Wankas End Season with a Draw

Wankas FC ended their season against Benedict Sunday over the weekend with a 0-0 draw. The game was as exciting as it sounds as neither team was able to sustain any significant possession or put much pressure on the opposition goal. WFC’s failure to win the 50-50 balls prevented them from getting into an offensive rhythm and often forced the defense into some last-ditch tackles. As the scoreline suggests, Jeff Graham was once again the most consistent player on the pitch. With few opportunities created, the need for him to be ruthless against his attackers was even more desperate, and he rose to every task. Offensively, the Wankas were limited to a few individual efforts, the best of which came through a quick one-two passing move that opened up Sam Robertson for a shot.

Wankas FC finished the season with 3 wins, 2 losses, and 3 draws, giving them a 4th place standing behind ISC Renegades, Indiana Impact, and Columbus O-30. Aaron Gordon was the team's leading scorer with 5 goals, with Schuyler Wareham and Ross Kenyon each tallying 3 assists apiece. Aaron Gordon and Jeff Graham each registered a shutout in goal as well.

WFC will once again rue missed opportunities and defensive lapses that cost them points in a very winnable league. The upside is that several new faces made WFC their home and integrated seamlessly into the squad. We look forward to them returning for the spring season. I’d like to thank everyone for their efforts and encourage you all to play indoor during the winter. We’ll be arranging kick-arounds as soon as the weather cooperates.

Have a great off-season you Wankas!
