Match Report: Knights @ Barons Sunday, July 24, 2005 By Paul O'Donnell In the final regular season game the Barons produced a dominating performance defeating the Brooklyn Knights 6-0 on Sunday evening. It was easily the Barons best effort at both ends of the pitch over the final month of the season. A bit of irony too was part of the story as the Barons starting keeper was Nicolas Talarico, a 16 year old from the Barons youth programs. The Barons #1 GK, Ryan Carr suffered a shoulder injury in Friday night's win over Westchester and watched from the sideline as the Barons produced their only clean sheet of the regular season in this final match. |
