Darien High School Boys JV Soccer beat Fairfield Warde 2-0 on the Thursday, September 20th at Cherry Lawn in Darien, CT.
“We had to overcome several obstacles” said sophomore Jonas Von Schmitt. The refs made some questionable calls, ignoring some fouls and hand balls for Warde while still managing to call them on DHS.
One ref was particularly questionable with a pair of darkened sunglasses on a cloudy day, and stopping the game to speak with the other ref concerning an obvious call she was unable to see.
This was made worse by the lack of sportsmanship and flat out aggression on Warde’s part. Warde repeatedly fouled DHS and the tension was evident every second of the game.
Perhaps a contributing factor in this was the former employment of the Warde coach, who used to coach the DHS freshman team, many of whom now play JV.
“We were happy to beat him” Von Schmitt said with a smile.
One can only imagine how good this win must have felt, hopefully there will be many more ahead for boys JV soccer.
