Sunday December 29

30 and overcast at game time. Big rain in the forecast but it held off and it even warmed up a bit. Perfect weather for soccer, but its kind of a thin showing at 8:20 kick-off so we invited a father son group out kicking a ball around to join us.  Eric brought a friend, Barry.  Juan showed up late and brought a friend, Jamal showed up late and brought a friend, so we eventually got up to 25 players.  Keebs is back but his foot hasn't healed completely so he left early. New Doug in the blue net, white players take turns.

5 for Rosner plus a few more that were dis-allowed but he was guarded by an out of shape & hung over 60 year old.

Supposed to be cold and clear New Year's Day so we'll see you at 8.

Thursday December 26, Boxing Day

Cold (29) and grey at game time, and it might have gotten colder as the game went on. Rocc brought Jake, Jay brought Justin, new Doug brought Doug and Will is home from DC.  We also had Brian join us, guest of Miller.  9 v 9 on a shortened field, Doug in the white net, blue took turns.

Miller scored again with a beautiful toe poke, Justin had a hatty, lots of other goals scored, blue wins.

See you Sunday at 8.  There's talk of playing next Wednesday, January 1.

Sunday December 22

Dunno.  Field was still iffy last night, mostly snow covered, but it was a warm night and the field was playable at game time.  But it was raining too, I went to work!

Merry Christmas too all, see you next week.

Apparently the snow melted and the field was clear at game time, 60 plus degrees, overcast.  M Miller reports about 20 or so players showed up, and that he scored a goal.

Sunday December 8

I was away, but apparently close to full sides played.
