Richard O‘Brien Chronicle Staft When trouble around the net starts it tends to follow a team around. Such was the case for Waterloo Athletics when they tried but failed to pick up two points against the lowly Orientals Friâ€" day night at Seagram Stadium. They had to settle for a 1â€"1 with Orientals, a team that has yet to pick its first win the season in the Kitchener and District Soccer League‘s first division. And if you could say Athletics had trouble around the net, referee Munif Dakkak would say the same about those who lined the field for Athletics‘ first game on their home turf. Briefly put, Dakkak noticed that the dimensions of both the 18yard box and the inner box from which goal kicks are taken were far off. That, however, didn‘t contrib ute to Athletics‘ problems. They had one goal by Marcel Desâ€" meules on a neat setâ€"up by midfielder Liam McFarlane, but generally they were either unâ€" lucky or off the mark. Athletics take a tie An Orientals defender made a good play to block a header from Desmeules at the side of the net. Mike Houston missed an open net from close range and many other longer shots went wide. Mike Sterzon scored for Orienâ€" tals on one of their few opportunâ€" ities. Athletics coach Dave Pearcey was happy with his club‘s ball control but felt his forwards were offside too often because midâ€" fielders weren‘t getting the ball to them quickly enough. ‘"‘We have this problem that 1 call ‘dwell time‘ in the midfield," said Pearcey. ‘"We take too long to use our wingers. We weren‘t breaking out fast enough from the midfield." Friday‘s game marked the return of centre forward Simon Breese from a badly cut knee. Gareth Thompson was brought up from the secondâ€"division Athâ€" letics FC to help fill in for suspended sweeper Bruce Holâ€" lamby, a player Pearcey refers to as the "backbone‘"" of Athletâ€" ics‘ defence. Athletics expect to be without McFarlane when they play host to Hrvat on Saturday at 2 at Seagram Stadium. Athletics FC, meanwhile, had to goals from Greig Heideman to tie 22 with Gueiph Albion on Sunday. They meet Barzotti toâ€" night at 7 at Seagram.
