Tomahawks defeated Leon FC *formerly Guameru* (6-2).
The referee spent too much time trying to be cool, instead of calling the game fairly.
From what 2 of the Tomahawks boys said after the game, the ref explained to the Tomahawks coach on why he would get on to the Tomahawks boys and not the Leon players.
Reason: "Because you guys are winning and I'm trying to keep these kids off my back".
Good thing the ref accessor or Classic League official was there behind the bench. Because from what I heard was told to the ref by this official, the official said "If I hear that again, I'll have your badge".
Lots of pushing and shoving and profanity.
Totally out of control.

No way, classic refs not doing their job?

I totally didn't mind him telling one of our boys to "shut up".
But when a Leon player yelled at the ref while pointing in his face, and the ref's backing up. Now that's a clear indication that this was going to be one-sided calling.
But, the Tomahawks boys handled their business perfectly.
3 regular defenders out with other commitments or injuries. The kids who took their places played well.

Not to slight Leon, they had 1 very good forward.
And the goalie saved a ton of shots with an injured hand. This game could have been a lot worse, so that young man did well, in my opinion.
