9/25/2012 - Brooks 3 at St. Mark's 2
Game Notes:
A furious final ten minutes, featuring three goals, capped an otherwise uninspiring Tuesday afternoon affair. Both sides tried to play elegantly, with the home side doing much the better job of it. Brooks did carry the play in the first half and were rewarded with a fine Vieira finish from good flank service through Gordon in the 29th minute. But the visitors couldn't find a second finish, despite some fine play in the box.
The St. Markers carried the play throughout the second half and drew level through Volpe in the 68th minute. In the 80th minute Milbury charged forward from the back, was well found by Conrad, and rifled a tremendous shot to the far post. St. Mark's responded well with inspired attacking in Brooks' end and Prudhomme finished from the bye line after extended play in the Brooks box in the 87th minute.
Brooks threw everything forward, nearly conceding the winner, only to see Conrad calmly finish a headed ball from Timpson in the final seconds of play.
For the second match in a row, Brooks was fortunate to escape with all three away points and look forward to their first home match. St. Mark's young players served notice that they will be a force to be reckoned with for at least next few years.
