Before I get to the game report for the Men's Competitive division championship game I want to make an observation about the scheduling of championship night this season. The Corvallis Sports Park scheduled the Premier final to be played before the Competitive final. A very odd decision in my opinion. It was like having the opening act take the stage after the main attraction. Amadan is a cool band, but would you schedule them to play after the Rolling Stones?

The crowd was awesome for the Coed and Premier final but once the Premier match was over the whole place just died. The crowd was gone and most certainly the excitement was gone. From a spectators perspective, it sucked. I'm guessing for the players it would have been much cooler to play in front of a packed house (I know I like an audience). It couldn't have been great for business either to have all those people leave with their wallets and purses at 9:30 instead of 10:30 PM.

In the past the Premier game has always come last. And its been great. I hope they switch it back. On to the match report.

Men's Competitive Division
Right About Meow (RM) vs. WTF
1st Half
24' I recognize WTF as the Wondercups. Same team new name.
23' GOAL! WTF open thier scoring account in the first minute. (0-1)
20' GOAL! WTF scores another. Rube and JJ who are playing for RM are in their third game of the night. (0-2)
18' GOAL! WTF scores again. The balcony crowd is gone. There are open seats. (0-3)
17' Rube and the WTF keeper pleasantly exchange phone numbers after some bumping.
13' After watching the Premier final the overall skill seems a little lacking but the pace of the game is fast.
10' Crash. Bam. Pow. Holy foul-fest Batman!
5' There are a lot of shots but its like that opening shooting scene in Pulp Fiction. "Did you see the size of that hand cannon?"
1' GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! Three quick goals in succession for WTF. RM looks in shock. (0-6)
2nd Half
20' The pummelling continues by WTF. I can safely say that RM keeper Anders is not afraid of shots at this point.
17' GOAL! Rube kicks a backwards volley off the Cudo Invesment sign and heads the rebound in for RM. (1-6)
16' GOAL! WTF answers quickly with a nice volley. (1-7)
11' WTF is still dominating. Anders is making some nice saves though.
9' GOAL! Surprise, surprise, another WTF goal. (1-8)
8' Seth megs his defender and finishes from short range. (2-8)
5' A RM player just did a double knee slide into the wall face first. At least they are still fighting I guess.
4' GOAL! Seth bends a shot inside the far post. (3-8)
3' GOAL! Seth with another quick goal. I cant help but think its too late for a comeback. (4-8)
2' Anders recovers from his back to make a great hand save.
30 secs Jahan scores a consolation goal for RM. The score is closer than it really was. (5-8)

Congratulations to WTF the Men's Competitive Division champions.
