8/30/22:  LNC 0 - Cannon 4
Everyone worked hard on a very, very hot field! The defense held Cannon scoreless in the first half. Sean Byrne had a great game at central defense beside Graham Booker. LNC had 9 goal kicks which shows how well they defended. The midfield players had a lot to do. Special thanks to Caleb Smith and Liam Hart for their hard work.
