By: JANE WALSH

This past Saturday, home side Lansdowne utilized an expansive approach as they displayed their best performance of the season. After a brief absence, Blake Mannion made a welcome return to the pitch and impacted immediately. In the 5th minute after a lengthy sprint, center Mannion fortuitously chipped ahead towards Man of the Match EJ Brutus, who emphatically slammed down in the corner. The conversion by Austin Purcell gave Lansdowne a 7-0 advantage. Four minutes later, the Connecticut out half slotted a penalty from in front of goal after several effective phases. In the 11th minute, the Yankees got to within 1 as a Lansdowne infringement gave the visitors another shot at goal. For the next 26 minutes, the match was played evenly as neither side was able to breach the opposition's defense. However, in minute 38, Lansdowne advanced into Connecticut territory and earned a shot at goal. Austin Purcell's conversion gave Lansdowne a 10-6 halftime lead.
