TOCHIGI: NIIGATA VS MIYAGI

THE 1ST MATCH IS ALWAYS THE MOST DIFFICULT, & WE DIDNT MAKE THINGS ANY EASIER BY TURNING UP 5MINS B4 KO. WE STARTED WELL, HELD OUR SHAPE AND DIDN'T HAVE TO MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT FROM MIYAGI. GOT STRONGER AS THE GAME WENT ON, CREATING PLENTY OF CHANCES BUT NO GOALS. FULL TIME, ON TO PENS. 4-4AFTER THE STANDARD 5, SO SUDDEN DEATH. AT 6-6 PETE TOOK A PEN AND SCORED. THE OPP GK TOOK THE NEXT PEN, WHICH PETE SAVED WITH A CAT-LIKE DIVE TO THE LEFT!
RESULT: NIIGATA WIN ON PENALTIES
