Sunday March 24

Late announcement of 8 o'clock start time, but we still had enough guys to play.  It's cold, but clear, probably would be real nice an hour later.  Big surprise is Doug in the blue net, Steve is back and tending the white net.

Light-speed Joe scores one for blue to get things started, 1-0
A hand ball by me leads to a free kick by Mario finally scored by Will for white, 1-1
Eric's friend Tomaso joined the blue team, LS Joe left complaining of a pulled muscle,
Jeff to Rocco! for blue, 2-1
Keebs gets one past the sun-blinded Doug, for white, 2-2
Keebs follows up with a corner kick to the head of Jonny Billow, 2-3
So around nine o'clock the clueless start to arrive and we went from a tough 10 v 11 game to 14 a side. Jay brought his son Justin and Juan brought his friend again.
Tomas to Jeff, 3-3
Keebs again! 3-4
Minor gets one for blue, 4-4
Jeff, 5-4
Rocco! hits the post and Minor taps it in, but no score, off-sides, or something.  Whatever.  Blue wins again.

It seems the eight o'clock start and crowding will be the new normal for a while.  Please be ready to play at 8, and we'll cap the teams at 13 per side.  In a substitution situation, subs will sit out for ten minutes, then re enter the game.  Everybody will sit, including Jay and Mario, and no one will sit twice until everyone has sat out once.  It is probably not a good time to invite guests, but if you do please make it clear that they will have to leave the game if there are 26 paid members in attendance.
