Coming off two straight victories, Sudbury was geared up for the 2010 Spring home opener against another new opponent to the OTHSL, the Boston Gunners.
The hosts controlled much of the play in the first half but could not manage anything on the scoreboard as the Gunners defenders were able to stave off any consistent pressure.
In the second half however, Sudbury came out with purpose and started creating more chances. Five minutes into the half, Ryan took a beautiful ball down into the corner, made a defender miss and sent a perfect cross to the middle where Andrew came streaking from his stopper spot and buried the goal for a 1-0 lead. It was particularly sweet for Andrew as he had a scary moment in the first half where he collided heads with a Gunner player on a contested head ball and had to leave the game for a spell with a bit of a gash. Taped up and ready to go in the second half, he gave Sudbury a lead they wouldn't surrender.
A few minutes later, Sudbury continued the pressure and Afe was able to flick the ball ahead to Anthony who beat the keeper for his second goal of the season.
Sudbury's defense of Erik, Andrew, Ivan, Steve and Peter were strong all morning as the Gunners barely had any chances against Pat, who only had to make a few saves for the shutout.
About thirty minutes into the half, Sudbury completed the scoring. From his left midfield spot, Leo saw his counterpart on the right side, Ryan, streaking down past the defenders. Ryan took the ball and fired on the Gunners keeper who made the save but Erik, trailing the play from his spot in the middle, potted the rebound into the open goal for the final score of 3-0.
