Hornets Lose to Liberators
The Bolivar Liberators came to town this afternoon and got away with a 4-0 win on the Hornet’s pitch. The Hornets came out strong and had several opportunities early and were playing even with the Liberators until midway through the half when senior Jesse Ankrom slipped through the defense and went in alone on the keeper. Peter Casey scored a second goal for Bolivar shortly afterwards.
The Hornets defense stiffened, exmemplefied by Eresta Sombolinggi’s clearance in the photo above, and the boys went on the attack again for the remainder of the half. Despite several opportunities, they were thwarted by Bolivar’s experienced senior GK. The second half saw Bolivar come out tough but the Hornet’s weathered the storm and were pushing into the offensive end again on a regular basis but the final touch was missing today. Goalkeeper Mitchell Boyles kept the game close when he stopped a Penalty Kick in the 60th minute but as the game wound down the Liberators got two more goals as the Hornets pushed men forward in an attempt to equalize.
The boys travel to Lebanon Thursday for an away match and face Glendale at home next Tuesday.
