The American Outlaws soccer team had a remarkable summer on the pitch. The team shook-off the Springs' mixed results and returned to sweep through the summer schedule.. The AOBloNo LOCOS met Celtic FC in the final and were trailing 1-0 until late with 2 minutes left on the clock. Stand-out Nigerian forward Jimoh Abiola was fouled inside the box and converted the ensuing penalty kick to take the team to shoot-outs. After 6 penalty takers converted from each side Dustin Harmon's effort was saved by the Celtic keeper thus ending a brilliant run. Lots to play for in the Fall, great season so far!
"I thought the team came out and showed a lot of heart tonight, we were on the receiving end of some very lousy calls, but we held firm and kept coming at them. We were undeterred, and finally pushed it to penalties. It's always a tough way to end a game, let alone the campaign, on penalty kicks but we were in with a chance, and in this business that is what is important, that we had our chance. See you in the Fall" -
