Match Report: 4s Are Wild!

Dean Park Rangers played its 4th competitive match of the season, and for the 4th time earned the maximum 4 points for the victory. It was also the 4th time that DPR held the opponent under 4 goals. The win was accompanied by another 4 fair play points. Did I mention that the game was played on January 4th?

Although the game was meaningless, with DPR assured the top spot entering the playoffs, and Arsenal the basement, both teams found plenty to play for. For Arsenal, it was pride or something. For DPR, it was the pursuit of perfection and a traditional roast of some old friends that would make even Don Rickles proud.

DPR rushed out to a 5 - 0 lead without too much effort and held an 8 - 1 edge before losing steam and trading goals. The lead was padded by nice strikes by Terry, Everton, Dan, Mike and Dave (editor: "is this correct? It says 'Dave'!"; fact checker: "yes"). Towards the end of the match, things got edgier, with plenty of fouling, grabbing, and inartful play. One of the few highlights was Ilyas getting on the end of a long lob pass and flicking it over the keeper's head into the upper right corner for a classy finish.

Final score:
DPR 10 - 3 Arsenal Victoria

Team Record: 4-0-0
