Match report: 6-1 Win vs. Taichung Tubbies

Saturday, November 22, 2008:
Another clash with the Taichung Tubbies resulted in a good result for Compass. The match was structured as three thirty minute periods, with the first thirty minute period remaining scoreless.

Caleb broke the drought with a break-away in the second period, and he finished the game with a tidy hat-trick. Other goal scorers were Laurent, DJ and Stephen.

Tubbies' only goal came on a defensive passing error that left the center of the field unprotected and allowed an easy one-two into the net.

Match report: 2-1 Loss vs. Tainan Phoenix

Saturday, October 25, 2008:
Tainan Phoenix were invited to Taichung for a friendly game at the Morrison pitch and showed under the lights with a large contingent of players.

Both teams typically contend for top places in the quarterly Taiwan Championship tournament, and were anxious to get a test match in to gauge each-other's strength. The tournament is scheduled for November 8th and 9th in Kaohsiung.

Match results were 2-1 in favor of the Tainan Phoenix in a hotly contested battle that saw both sides with a number of chances.

Match Report: 7-2 Win vs. Taichung Tubbies

Taichung Compass defeated the Taichung Tele tubbies in a friendly match this past Sunday, October 5th.

The match started with high energy but neither team found their touch until well into the first period. A cameo appearance from a haggard-looking Momo solidified the middle of the field. Goals from Ben (1), Don (1), Alan (1), Keiron (1), Austin (1), and what must have been two other individuals, secured the 7 - 2 win.

Match report: vs. Taichung Tubbies (February 16, 2008)

Taichung Compass beat the Taichung Tubbies 3-1 in short-sided 9-on-9 action. Up front, Allan, Ben, DJ and Seb ran circles around the Tubbies defense, while honorable mention goes to Austin, who played a great game in the net and on the field.

We had some unexpected extra help from a Compass United alumni, Jeff Lorico, who played an awesome game, as well as from one of DJ's friends, Chris.
