Sunday Novemeber 14

I need to get this out of the way so I can commence my recovery.  The storm Sandy was everything they promised and more.  Everyone lost power, trees down everywhere, the shore is decimated, miles long gas lines with odd even rationing.  But many of us are back up, of the 20 who showed up anyway.  So we started at 9AM Eastern Standard Time, a beautiful sunny cool and breezy morning, with 9 white vs 10 blue, Mark S in the blue net, Eric in the white, followed by Kevin and then Jamal.

Jeff to Lightspeed Joe for blue to get off to a good start, 1-0
Imad for white, 1-1
Rocc for blue, 2-1
Dominic shows up and goes to the white side to even up the sides at 10 each,
Rosner for white, 2-2
Mario to Imad, 2-3
Imad puts a corner kick in, helped by the wind a a tap by Mark S, 2-4
Jeff to Jelly with a spectacular leaping twisting header, for blue, 3-4
Dominic pops one in for white, 3-5
Imad all alone, 3-6
Jelly, 4-6
Lots of chippy calls: hands, offsides etc and plenty of collisions but it was a pretty animated match.  We should have traded sides after the break, the wind was a definite factor in favor of the white team.  Jamal's goal kicks were being fielded by Mark S in the penalty box.  10 v 10 on full field means everybody has a lot of opportunity to contribute.  Hope you guys who didn't show up are OK.  See you all next week at 9.
