// Match Preview: Vicious Slinkies FC v Romance Explosion//
from the dhChornicles | VSFC Soccer Blog by D.R. Higgington
The last few weeks have been rather trying for the VSFC team. Not only did they loose 2 weeks ago to arch-rivals Pagliacci - but they also lost two players. Ty Sassaman will not return this season with prior commitments to Broomball - and co-captain D. Higgs will be out for the foreseeable future with an ACL tear sustained during the game. However - this being the last game - we are looking forward to a strong showing by our remaining Slinkies. Their opponents - Romance Explosion will be looking for blood after loosing to the Slinkies 1-0 last time around. When a controversial penalty call was waved away - Slinkies hung on to the game and picked up their 2nd victory. Will the winds blow their way again? Find out tomorrow night! D.R. Higgington
