The Marshfield Blue Jays travelled to Aurora, Monday evening to face the Houn’ Dawgs for the first game of the season. The Jays showed their teeth during the first half with several shots at goal. The Aurora keeper did a great job of protecting the box. Halftime time came with the score 0-0.
The Jays came out with more bite than bark the second half . Jesse Day scored the first goal with an assist by Robert Martin. Later Robert Martin put his own shot in the box, with the assist from Jesse Day.The third goal came off the foot of an unassisted Ethan Jernigan. The fourth and final goal was booted by Ethan Replogle. This gives the Jays a shut out for their season opener.The entire team played with drive and worked well together. Looks like all the hard work at practices has paid off. It was a pleasure to watch. The final score was 4-0 with the Jays taking home their first win of the season and their season opener for the second year running. GREAT JOB!!!
Tomorrow, Tuesday, Aug. 28th, the Jays play in Bolivar, starting at 4:30. Be sure and check the schedule for future games. We are looking forward to an exciting season on the pitch.
