Memorial Day

70 degrees at game time, but its hotter on the turf. Sunny and clear with a light breeze, it's a beautiful day. Slow start in spite of the nice late nine o'clock start time, we eventually had 24 players. The blue had a fearsome offense, with Shamu, Jay, Carlos, Dan G. and Mike M. and they poured in the goals. Of course red had no keeper, with field players taking turns in the net. Red was missing their chief goal getter and spiritual leader, Keebo, so Mario, Tom, Jimmy and Joey had a lot of shoes to fill.

Biggest event of the day was when Jay retrieved a ball he sent far over the goal and into the woods. He received a well deserved ovation from both teams for his display of humility and sportsmanship.

Next week its back to 7am at the turf, then there has been some discussion of starting at 8 am for the rest of the summer. TBD
