Sunday March 28

The mighty Waldwick Seniors were kicked off the magic carpet by a bunch of girls, again. We assembled at our old stomping grounds at Traphagen, but the big field was taken by a large group of Spanish speaking gentlemen, so we attempted to play on the small field. Overcast and cold, like 30 degrees at game time. The field is wet, unlined, and the goals are small. We had as many as 22 players at one point. Once again, scoring was started by Shamu for the blue, followed by a wild sprint down the field by Keeble. He got his goal, but pulled a muscle in his which hindered the rest of his game. The Reds racked up 6 unanswered goals, after which we switched sides so the Blues could attack going downhill. Players started leaving the field due to injury, prior commitment or lack of interest. Final score doesn't matter.

Looking ahead, it seems we will be pre-empted by girls again on April 18, and all of May. Next week is the annual Easter Sunday Jews vs. Pagans Game on the turf. The weather promises to be hot as hell. See you there.
