If you've ever been a forward, you have probably faced this problem. You have your back to your opponent's goal with the ball at your feet. You are no quite set up to take a clean hit. What do you do? Take the hit before the defenders pounce on you or take time to set you shot up properly? Kelburne's captain, Chris Nelson, opted for the latter and his coolness was rewarded in a remarkable equaliser against RC Polo de Barcelona, which finished the match at 2-2.
Kelburne are scheduled to play East Grinstead tomorrow. If they play like they did today, East Grinstead will have a fight on their hands. If Barcelona play like they did today they could find themselves eliminated at the end of this weekend.
