Sunday November 11

Two weeks since hurricane Sandy and things are still not right.  It will probably be quite a while.  But its partly sunny, 50 degrees, a perfect day for soccer.  We started 9 v 9, full court, Doug in the blue net, Mark S in the white.

Lightspeed Joe starts it, with a nice feed from Jeff, for blue, 1-0
Jeff, 2-0
Jay, 3-0
Jeff again, 4-0
we discussed trying last man box shoot in the box, but no.  Mark came out of the goal to be replaced by Jamal then Kevin
Mark S to Mario for white, 4-1
Marlen to Jeff, 5-1
Carlos all by himself for white, 5-2
Jamal for white, 5-3 off a bad goal kick by me
Jay with a beautiful pass to the head of Jeff, 5-3
Rocco for blue, 6-3
we had a switch, Lightspeed Joe to white, Mark Forrest to blue,
Mario to Jamal, 6-4
Jeff steals a throw-in, 7-4
Carlos leaves, Mark Forrest leaves
Jay loops one in, 8-4
Jay again, 8-4
Mario, 8-5
water break, then we resumed 8 v 8 shortened field, Doug to the white team, Kevin to Blue,
Jeff, 9-6
Rocc, 10-6
Keith left, bike ride you know,
Jeff, 11-6
Marlen, 12-6
and that was it, we're done at 10:45.  Fair enough, there's a game at 11.  In fact next week we may have to adjust our start time because of the school and league games that were postponed by Sandy.

I want to encourage you all to participate in the annual Dick Meighan 5k run Thanksgiving morning.  It gives you a great excuse for your condition for the rest of the day.  http://www.dickmeighan5krun.org
