play. Accordingly, the match against Polonia Mielec Chicago S.C. had to be<br />
rescheduled to a later date.<br />
The Over 30 Team finally took to the field on April 26, 2008<br />
0-2 against Vikings at the Schwaben Center in Buffalo Grove,<br />
Illinois. The line-up had to be shuffled as many of the regular team members<br />
were out of town. The game also marked the Over 30 Team debut of the<br />
aged Mitch Lechowski, Rob Czop and Herb Sherry.<br />
The first half of the game was played to a scoreless draw, but there were<br />
plenty of opportunities for both sides. John “JP” Parsinen neatly rounded<br />
several defenders to go in on goal, but the keeper did well to thwart his low<br />
struck shot. Mitch Lechowski also saw a shot drift just wide of the left post.<br />
Of course, other opportunities were wasted as Todd Schneider, subbing in<br />
from the Over 40s for the depleted squad, saw his open effort from 25 yards<br />
hit the upper half of the backstop netting. Not to be out done, Greg<br />
(hereinafter known as “House”) Boltz incredibly managed to clear the backstop,<br />
sending a shot into the surrounding community.<br />
In the second half, however, <strong>Green</strong> <strong>White</strong> sharpened their focus and the<br />
break through came at about the 60 minute mark of the match. Chris Wixon<br />
received the ball from the defense near midfield on the left side and found JP<br />
tracking back in the middle. JP turned the ball and distributed to House as<br />
he raced into the right corner. As the defense crowded into the box for the<br />
expected cross, House deftly turned inside his defender and played the ball<br />
back into space for a streaking Rob Czop, who hit the ball first time from 18<br />
yards out with a dipping shot that found the left side netting. For his effort,<br />
Rob was drilled into the ground just as he hit the game winner. Indeed, from<br />
thereon out things got chippy as the Vikings felt the game slipping away.<br />
<strong>Green</strong> <strong>White</strong> sealed the victory 15 minutes later on a similar goal. This time,<br />
Chris Wixon found Derrick Wilkinson in the right corner. Derrick cut the<br />
