McFayden’s deflected shot went home late in the match as FCB added an insurance goal after GCC had cut the deficit to 2-1.
FCB is grateful for the opportunity to play GCC at such a good venue, and thanks Coach Gavin and his staff, as well as the traveling members of The Situation Room.
We’re also extremely grateful to Ryan Hasenauer and the folks at Thurman’s 34 Rush inside of Batavia Downs Gaming for a buffet dinner and another great evening in Batavia.
Trialists Ali Mohamed (Yemen Elite) and John Netter (Queenston FC) of the BDSL performed well in their FCB debuts.
