The day we lost to Atticus, Orlando and Butters...

To round off the week, two friendlies against strong academy sides giving coaches the opportunity to use fresh players and rest some battered legs from earlier conflicts. Florida's IMG had previously won this tournament and were certain to be a tough test. Lewisham started promisingly and played some sharp football culminating with a goal from Shane Collins which he admits was intended as a cross, and a mysterious penalty that was given for an outrageous Omar Folkes dive and then never happened for reasons known only to the referee. It all seemed suspiciously easy, unfortunately the Lewisham team didn't react when IMG changed their line-up, bringing on some of their big guns in the middle and up front and the tide of play changed dramatically. After the disappointment of the tournament group and a week of hard football in the Dallas sun, the boys didn't have the stomach for this particular fight and IMG ran out comfortable 2-1 winners.
