 minute mark and it wasn't until the dying seconds of the match, the 90 minuted mark, that Matthew Foote scored the tying goal. Foote's goal was his 7th of the year.

Tie or a victory

In the books this game will be written up as tie, each team will receive one point but there is no doubt that CBS walked away the victories team in this contest.

Mount Pearl and St. Lawrence are in a dog race for 2nd place.

It appears that Mount Pearl and St. Lawrence are into a dog race for second place that could be decided in their last game of the schedule when these teams are slated to play each other. Both teams went into this weekend with exactly the same number of points after 15 games. After this weekend’s action, where both teams defeated their opponents in two straight games, they remain tied. Mount Pearl had travelled to Corner Brook where they defeated the Western United FC team in both of their matches. As a result of Western United two losses this weekend ,they are officially knocked out of the 2010 Challenge Cup play-offs. While on the Burin Peninsula , the hometown Laurentians were celebrating St. Lawrence Day. St. Lawrence added to the hometown celebrations by shuting out the Feildians from St. John’s in two straight games at the Centennial Field. They blanked the Feildians 4-0 on Saturday and 2-0 on Sunday. Feildians have now clinched 4^th and final play-off spot. On the Avalon on Saturday ,Holy Cross added 3 points to their first place standings by destroying the St. John’s Under -18’s by an 8-0 score. But the same young minor team from St. John’s showed character on Sunday when they rebounded from their devastating loss by beating the CBS representative by a 3-0 score.
