The high school turf field is being used for a 5K race today so at the appointed game time of 9AM a few of us met at Traphagen. Just like the old days. The day was beautiful, sunny and 50 degrees. Joe M decided on the later start and didn't even show up. Next week, and until further notice, it's 8AM. There is a 10AM game next week, but if we start our game promptly at 8 we should be OK.
Anyway, we started 7 v 7 on the smaller field and got up to 9 v 10 and stayed on the small field. The bumpy and slippery grass made fools of us all. Doug then Bobby in the blue net, Keith, then Kevin in the white. The white team was going downhill for the entire game which probably accounts for the score. Errant shots by the whities go over the fence and into the woods.
Scoring as follows:
Mario for white 1-0
" " " 2-0
Super Mario for white 3-0
" " " 4-0
" " " 5-0
Shamu for blue 5-1
Scott Rosner for blue 5-2
Mario 6-2
Jimmi for blue 6-3
Chopman for blue 6-4
Jimmi again 6-5
Super Mario 7-5
Then exhaustion set in. After the game a bunch of guys stayed to hang out in the shade by the Porta-Potty to clean their cleats and reminisce about the good old days.
