NCC comes from behind to win 2-1 on a wet field at St. Henry today. They get their first goal on a pk to tie and then have a nice goal by Louis (i think) after a cross or carom in the box. St. Henry went ahead during the first half off of a goal by Grome.

 

Much better game than the first match up during the All A.

Correction, Louis took the first shot and Connolly scored the goal off of the carom.
