GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Grand Rapids FC, a first-year semi-pro team, got in its final scrimmage Friday before its debut May 9 so, of course, coach George Moni wasn't satisfied.

"No, I wasn't, and I told the boys that," he said after the club topped Aquinas College 2-0 at MVP Sports. "We had about four or five chances in the second half that we could have converted, and we had chances in the first half as well."

That said, Moni also understood the team was overly pumped with the season set to start in a week.

"I think the chances in the second half were due to fatigue," he said, noting he had 16 players available for the afternoon match. "There was low structure defensively where players were out of position, eager to do too much. I understand that. They have energy. We just have to put that energy in the right place."

Domenic Barone, formerly from East Kentwood and Michigan State, scored both goals - in the fifth and 21st minutes. Mark Barone, who later left with a minor knee injury, and Ahmad Bah picked up assists.

Beau Prey played the first 60 minutes in goal; Jesse Guevara finished.

The scrimmage was played before about 500 who lined the fences to watch,

"You couldn't ask for much more from a Friday afternoon game," owner Matt Robert said. "I think a great day all around to get the team together and give the fans a chance to see them."

The community-funded team, which includes more than 560 members, will play in the fourth division Great Lakes Premier League.

Grand Rapids FC begins the season May 9 at Lansing United. The first home game is May 30 against AFC Ann Arbor at Houseman Field. Roberts said more than 800 tickets have been sold.
