Clinton FC falls to OR in heartbreaking loss
Clinton Football Club suffered its second loss of the season last week, falling to Oak Ridge, 4-3, in a heartbreaking match.
Clinton defeated Oak Ridge, 7-3, in a friendly earlier this season.
“It was a heartbreaker,” CFC Coach Jake McMurray said. “You had two evenly matched teams out there, and we were going at it. It could’ve gone either way.
“It was a hard-fought match, and we played well. They had a really good goalkeeper, and he flipped the field on us.”
Juan Zorro scored twice for Clinton, and Samuel McMurray also found the back of the net for CFC, a team made up of student-athletes from Clinton Middle School.
“Oak Ridge and Gibbs are the two best teams in our league, and we lost to both of them,” coach McMurray said. “But we beat Oak Ridge in a friendly, and I’m really happy with our development.”
CFC played Karns on Monday, but results were unavailable at press time.
