Sunday March 13

Cloudy windy and 44 at game time. The snow is long gone, and the boys are ready to play. We had as many as 34 people show up today, and 30 on the field at one time. Guests included our friend Joe Diedrichs, Eddie Mulane, Dennis and George. Ted's brother played for about ten minutes and left due to crowding.

Doug in the blue net, guest George, who was apparently invited by Keeper Steve, in the net for white. Keith left early with some ailment, Kennington stayed til halftime, as usual, Tom left at about the half and Juan and Joe Bagels came into the game. Scoring was started by Keebs for the white and it went like this:

Keebs 1-0

Shamu 1-1

Kennington 1-2

Shamu again 1-3

Dom for white 2-3

Keebs again 3-3 (garbage goal)

Jordan for white 4-3 with a scorcher that Doug stopped, only he stopped it inside the net;

Joe Bagels ties it up 4-4 where we finished as a bunch of little girls kicked us off the field.

No goals were scored by Mario, Super Mario, Jay, Eddie, Fernando or Tom thanks to the blue defense anchored by Bobby and Doug. Player of the day goes to Doug, without a doubt. Player of the week deferred till next week, too many players today to sort it out.

Next week, or soon anyway, we should start to enforce the 26 players on the court rule. This is the responsibility of the 27th player to show up.
