(Morristown,NJ)- The Morristown 1776 AFC will continue their quest for their first win since last June this Sunday, May 3 at 9am vs RD Benders at Westbrook Middle School in Paramus.
Mid-table RD Benders (5-6-3, 18 points), technically the visiting team (Morristown's home pitch, Mennen Field is still closed for turf damage), will play host to last place, The Morristown 1776 AFC (1-13-0, 3 points).
RD Benders has scored 30 goals and conceded 35 on the year, and defeated a 8 man Morristown 9-0 on October 26th. Morristown played the match down 3 men and without subs or a regular goalkeeper.
The Continentals plan on having a full squad for this match and hope that along with on field improvements they believe they've made will make the difference for Morristown in Sunday's match.
Morristown manager Dan Clayton said, "We're a different team than the fall, we're still looking for the results but we're much better. And we'll be playing with 11 guys this time."
RD Benders striker S. Aps is second in the league's goal scoring race with 13 strikes on the season. Teammate Bergsman has 5 tallies. Morristown's leading scorer is Brady McDonald with 4.
Vinton Available
Former 1776 Manager and current goalkeeper Ryan Vinton will be at the dispersal of gaffer Clayton on Sunday. Vinton missed the last two matches with work commitments.
Weather or not Clayton chooses to utilize Vinton is a subject of debate as Mark Basso played perhaps the finest game of his Continental career last week,perhaps laying claim to the first choice goalkeeper spot.
Basso and Vinton have split the time in the net this spring.
Clayton, Linepinuel Probable
Manager Dan Clayton is likely to play Sunday in his continued return from a hip injury. He scored his first NJSL goal on a PK last week.
Rob Linepinuel is also likely to play. He has a broken toe and a pulled groin that we're both suffered last week vs Vikings FC.
"He played well in training last night. That kid is quite a warrior.", said club chairman Ryan Vinton via telephone today.
