WITH MATCH POSTPONED, TEAM PUSHES ON

With the originally scheduled matches cancelled due to the forecast of hurricane like winds, the Red Bulls made the best of the situtation and played in inter-squad scrimmage on the Taxham training grounds.

In the end, the Orange team defeated the Yellow team, 4-1.

Here are the first half formations:

Orange Team

------------Angel----------------Echeverry----

----------------------Reyna-------------------

---Mendoza---van den Berg---Stammler---Richards

-------Goldthwaite-------Parke--------Mendes

------------------Thornton-------------------

Yellow Team

---------Wolyniec-------------Laventure---

-------------------Palacios---------------

----Borman---Marmol---Upibaripovic---Sassano

-------Palguta-------Brunner-------Leitch

-------------------Conway---------------



---Early in the first of two 35 minute halves, Orange was awarded a PK after a handball in the Yellow area. Angel stepped up to take the kick, but Conway thwarted the attempt going to his right.

---Yellow struck first with a tally from Laventure from inside the 18.

---Orange scored the next two, both off crosses from Richards, the first scored by Reyna and the second by Angel.

---Orange took a 3-1 lead into the half after Reyna's cross was put home by Echeverry.

---Two subs came on in the second half, as Mike Magee replaced Palacio, and Ted Niziolek.

---The only goal of the second half came on a beautiful 30-yard lazer beam from Marmol (who switched to Orange in the second stanza), giving Orange the 4-1 win.

---With the media looking on, the team displayed good shape and form.

The team is also trying to reschedule its match with Red Bull Salzburg Reserves, possibly Monday.
