With goalkeeper Mathew Sidhou turning in his best performance of

the season behind an unflinching back line, Poison, an AYSO Region 56

boys Under-12 soccer team, defeated the Hornets, 6-1, Monday night.

Two goals by Mark Cassidy and one by striker Luke McGarry gave Poison a

3-0 lead at the half, and Lonnie Watson added a fourth goal early in the

second half off a fierce drive.

After the Hornets pulled to within 4-1, McGarry’s twin brother, Joe, and

Matt Monaco each added single goals for the final margin of victory.
