Match commentary:

Shaky Davenport holds on and is first sure to advance!

In a less than exciting match the reopened VexCup began today with a
much-improved Maryport giving Davenport a hard time.  The two had met in
the WHCON 98, at that time DAV clearly prevailing, but this time it took
the Men in Royal a good portion of luck to come away with the win.  A
refreshed Maryport was a good match to the higher estimated Davenport,
and in phases actually dominated the game.  Davenports somewhat lucky
winning goal off a deflected free kick off Wang Chung attack stalwart
Tzeng came close to the end, and really does not do the Leprechauns
justice.  Again strong showings by Harbour, who scored, and Gaspe, as
well as Gadebirk, Axelsen, and substitute Mertz after the break.
With two wins, Davenport is now certain to advance to the next round.
Meanwhile, only a very high win by Maryport over Mauretanie on Nov. 8
can see them on to the next round.
