In a repeat of last Friday's encounter at Cedar Lane Park in Bel Air, the Baltimore Bohemians drew with Shantilly, VA-based Evergreen FC, who has an "affiliation" with West Ham United. The attendance was (by my own way of counting) around 200. There were no "hardcore supporters" at the game, and the renters of Bonvegna Field charged the Bohs $3,000 for the season, which they could not pay. Evergreen scored the first goal due to a Bohs player missing his hair tie when it fell out during play. When the equipment manager attempted to hand the tie over to him, he did not realize that coach Mike Marciano, who is an assistant coach at Loyola, had the wingers swap. The Bohs got the game-tying goal in the 2nd half, and they had more chances, but did not convert.
Overall, I think the biggest problem with the Bohs is their shape. If the equipment manager (who has been with the team since day one) cannot name the tactic the coach is playing with, this is a bad sign. (Not for the equipment guy, but for the coach.) Their number 5 (no one got a roster sheet) was running up and down the left wing all night, and did not receive any passes until the 2nd half late. This is a bad sign if they continue to play this way. Their next home game is June 5.
