Murphy v. Fairhope

021009

Murphy and Fairhope played a tough game at Cottage Hill Park in both teams' first game of the season.  The fact that is was the first game was evident for both teams. 

Michael Taylor got the Murphy scoring started with his goal in the first half.  However, Fairhope responded and immediately began mounting a serious offensive push and scored shortly thereafter to tie the game 1-1.

Later in the second half, Trey Adams scored on a corner kick with a volley to the back of the net to put Murphy up 2-1.  Once again, Fairhope responded with an offensive push and scored within a couple of minutes to tie the game again, this time at 2-2.  Each team had opportunties after that score to put the game away but good defensive effort by both teams resulted in no scoring and a final tie of 2-2.
