“The fans the supporters, I tell you, I got goosebumps before the game,” said Tommy Wheeldon Jr. after the game. “And it was just special. We talked to the guys before the game, go out and give them a show. Everyone’s been struggling through this COVID for different reasons. Put on a show for them.”
“First half I thought we were average. Second half we showed our character and our grit.”
The result lifts Cavalry FC to third place, one point behind first place Valour FC.
