The coldest game so far this year was hosted by Real at 1pm this afternoon.  Their competition, Premier Division Galactics.  Galactics are a Clearwater based club that trains several days a week and is focused on bringing the best team possible for a game of this importance.

Real faced a tough competitor last week and came up two goals short of a victory.  Today was about getting back to the plan of attack and working together as they always do.  When watching Real, a spectator can sometimes lose count of the consecutive passes.  This fundamental is echoed by Coach McMaster at Real's weekly training session.  Today's opponent was Dunedin Sterling 1st Division.  The away game was played on a narrow field which can sometimes give Real possession problems since they are so used to 120 yards by 80 yards (their home field).

The first twenty minutes were a bit ragged by both teams.  Real was pressing hard while keeping Dunedin from attacking.  The first couple shots were driven right to the Sterling goalkeeper.  25 minutes into the first half, Real would break the scoreless game with a nicely played ball from Sean Maloney to Adam DeClerico.  Adam dribble down the sideline and picked out forward Justin Niemann.  The ball was first-timed by Niemann into the back of Dunedin's net.  The first half would come to a stop with the score resting at 1 - 0.
