1776 Falls 4-2 In Scrimmage

(Morris Township,NJ)- The Morristown 1776 AFC fell 4-2 at Frelinghuysen Middle School in Morris Township Sunday in what will be their final tuneup before the NJSL season picks back up March 29 vs Maiwand FC.

In a match that saw The Continentals fall behind 2-0 on a thru ball that failed to see a second 1776 centre back drop back and a collision leaving both keeper Ryan Vinton and Defender Mike Pollock on the ground that led to an easy score.

Morristown answered before the break on a Mike Cheatham header but quickly conceded another on a shot that slipped through Vinton's fingers for the 3-1 halftime disadvantage.

'76 quickly countered in the second with a Bedo strike to pull within 3-2 but fill in keeper Brady McDonald couldn't stop a shot to his right making the final score of 4-2.

Match Notes:

-Keeper Ryan Vinton, in his first outdoor match since August '07, left at halftime with soreness in his surgically repaired left knee, only to return for the final 15 minutes.
-Former NY/NJ Metrostar, Bedo recorded his first Continental goal.
-This was caretaker manager Dan Clayton's first match at the helm.
