Sunday July 29

The heat wave has morphed into a period with constant threat of thunderstorms.  It rained last night and it's cloudy, humid, but not too hot at game time.  We started with 12 v 13, pretty good numbers considering.  Aikaz & Minor are back, Danny, Eric, Billow, Jelly are back, Bobby seems a little more ambulatory, no Frank, no Lightspeed Joe or Joe Bagels.  Minor in the white net, Doug in the blue, the blue team chooses to defend the uphill side of the field for a change.

Rocculous from Dan to get the blue team on the board, 1-0
Little Joe for white, 1-1
Mario to Jelly (own goal) 1-2
Keebs from Mario, with a hit!  1-3

Of all the hundreds of goals scored and hundreds more to come, this will be one the great Keebow will remember.  A perfect feed from Mario on the left across the goal mouth to Keebs on the right, he caught it in full stride and just smashed it from about the 15, right foot, right on target, in spite of the dogged defense by me.  Well done lad.

Mario from Keebow, nicely done, 1-4
Jelly finally gets one for the blue, 2-4
Kaz comes right back for white, 2-5
Mario, 2-6
Shamu for blue, 3-6

Some guys left, Doug and Minor came out of the nets, Kevin went in for white, Keith and Mark Schwartz took turns for blue, and we played on, 9 v 9.  Back and forth, three on two break aways thwarted, time after time.  The legs are weary, but there's no quit in this bunch.  We played on, well past our official 10 AM quitting time, but no one can score, until an unlikely hero, Doug, puts one in the net for blue to end it, at 10:30, 4-6.
