The St. Marys DCVI Senior Boys Soccer team defeated St. Anne’s on May 5, riding a major uptick in their ball control to a 3-0 shutout victory.

Richard Farmer had high praise for the senior boys’ showing against St. Anne’s.

“This was a different team that showed up (on May 5),” said Farmer. “They were moving the ball around really well and playing an excellent possession game. Luke (Binning) had his best game of the season and stood out as a team leader. He also scored a sensational goal. We controlled the game in the middle of the field, not allowing St. Anne’s offence to do anything. It was an easy day for our keeper.”

Farmer added the Salukis delivered a strong effort in their second game of the day as well but fell in a tight 1-0 clash against South Huron.

“The result (against South Huron) doesn’t reflect the game,” Farmer said. “We were the better team, but South Huron has the best defence in the conference and are really hard to break down. We had most of the possession and moved the ball around well but could not get past the defensive line. The only shots we had were from outside the box and either off-target or saved.”

In their 3-0 victory against St. Anne’s, along with Binning scoring once, Italian exchange student Cesare Benedetti scored two goals.
