Well it was built as a must win game for us in the lead up to it. Dc united were ahead of us in our conference so it was crucial that we got a result and jumped above them with only 9 games remaining. The line up had a few changes to it with some youngsters coming in with injuries to some senior players. However as the game panned out it was great that these young lads bought some energy into the team with the weather approaching over 100 degrees. We started brightly and went a goal ahead when de ro scored another header from a sammy cronin cross. O ‘brien  white nearly added a second just before the break as we went in a goal up. The second half was similar as chances came and finally OB scored his first pro goal. A great moment for him after the injury that he has battled through. A big 2-0 win for us before a run of 3 away games, and special mention to all the young boys who performed superbly throughout. Oh and the noise at bmo was as loud as i ve heard it this year….

Re some of my old team mates here, mo edu is continuing his recovery from injury and hopefully he ll be back training soon. Rohan ricketts has been on trial at aberdeen but i have not heard how he is doing. Ronnie o brien after just becoming a dad for the first time is just playing lots of golf!!!

Some great talking points from the mls this week. David beckham being sent off and saying refs are poor, fisticuffs in the locker room at chicago between player and coach, and colombus winning at home AGAIN!
