Rusea's wary of Mile Gully threat

Vassell Reynolds, head coach of defending champions Rusea's High School, said the team is looking for revenge this afternoon, for their first leg defeat in the second round of the ISSA/WATA daCosta Cup against Mile Gully.

Mile Gully are seeded 32nd in the competition, which makes their 2-1 win last Wednesday a shocking result to some. Reynolds said that the seeding is not a reflection of the team's performance.

"I'm certain that this 32 ranked is not depicting of what I saw. I still think that my team is a better one and will show that (today), but one cannot get carried away with the seeding ranking. That was not what it looked like in terms of the competitiveness of the game on Wednesday," he said.

"One of the things I observed with this team is that some of the times we allow what seemed to be a fairly easy situation become very difficult," said Reynolds.

Reynolds hopes that with Rusea's playing a knockout match for the first time at the Collin Miller Sports Complex, the players can feed off that energy to do what is required of them to progress to the quarter-finals of the competition.

"I think the guys will need that extra push," he said. "I'm hoping though that the spectators will be a little bit patient with them and assist them in getting over the line."
