It's time to think about where to go after that.

It was a wonderful game. In fist half it was 2-0 which gave a lot of confidence (rather over confidence) to the bay mallus. The wind stated turning the MH Kickers side early 2nd half with their top notch stamina and pretty soon it was 2-3. Bay mallus got their act together and scored the equalizer before the end of 2nd half triggering overtime. Overtime mallus pull out a decisive victory over the MH Kickers: 5-4. Overall it was a pretty well played by both the teams kudos to both and congratulations to bay mallus. Click Here for Photos. | Click here to watch highlights
