Dragons Split First 2 Matches Before Tournament Abandoned Due To Weather


The Haverford Dragons went 1-1 in the Robert Urban Memorial Tournament today as soggy conditions eventually forced the directors to abandon proceedings just before Haverford was scheduled to take to the pitch for their final match.

The truncated affair had begun poorly for the Dragons, as driving rain and cold temperatures clearly dampened their ambition against CSSC 97.

J.A. Fiorilli was pressed into service early on, going to the muddy ground a few times in the opening eight minutes.

But there was nothing he could do about CSSC's opening tally in the 10th minute, as a cross in from the left side swung out to the 18 yard line and an unmarked player had plenty of time to hit a quality strike.
