Dutch Masters 1 Richmond Pioneers 6. The Pioneers returned to their winning ways with a comfortable victory over Dutch Masters at Sunset field, the first road victory of the season. Despite conceding the first goal early in the game, the Pioners recovered with three nice goals from Graham, Ken and Johnny to take a 3-1 half time lead. The second half saw Ken complete his first hat trick of the season, and Ben convert a bad penalty call by the referee. The post game analysis, however, was centred around Graham's inability to convert the myriad of chances that fell his way in the second half.

Next game. We're back home at McMath for the much anticipated visit of the Stingers. Should be a great game. A Saturday night curfew is in effect for a certain player whose first name begins with the letters L.O.R.N.E.

Fundraising success. The meat draw on November 3rd at the Pioneer Pub raised $450 for the team. Thanks also to the Pioneer Pub for their sponsorship money.
