into the action during Friday game against Chemist United at the field his efforts enough as the Falcons lost to the visiting team Herald photo The Georgetown Falcons soccer team saw their 2 lead over Chemist dissolve after drawing two costly penalty kicks Friday evening at Field Falcons coach George Baines said his squad had played well against the visiting team but some defensive errors allowed their op ponents to get back into the game We had good control of the ball on the attack but not so well in our own end They tied it on a penalty kick in the first half and won it on another kick in the second Barnes said the game was one his team should have taken two points from something that has happen ed earlier this season It s happened more than once in fact about three of our four losses could have just as easily been wins for us We re doing alright though With a record the team is in second though I don know what the exact stan dings are right now Baines said he was happy with the way his team has progressed over the last three years especial in their mental approach to the game They ve steadily improved and have developed a winning attitude as we ve gone along The whole league has improved and we ve moved in step with it With just five games remaining in the schedule Baines said he was hungry for more points to get to the top of the Premier division the top eight teams but had mixed feel about the next two games First we play Chinguacousy on Sunday and we should be able to come away with a win there The next day though we play the Brampton Eagles who are very tough It a reserve team for their team that plays in the Toronto and District premier division and they have a lot of players trying to make it to the top team Another goal Baines has set for the team is the League Cup games that are set for August It a league knockout tourna ment which we re hoping to make a better showing in this year We always seemed to get a really tough first draw This year we play Burlington and for a change we re fairly evenly matched so there a good chance we can advance past the first round which we ve never done before With centreback Benny Beckett coming back from an injury for the last two games of the season Barnes is hopeful of the team creating more scoring chances He a tall strong fellow who can make very good plays If the ball is played to him in front of the net a goal is pretty well his Baines said the team has shown good spirit and is continuing to work hard coming back to help out their teammates which is what is needed in order to make first place
