Nobody, least of all Bruce Munro, expected much out of the soccer team when the season began. For all practical purposes, the team seemed doomed way back last Spring, when Bent Hinze and Dragon Vujovic came to a parting of the ways with Mother Harvard, leaving only Felix Adedeji to take up the scoring slack. With Adedeji sitting out the last six games with a twisted knee, Munro has to dig deep into his bag of tricks to produce a winner...
Nobody can fault Adedeji for the unfortunate string of injuries he has suffered in the last two seasons and his long periods of convalescence.
