A brace by Jerry White and a goal by John Carroll was assisted by a brace by Joe Sales and an assist by Ben Miller.

2014 Season Results:

Cricket League Final
Allegro 4-0 MCC
HT (1-0)

MCC played a tough match today in which the score did not reflect the dominance we had for long spells in the final. The team played some of the best football they had all year and even hit the bar and had numerous shots saved by the Allegro goalkeeper who also had a great game. The score was only 1-0 at the half and the title was still in the balance but as MCC pushed up to get the equalizer Allegro managed to capitalize on a number of breakaways. MCC has had many positives this season and we look to build on that to bring home the trophy next year. Congratulations to Allegro and we look forward to the next event - The MCC pub crawl to close out the season.

Moorestown 2-2 MCC
(Played at MCC)
HT (1-0)
Richie Graham (a) Tim Munford
Richie Graham (PEN) (a) Barry Smith

MCC ended the regular season in dramatic style with Richie Graham scoring a penalty with only 2 minutes left in the match to put MCC into the 2014 Cricket League Final. This came after some great work by Barry Smith to get into the box where he was brought down by a Moorestown defender for the winning penalty. Richie also scored the first goal with an assist by Tim Mumford which gave MCC a 1-0 lead at the break. Moorestown then fought back and took the lead with only 5 minutes left in the match. MCC never gave up and fought back to win the penalty in the dying minutes of the match and set up an exciting final with Allegro this Sunday at Radnor High School.

MCC had a great end to the regular season with a convincing win over Germantown Friends. Both Billy and Richie got a brace of goals while Jerry was welcomed back after injury with a brace of assists. Aaron got the other goal and Tim rounded it off for the last assist. We now want to take this momentum into the playoffs next week and should know who our opponent is in the next couple of days.

MCC 2-5 Moorestown
HT (0-0)
Brent Peters (a) Jon Balfour
Jon Balfour (a) Unassisted

With a depleted squad MCC bravely hosted Moorestown on Sunday. Unfortunately we could not pull off the win but look good to place well in the playoffs. Jon got both a goal and an assist and Brent got the other goal for MCC. We have a bye this coming Sunday and will be back the following Sunday with a home match against Germantown Friends to end the regular season.

MCC 1-3 Allegro
HT(0-0)

Dario Gavato (a) Jeritt Thayer

A tough loss in a hard fought match against Allegro. We had numerous chances to score and even hit the bar when it was 0-0 in the first half but luck was not on our side. Dario scored our goal with an assist from Jeritt. We look to get back to winning ways when we host Moorestown next Sunday.

MCC had an impressive win against a good Philly Cricket team that unfortunately had to play with just ten men for the majority of the match. Seven different scorers scored today including long time team player Chuck Norris. Other scorers included Paul, Jeritt, Richie, Barry, Gary and Brent. Matt had a hat trick of assists and Barry not only had a goal but also a brace of assists. The other assist came from Jeritt. We hope to keep up this momentum into the next match which is against Allgero at home next Sunday.

Germantown Friends 0-1 MCC
HT (0-1)

An excellent result today against a very good Germantown Friends team. It was a long hard fought game with Brent soring the only goal with an brilliant piece of skill. The  whole team played as a unit with special praise going to Dario who was excellent again in the nets. The next game will be our home opener against Philly Cricket on Sunday.

Allegro 3-0 MCC
HT (1-0)

A lot of positives can be taken out of the MCC defeat today. We had our chances and the team is beginning to gel. Dario was superb in goal and we managed to hold our own with the last two goals coming late on the second half. We have another big match next week on the road to Moorestown and then a BYE week.

An excellent start to the season and a great result against a rejuvenated and very good Philly Cricket side. MCC took a commanding 5-2 lead in the first half but Philly Cricket fought back and made it a very tight game which they almost leveled in the dying minutes if it wasn't for brilliant goal keeping by Schuyler our second half stand in goalie. Matt goat his first hat trick of the season and Brent landed himself brace. Barry and Edi finished off the scoring summary and Jack Miller played an outstanding game and provided two valuable assists. Other assists went to Barry, Brent, Edi and Gary. A tremendous performance by everyone and now we look forward to our next match this Sunday against Allegro at Radnor High School.

 HT (1-0)
Matt Hennessey (a) Jeritt Thayer

MCC started off very strong with two goals by Matt Hennessey and assisted by Jeritt Thayer and Allen Greaves.

MCC 0-3 Moorestown

MCC 2-7 Allegro
  HT (0-3)
 Jeremiah White (a) Unassisted

The next game is another important home game against Allegro this up and coming Sunday.

Moorestown 3-2 MCC
HT (0-2)
Dario Bravo (a) Chuck Norris
Matt Hennessey (a) Unassisted

A tough loss on Sunday for MCC especially since we were two nil up at half time.

No game next week due to the bye week but we can get back to winning ways on October 13th when we play Germantown Friends.

Allegro 2-2 MCC
HT (1-1)
Matt Cox (a) Unassisted
Billydee Scantlebury (PEN) (a) Unassisted

MCC fought a hard battle against Allegro and for the first time in three games Allegro could not over power the MCC side.

We are saddened to report that we lost a MCC Football legend this past week. George Cornell, Jr. was MCC through and through and loved playing with the MCC football team. He was a tireless worker on the pitch and scored many a fine goal. He was always up beat, had a great sense of humor, and was a true team player.He will be truly missed and our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
