Submitted By DirMarket on Friday, October 26, 2012
A belated congratulations to the Ajax Knights Midget A team who rocked Cleveland and rolled home with the championship trophy.
For the second time this season the team has come home as tournament champions,this time the Cleveland Rock ‘n’ Roll cup on October 19th-21st. Three well played games in the round robin saw the Knights win the first one 5-3 over NCHD,an under 18 Ohio team comprised of selected players from area schools. In game two, after spotting the much larger DeLasalle Pilots a 4-0 lead the boys in Red brought the locals down to size with three straight goals. Unfortunately for Ajax an empty netter in the dying seconds sealed the win for the Pilots. In the final round Robin match up, the Knight’s showcased their well-balanced attack topping the Ohio U18 Prospects 5-2.The title match was listed as a rematch of the first game against NCHD but featured a significant twist. Their rejuvenated opponents augmented their roster after the first encounter and had seven new faces in the line up in an attempt to counter the Knights attack. No matter to the Knights, same outcome, a 5-3 victory with the final tally coming from tournament MVP Mitch Fowler.
