Friday 2/16 5:00pm at Ben Franklin
Will try to be there to provide updates. Thoughts and predictions?
Riverdale appear to be the hottest team in DII right now. Knocking off #7 SouthTerrebone and #2 (and maybe even title favorites) Teurlings Catholic, in consecutive games on the road. #7 for them is an exciting player to watch and firing on all cylinders.
Ben Franklin appear to be scraping by at the moment. Close results against NOMMA and STM. I’ve heard they could be dealing with injuries. Should be an exciting game.

Throw for Riverdale, #7 does with a great individual effort to get down the line, dangerous ball into the box but #10 mis-hits it, not cleared well, #16 with a decent effort from distance that goes over the bar.

Link to watch the game - LINKIs this an automatic camera or is the direction manually moved? Missed first goal as it was off camera to the right.

First Half Thoughts:
Very entertaining first half! 3 goals in the first 12 min of the game. Franklin trying to expose Riverdales high line with long balls over the top/into the channels for #4 and it’s been successful. Plenty of chances. Set pieces have been the difference though for BF. Riverdale has struggled to deal with the height and physicality of BF. Riverdale did well to strike first but BF did great to respond. It’s been all BF since they went down a goal. If it wasn’t for some great saves from the Riverdale GK, it could be worse.
