the officiating from the girls match was superb. Fans questioned the three minutes of added time however take the following into consideration, there were 4 goals and 3 cautions issued in the second half. Also foothill was wasting time during stoppages. Yes the referee’s got yelled at by the foothill crowd, some of the students (who had been drinking) even approached the officials on the field after the game. A foothill fan also threw a bottle at the center official as he left the field.

What a shameful display of sportsmanship from a group of parents and students.

Amazing atmosphere in Dublin 3A finals last nite – an excellent call to have a double-header like this. NCS Planners should do this every year.

One nit from the boys game – only 1 game ball, and no ball spotters to retrieve the only ball. NCS Planners – lets get some spotters for the games – get a few 12 year olds and give them concession tickets in exchange.

The only questionable call was the amount of stoppage time added. One of those in our group calculated 3 minutes, perhaps it was more.

A few Foothill parents showed no class booing the referees and yelling ‘you suck’ when they walked off the field. I was embarrassed to be from Pleasanton for that instant. Foothill had plenty of chance to put the game away.

A friend of mine at the match said SRV dominated the second half and deserved to win, but that there were also some questionable officiating. Is there anything to that or is it just your standard high school officiating?

The NCS Soccer Playoff committee should be commended for finally realizing they could highlight East Bay HS soccer by having the Boys & Girls 3A championships in a doubleheader format at a neutral East Bay site (Dublin). This will surely bring out a larger crowd and a great atmosphere.

Fans will come to see if the the Foothill girls can lay claim to the title “Greatest East Bay High School Team Ever” with a win to cap an amazing 22-0 (yea, that’s 22-0, NO TIES) season.

In the nitecap, SRV and DLS will clash to see who is the EBAL and NCS King for the year. SRV is coming off their best game of the year with the win over Richmond in the semis. DLS was pushed to OT by Newark. Should be a great game.

Now..the only thing better would be if the games were at 1 pm /3 pm… but you can’t get everything.

I just got back from watching San Ramon Valley beat Richmond 3-1. De La Salle beat Newark 2-1 in overtime.
Acalanes beat Piedmont in a shootout and O’Dowd beat Las Lomas 3-0.

DLS has played all the heavy hitters and come out on top. The only team that has a shot is Richmond.
