 11/1/09 Hump Street win opening round of NJSA Cup                        2-1 Win

Belle Mead, NJ- It was an early morning for the hump street boys on the day after Halloween.   The field was muddy and slick but that didn’t seem to slow down either side.  Hump street got off to a great start in the first half, dominating in both possession and opportunities.  It seemed it would be an easy day at about the 20th minute when right full back Diego Quattrocchi served up some Italian magic.  He dropped a ball brilliantly into the the box where the buffalo bill Jeremy Watson was patiently waiting, and he buried the header to give Hump Street an early lead.  The domination of possession continued and Hump Street nearly doubled their tally when new face John Barrajo took a rifle from about 20 yards out.  Cranfords keeper made an unbelievable one handed save on the dipping shot.   All signs seemed to be pointed in a the direction of a hump street victory until with about 5 minutes left in the first half Cranford got on the board with a controversial goal involving a slide tackle on the Hump Street goalkeeper Angelo Ratto.  Both teams came out hungry for a win in the second half as the referee became card happy with the Gialloblu.  After the speedy right midfielder nico ratto was handed a yellow card for a clean slide tackle, chaos ensued.  The assistant coach Chubrock Percontino became livid with the referee’s decision and gave him a piece of his mind… for approximately 15 minutes straight.  He was sent to the children’s playground to view the rest of the match.  With about 10 minutes left, Striker Pino Tubito seemed to be back to regular form as he chested down a ball in the boxed, turned on the defender and placed the ball neatly into the back of the net, putting Hump Street ahead for good.

 Jersey City, NJ: Hump Street opened up their pre-season campaign with a friendly match against Secaucus FC at the Caven Point Complex in Jersey City, NJ.  It was a good conditioning test for the players as the temperature and humidity made it very difficult. In the opening minutes both teams looked fresh and well matched.  Secaucus had an early couple of chances with a shot from distance and a header that sailed over from a corner kick.  Hump Street opened the scoring first with a strike in the 33rd minute from newbie Christian Vercollone. It was Vercollone again on the second goal 7 minutes later as he was played in one on one with the keeper and struck a near post shot to double the gialloblu's lead. Hump Street went into the half with a 2 goal lead.  Hump Street looked stronger in the second half and came through with a third goal. Zekiroski's blast from distance left the keeper no chance as it sailed into the upper corner. Zekiroski nearly doubled his tally minutes later, but a brilliant save from Kevin East kept the scoring at 3. In the final 15 minutes Gambino closed out the scoring for the day with a shot from 35 yards out that caught the keeper of guard as it blew past him over his head and into the top netting. A very strong performance by the gialloblu and the team looks to build on this performance on Saturday when the team will play for the coveted Skyline Cup trophy.
