On Saturday July 12 2008, the No. 1 San Diego (1-1) hosted their first home game of the season against the No. 6 Orange County Bombers (1-1). The game was played at the Naval Training Center on a magnificent patch of wide green turf perfect for an open game of footy. It was a fitting setting for the continuation of two old rivals.
The game began at the frantic pace as each team was determined to gain possession of the ball through the center of the field. A quick OC goal not long from the opening bounce was a warning to the home side that lapses in concentration would be swiftly punished.
San Diego tightened up their marking and a footy arm-wrestle ensued as all players went hard at the ball. Some textbook football through the center of the field saw the Lions bag their first with a Paul Hanton lead and goal. Late in the quarter, OC snapped a missile from an impossible angle in the pocket, splitting the uprights directly in two. Yet, San Diego managed to put one more up before the siren, and after the first quarter the score line reflected the tight contest as both teams were locked at 2 goals 3 a piece.
