It's 40 degrees and drizzly, perfect soccer weather.  Slow start but we got up to 12 v12.  Steve in the blue net, Dougy, Kevin, Keith, then Doug in for white.  Steven P and Brian are our  guests, no Imad, Mario , Shamu or Jamal.  Wide open game for a while.  White offense with Jelly, Cee, Kee, Lazer Dave, Little Joe, Vicent are dominant but turned back time after time by team 180. That's right, 180 years of experience beteween Bobby, Frank and me!  Steve P left early with a pulled hammy.  Mike the Wizard playing for Team Blue.  Late in the game keeeper Steve is shivering and praying for it to  end.

Rocco to son Steve to get the blues going, 1-0
Jeff to Minor, again for blue, 2-0
Vince to Adam, from the top of the key with a smasher. Unbelievable, I know!, 2-1
Carlos corner kick to Jeff bounces out, rocket in by Mike the Wizard, 3-1
Guest Brian to Count Rocculous, 4-1
Keebs, from Cee, 4-2
Jeff, 5-2
My balls to Jay to Minor, 6-2
Keebs with a briliant move betweenst the legs of Mike, to out of bounds, still 6-2
Vince and Jelly with a two one against Steve, shoot wide, still 6-2

It was a grand game, lots of opprtunities for everyone.

Cheating:

I'm sorry but I feel it's necessary to bring this up as the season winds down.  Some of our  more respected players are involved in practices that I think should be reviewed by our community at large:
First, I have to call out Adam Keeble.  At his own admission, he does not drink on Saturdays, so as to be at his best on Sunday morning. This seems to me to be a clear and egregious violation of the spirit of our club.

Next is Mark Miller.  I have seen him running during the week, attempting to improve his endurance beyond what everyone else of us achieves by our once-a-week sprees.  We need a clearer policy on extra currriccula training.

Next week we wil meet a little earlier, 8:30 if everything goes according to plan. The second part of the plan is to meet at the ABG, Alendale Bar and Grill, for a proper futbol game on TV  and some holiday revery.  I think everybody is in favor.
