Report # 2 From England

CSS Women's Soccer Coach Dave Reyelts chimes in again from England.

"On our way to Chater, England... we stopped off to play Crewe Alexandra in Stoke. Earlier we toured Wembley Stadium home of the English National Team and where many concerts (U2 on the weekend) and other big events (NFL football) during the year. At Stoke, the Saints fell behind early to the high level Crewe club as the highly skilled Crewe players pinged balls across the field and deftly brought to the pitch, opening up seams in the Saints defense. 2 quick goals, followed by a late half goal put the Saints down 3-0 at the half. After making some tactical and personnel adjustments, the Saints scored 2 in the 2nd half and put another off the post before falling 3-2 to Crewe Alexandra.

Tomorrow, Off to Bolton to train with Bolton Wanderers FC and then to Wigan for another EPL game with Wolverhampton."
