Chapin and Irmo battled hard for 80 minutes with more opportunities for Irmo than for Chapin during the first half, which ended 0-0. The highlight shot of the first half was hit by Kyle McEwan when he turned a ripped a shot from the top of the box that went just over the crossbar.
Both teams again fought hard in the second half of play with less possession by Irmo as Chapin mounted various attacks. In the final two or three minutes of play Irmo forward, Kyle McEwan, capitalized on a counter attack by connecting with forward, Taylor Varney, on a beautifully placed diagonal pass to his feet as Varney split the Chapin defenders to gain possession.
Varney exhibited tremendous composure as he drew senior Chapin keeper, Gregory DeMare, out as he attempted to make the save. Taylor touched the ball to the outside of his right foot ultimately beating DeMare with a well placed shot in the back of the net for the winning goal.
The Irmo win means Irmo retains the Superintendents Cup for 2008. Congratulations boys!
Irmo prepares for region rival Lexington on Friday of this week.
