Sunday June 5

Cool, like 60, and partly cloudy. Perfect soccer weather. There was some debate about game time being 7:30 or 8 so a bunch of guys were there early. Four guests: Jake is back from Africa, my son Will, Erin, Will's brother's girlfriend, and Jeff. Plenty of players to start at 8, with Steve in the blue net and Mark Schwartz in for white. When Doug and the other late sleepers arrived we had 14 v. 14.

Joe Bagels for white 1-0
Rocco! for blue 1-1
Joe again 2-1
Mark S for white 3-1
Joe again 4-1
Keebs for white 5-1
Shamoo for bloo! 5-2
Keebs again 6-2
Joe again 7-2
Juan for blue 7-3
Joe again 8-3

Then we got kicked off by a bunch of little boys at 9:45. It seems Bucky's "old guy" defense didn't work that well for team blue. Or maybe the fact that all the guest players were on the white team had something to do with it. Whatever. Rocc says he submitted an application to use the field on Wednesday evenings, but school is still in session and the field is still being used. Mario says he plays in Franklin Lakes on Thursday evenings, ETA? I forgot to mention last week that Super Mario moved to Boston, so we won't be seeing much of him for a while.
