It’s been a tough first couple of laps for an AC Croma squad that managed to capture top pre-season pole position.

“We were just missing some key young players from our formation,” explained AC Croma head honcho Jack Arduini, not overly perturbed by his squad’s 8-6 loss to C3 juggernaut Inter Med – the team’s second in two weeks.

“They were young and talented. We collapsed for 15 minutes and gave up four unanswered goals. Fatigue and age was a factor – last night’s formation averaged 47 yrs of age. Once we all start showing up…the machine will be in full gear.”

POTG: “No one truly stood out but their keeper in the first half. He kept the score low and saved four breakaways.”
