Royals beat Rockers to seal second spot in OCSL
September 6, 2007
Ottawa Royals finished their season in some style, turning in a solid performance to defeat high-flying Rockers United 2-0 at Maple Leaf, leapfrogging them in the process to seal second place in the standings.
Sylvain Clouthier scored twice late in the encounter to give the home side the points, after an entertaining and competitive match. Jeff Dennis turned in an excellent performance, setting up Clouthier’s first goal and excelling in the second half.
The match marked the Royals’ third straight shut out and the team has scored ten unanswered goals in the process.
A final flurry on the injury and unavailability list meant an experimental line up in part, with Dom Rochon sufficiently recovered from injury to play 90 minutes. Frank Dicaria donned the goalkeeping gloves, with Frank Zegers, Kevin Sheehan and James MacMillan in the back three. Dimitri Koutras started out right, with Ewan Lyttle in the defensive midfield role, Rochon partnered by Matt D’Angelo in an offensive midfield unit, and Jeff Dennis out left. Up front, Sylvain Clouthier and Ryan Devereaux were the two principle target men.
The game started as it carried on for much of the first half; both sides cancelling each other out and creating the occasional good chance that was either just wide or forced a good save from the keeper. Nonetheless, there was a pleasing flow to the game and it was played in a good spirit and was generally very competitive.
The Royals first good chance came on 22 minutes. Koutras played a good ball into to Ryan Devereaux, who cut in from the right and fired a thunderous shot at Romero in the Rockers goal. Romero could only parry the ball away, but recovered sufficiently to grasp it at the second chance.
The visitors were quick to respond and on 27 minutes, the excellent Jamar Dixon hit the outside of Dicaria’s post from an acute angle.
The Royals defended well in numbers, and despite the occasional fright, closed the Rockers down quickly and snuffed out any danger.
In the second half though, the tempo of the Royals’ game changed and the home side took control of the match. With Clouthier moved to right midfield and D’Angelo up front, the Royals had more purpose and vigour about their game, and fed both Clouthier and Dennis on numerous occasions.
On 50 minutes, Dicaria’s long clearance was controlled by D’Angelo, who swivelled and released Devereaux with one move. Devereaux was unable to keep his shot down and it flew inches over the crossbar.
The Royals forced a series of corners and Devereaux made space for another effort on 56 minutes.
The only surprise about the opening goal was that it took so long to come. On 84 minutes, Jeff Dennis received the ball on the left-hand side of the box and looped in a centre for Clouthier, who had made an angled run from the right. Timing his movement to perfection, Clouthier met the ball on the 6-yard box and powered it past the helpless Romero with his head.
On 90 minutes, Matt D’Angelo was upended in the box and the Royals were awarded a penalty. With Steve Kowlessar absent, Clouthier stepped up and thrashed it past the helpless keeper to make it 2-0 for the home team.
It was an excellent second-half performance from the Royals, who stepped up to the plate when faced with one of the stronger teams in the OCSL. Let’s not forget that the Rockers had already beaten both the Royals and St. Anthony’s this season – and this was only their second defeat of the season – so this was a very good win against an up-and-coming young side.
Jeff Dennis shaded Sylvain Clouthier for man-of-the-match, with Kevin Sheehan receiving an honourable mention.

Royals tame Lions in second straight shutout
August 30, 2007
Ottawa Royals won its third straight league game last night, recording its second straight shut out and defeating OCSL opponents by 4-0 for the second week in a row. Dimitri Koutras scored two well-taken goals, and Matt D’Angelo and Sylvain Clouthier scored the others, as the Royals dominated their Quebec opponents.
There was a distinct end-of-season feel to the game at Du Plateau, and despite their reduced numbers, the visitors were still able to field a strong side. Frank Dicaria returned in goal, and Frank Zegers, James MacMillan and Kevin Sheehan lined up in defence. In midfield, Dimitri Koutras played right and Thierry Ntwari left, with Alan Morgan getting his first start in central midfield along side Ewan Lyttle and Jeff Dennis. Matt D’Angelo and Ryan Devereaux teamed up together in attack.
The Royals pretty much dominated proceedings from the outset and opened the scoring early through an excellent goal from Dimitri Koutras. Ryan Devereaux worked well initially to get the ball to Jeff Dennis, whose fine through ball freed Koutras on the right. Koutras cut into the penalty area and let go an unstoppable shot, which cannoned in off the far post.
On 15 minutes, Matt D’Angelo doubled the score, taking advantage of Alan Morgan’s pass to calmly beat the keeper and score from 20 yards.
The game had a pleasing ebb and flow to it with the Royals doing just enough to keep the home side at bay and create chances of their own.
In the second half, the Royals had a lot more pep about their game and on 49 minutes, Sylvain Clouthier made the score 3-0. Clouthier took an eternity before rounding the keeper, but his finish was clinical.
On 81 minutes, the Royals scored their fourth thanks to Dimitri Koutras. Koutras latched onto a pass from Boyle and smashed the ball through the legs of the onrushing keeper Bignal.
All in all, it was good performance from the Royals, who have now scored twelve goals in their last three games.

Report: Ottawa Royals 4, Capital United 0
Royals cruise past Capital United to 4-0 victory
August 23, 2007
Ottawa Royals won their second straight match on Thursday, comfortably beating Capital United by a score of 4-0. Ryan Devereaux added to his growing reputation as one of the league’s finest finishers with two well-executed goals, while James MacMillan and Dan Cheney each scored one.
With Ewan Lyttle unable to start with a recurrence of his hamstring strain and Frank Dicaria not match fit, Michael Adams named striker Sylvain Clouthier in goal, with call up Kevin Sheehan at central defence, alongside Frank Zegers and Dan Deganutti. Thierry Ntwari started at right midfield, Jeff Dennis on the left, and James MacMillan, Jorge Gutierrez and Dimitri Koutras down the spine. Canadian University star Matt D’Angelo partnered the Halifax hit-man upfront.
The Royals opened the score early in the game, when on 5 minutes, Devereaux judged the wet conditions to perfections. Standing over a free kick some 20 yards out, Devereaux thumped a skidder along the ground, which Shaienks-Desrochers was unable to keep out.
On 10 minutes, Gutierrez came close to doubling the score with a blistering shot from well outside the box that just missed the upright by inches.
The Royals were dominating the encounter, passing the ball around comfortably in midfield and not allowing the visitors to settle on the ball. On 25 minutes, MacMillan got his name on the scoreboard following some fine work by Ntwari on the right. Ntwari collected a ball deep in the box and pulled it back to MacMillan who slotted home with aplomb.
The Royals maintained their pressure and Devereaux and Di Angelo both looked threatening from set pieces and open play.
The second half was a much chippier encounter with Capital United obviously sitting and seething about having to play a game this late in the season during the interval.
But the Royals were a match for anything that Capital United threw at them. On 62 minutes, Di Angelo fed Devereaux with an excellent through ball. Devereaux advanced into the box, rounded Wasslen in the visitors goal with ease and slotted in the Royals third goal of the evening.
The visitors were brighter in the second half, playing several of their Carleton players. Dovi had a good chance on 67 minutes, but blazed high over the bar.
On 78 minutes, Cheney finished off the scoring when his electric change of pace left all the defenders for dead. Racing into the box, he blasted the ball past Wasslen into the top corner of the net.
The game finished early because of bad light, which was the only decision the referee got right on the evening.

Report: Nepean Hotspurs 3, Ottawa Royals 4
Royals win the Ottawa Cup with defiant display
August 19, 2007
A Ryan Devereaux hattrick paved the way for the Ottawa Royals to win the Ottawa Cup on Sunday, defeating a brave Nepean Hotspurs side at the last and helping the Blues come back from a two-goal deficit.
The Royals were struggling to field a starting eleven at the beginning of the match, but could at least count on Antoine Lagarec in the nets, restoring Sylvain Clouthier to his striker’s role after his heroics in Thursday’s game against the Rockers.
With Alan Farant, Dom Rochon, Thierry Ntwari and Dimitri Koutras all playing injured, until Richard Boyle’s arrival ten minutes before kick off, the Royals had eleven players. Boyle’s arrival was timely, because within 90 seconds of the start, Rochon’s injury flared up again and he had to leave the field.
The Royals started brightly and Dimitri Koutras, playing out right, had the first opportunity to score on 4 minutes, following some good work from Thierry Ntwari on the left. Ntwari was having a bright opening on the left flank, causing Nepean’s right back all sorts of problems with his pace. On 7 minutes, his incisive pass to Steve Kowlessar almost produced the opening goal.
The Royals play followed a similar pattern to most games this season. Inventive and bright approach play that created chances for the hardworking attacking players. The Royals midfield, comprising Jorge Gutierrez, Steve Kowlessar and Richard Boyle, was winning most of the challenges, and not allowing the Hotspurs to settle.
On 25 minutes, the Royals almost opened the scoring. Ryan Devereaux had drifted out right to retrieve a ball, beat his man, cut to the by-line and then whipped in a cross for Richard Boyle. Boyle’s first time volley cannoned off the cross bar and went out for a goal kick.
Within two minutes though, the Royals were a goal down. Having started very well, the defence for once failed to deal with a bouncing ball and Mackey was on hand to belt the ball past the blameless Lagarec.
The Royals responded – and within four minutes, the excellent Devereaux almost found the equalizer, forcing an excellent save out of Rassi in the Nepean goal.
But on 35 minutes, the Royals went further behind following a well-taken goal by Allard.
This time, the Royals sparked into life – and within five minutes, they were back on level terms. First, on 38 minutes, Clouthier’s precise and powerful free kick from 20 yards out left Rassi no chance – and then sixty seconds later, Steve Kowlessar’s perfectly weighted pass released Ryan Devereaux at the edge of the box, and the Halifax striker curled the ball around the advancing keeper into the roof of the net.
The tide seemed to have turned, and the Royals mounted the pressure, stretching Nepean on the flanks and penetrating through the middle. On 40 minutes, late arrival Dan Deganutti had a powerful shot well saved and then sixty seconds later, Clouthier missed by inches following more excellent approach work.
The Royals were not to be denied, however, and on 44 minutes, Devereaux scored his second of the afternoon, converting at the second attempt from a Sylvain Clouthier pass.
In the second half, the game continued its frantic pace and somewhat against the run of play, Nepean managed an equalizer on 53 minutes, well taken by Barbosa.
The game was then dominated by the Royals, who probed and pushed, looking for their fourth goal. Clouthier and Devereaux both came close, but were denied by last-gasp defending or good goalkeeping.
Any counter attacks from the Hotspurs team were snuffed out by the excellent defensive core of James MacMillan, Frank Zegers, Alan Farant and Dan Deganutti.
As both teams began to tire in the merciless sun, it looked as if extra time would be needed to decide the final.
But from somewhere, the Royals found a little extra strength. Thierry Ntwari was awarded a free kick to the left of the penalty area, which Jorge Gutierrez stood over and took. He whipped in the ball with pace to the penalty area, where Devereaux twisted in mid-air to glance a header over the defenders into the roof of the net.
On the balance of play, it was no more than the Royals deserved – and was a fitting reward for the courage and strength shown by the team under very difficult and testing circumstances.
James MacMillan, stand-in captain for Dominic Rochon, lifted the trophy, which provides some consolation to the team for its efforts during a difficult season.

Brave Royals Go Down with a Fight
August 16, 2007
With barely eleven men left on their roster, Ottawa Royals were defeated 1-0 at Mooney’s Bay by a fine young Rockers side, their ranks swelled with Ottawa Fury players.
This was not an abject defeat however. Far from it. With no goalkeeper and striker Sylvain Clouthier “volunteered” to go in nets, captain Dom Rochon damaging his calf in the pre-game warm up, and Dan Deganutti absent until minutes before kick off, the Royals still held their heads up high and played a solid and committed game of football. Even after Donald MacGregor’s poached goal on 38 minutes, the Royals still looked the likelier of the two teams to score.
With Clouthier in nets, Michael Adams aligned Frank Zegers, James MacMillan and Kevin Sheehan at the back, with Ewan Lyttle, Jorge Gutierrez and Steve Kowlessar in the middle, Alan Farant and Dimitri Koutras on the flanks, and Richard Boyle and Ryan Devereaux up front.
Both sides started well – and it seemed the Rockers were keen to test out Clouthier in goal. On 5 minutes, Jorge Gutierrez caught a Rockers player in the face with his elbow while jumping for the ball. Amahazion played no further part in the game, and from that time on, Gutierrez was a marked man.
The Royals were the more dominant side, slightly, and Boyle and Devereaux combined well up front, being well fed by the excellent Steve Kowlessar.
On 16 minutes, the injury curse struck again, as Ewan Lyttle had to leave the field with a hamstring strain. Still the Royals probed, and Devereaux was proving a real handful for the home side defence.
On 38 minutes, MacGregor took advantage of a moment of uncertainty in the Royals defence to head the ball home and give the Rockers the lead.
In the second half, the Royals started to gradually take command of the game, although the home side was always dangerous on the counter and was nothing less than committed. Clouthier in goal was proving to have an excellent move, and when Alan Morgan replaced him in nets on 74 minutes, it was to move Clouthier up front and play with three.
Immediately the Royals stepped it up another notch, with Devereaux and Clouthier combining extremely well.
However, the Rockers held out till the final whistle and handed the Royals their second defeat on the bounce. A disappointing result, but a good performance from the visitors.

Report: Ottawa Royals 2, Gloucester Hornets 3
Lacklustre Royals get what they deserve
August 9, 2007
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Ottawa Royals, fresh from three convincing victories over tough opposition, were supposed to turn up, play well and pick up three easy points against basement dwellers Gloucester Hornets.
Apparently neither side read the script.
The result was a game of abject quality, where neither side was capable of stringing together a succession of decent passes, where basic mistakes were compounded with low intensity, where both sides struggled to get out of first gear, where communication and concentration were basically next to nil.
Gloucester Hornets deserved their victory. Fully and completely. There were no controversial decisions and no inexplicable offside calls. Gloucester Hornets have done the double over the Ottawa Royals, who appear to have learned nothing in the process.
The seeds of this latest humiliation were sown in training on Tuesday, where 11 people ambled through the motions during drills and then slowed down during the 5-a-side game at the end. The lack of intensity and desire was carried through to the game.
Make no mistake, this was a watershed defeat for the Royals.
The Royals started with their 3-5-2 system in place. Tyler Wallace was in goal, not fully recovered from his dislocated finger perhaps, and a back three of Marc Anthony Viscosi, Frank Zegers and Alan Farant. In midfield, Jonathan Brooks played his last game of the season before heading down to the States for college, Dom Rochon, Steve Kowlessar and Richard Boyle formed an offensive trio in the middle, and Dan Deganutti was on the left. Dimitri Koutras and Sylvain Clouthier led the attack.
The game started with the Royals on the offensive. On 3 minutes, Koutras was released by Boyle but his first time shot missed the target.
On 9 minutes, Gloucester took the lead, somewhat against the run of play, it has to be said. With Wallace in no man’s land and the defence at sixes and sevens, Wellington had the easy job of slipping the ball into the empty net.
The Royals were stunned and struggled to respond. Passes were underhit, channels unused, challenges not made. Still the home team managed to create a couple of chances, all of which were missed.
On 31 minutes, Michael Adams replaced Alan Farant with Jorge Gutierrez, dropping Dan Deganutti back to left back.
The response was instantaneous. With his first touch of the ball, Gutierrez released Clouthier who elected to blast the ball from the edge of the area. Lemieux made a good save to keep the visitors in front.
Two minutes later though, the scores were even. Clouthier whipped in a strong free kick that Lemieux could only parry. In rushed Gutierrez to nod the ball past him into the net.
It seemed as if the Royals had sparked into life. Several more chances were created and spurned, but at least the home side had moved into a higher gear for a brief period.
At half time, Adams replaced the hard-working Koutras with rookie striker Thierry Ntwari – but it was Gloucester who scored next, two minutes after the break.
Following a good period of Royals pressure, the Hornets broke quickly and Walker capitalized on abysmal defending to beat Wallace. Once more, avoidable mistakes lead to goals conceded.
On 65 minutes, Wellington scored his second goal of the game from the right wing.
Trailing 3-1 at home, the Royals finally started to exert an influence on the game. On came Kevin Sheehan to offer more height at set pieces and on 80 minutes, Boyle came back on for Lyttle, moving up front to provide a three-pronged attack.
As the Royals finally started fighting for every ball, they forced Gloucester back into their own half, penning them into the area and probing at every opportunity. Lemieux made a couple more fine saves to keep the visitors in the lead.
On 86 minutes though, the pressure finally started to pay dividends. Thierry Ntwari’s glancing header from Brooks’ corner hit the back of the net. And the Royals continued to pour forward in search of the equalizer.
On 90 minutes, Kevin Sheehan nearly got it, when his header was cleared off the line and Brooks’ resulting shot was hit over the bar.
It was too little, too late though for the Royals, who were left to rue 80 minutes of poor football.
There needs to be a response from the team now, starting in the very next training session and carrying on through to the end of the season. With four league games and the Ottawa Cup final left to play, there needs to be a refocusing of players and a reaffirmation of commitment.
Or else we may as well just not bother showing up.
