Sunday July 28

Completely overcast and forecast is for rain, but by 8:09 we had enough guys to get going, and soon after we had 24.  Steve in the white net, blue team took turns keeping, fifteen minutes each seems to work pretty good.

Great game today, nobody left early for yoga lessons or anything else.  12 v 12 is a good number, not too crowded.  No injuries, no fights, hot but not too hot, just a lot of good soccer.

Sunday July 22

After a seven day heat wave, it's still hot, maybe a little less so.  Frank's back from Italy, Mark S is back from England, Jerry's kids and Jerry are here so we played with 22 guys, 10 white vs 12 blue it seems.  No professional keepers today.

Sunday July 14

After a week of hot with constant chance of storms we're about to embark on another heat wave.  But today isn't too bad to start, it got  hot later.  We started late, maybe 9 v 9, new kid Dave Das is back.  Eventually we got  23 players without Mark, Mark, Jay or Keith.  We started with Doug keeping for blue, nobody for white, then Bobby stepped in and Steve finally arrived.

Sunday July 7

And the hot weather continues.  There was a meeting of some members on the 4th, 12 or 14 guys is about all I know.  Today we started late, but had as many as 23 players at one point.  New kid Dave invited by Mike.  Nets were tended by field players trying to conserve energy.  It's damn hot.

Sunday June 30

Another hazy hot and humid one.  We started late with 9 v 9, Doug in the blue net, no one in the white, Keith wearing his blue shirt, Bobby his white.

Drink break.  The sides got up to 10 v 10 and white put some players in the net but the sides are obviously unbalanced.  After the break the blue team takes the north side of the field, leaving Doug behind to keep for the white team.  M Schwartz keeping for blue.

Minor to Cee to Rocc, 9-1
Ted for white, 9-2
George for white, 9-3
Rocc to Cee, 10-3
and that's it.  We finished a little early, but its damn hot and short sides means everyone got to run a lot.
