The 4th Annual Zizzer Soccer Alumni Game was won by the Red Team in a Penalty Kick Shootout. After playing to a 5-5 tie, the Red Team won the shootout 3-1 to claim the victory. The first half of play was a close, well played contest with some good defending. The Red Team was up 2-0 at the half. Fitness or lack thereof played a huge role in the second half. It quickly turned into a game of kick and chase. Forwards outnumbered defenders nearly two to one and the midfield became nonexistent. I’m not sure who scored all the goals, but Ryan White’s PK in the shootout gave the Red Team and insurmountable lead and the victory.
A good time was had by all the fans and participants and a little money was raised for the WPSA. If you would like to help the WPSA with their two upcoming building projects (an indoor soccer building and a concession stand with a pavillion) go to their website and contact them or contact me and I can put you in touch with someone.
Randy Hunt of R & R Photography was out taking pictures (Like the one above of Michael Harrington heading in a goal for the Red Team). Check out their site and let Randy know what you think of the pictures.
I’d like to Thank the WPSA, Bill Weaver, Adam Eichenberg, Randy Hunt, and all the players and fans. We’ll see you again next year.
