Game Summary
MHS 2, FPC 1
Tough loss as the Pirates scored with only a few minutes remaining in this evenly played match. Always a tight game in the annual el clasico, this one lived up to the billing. A chess match that was only decided by a deflected shot that was lucky for them and unlucky for us.
