Sunday September 28

Summery weekend, hot and sunny at game time.  The turf is covered with dew.  Stevie P and Kevin joined us, together with guests from last week, Steve, Bhoot and Martin.  Steve left almost immediately with a pulled quad.  Doug Adams in the white net, Steve and then Doug in for blue.  We started 12 blue vs 14 white.

7:48 Keeble for white, 1-0
7:49 Steve P for white, 2-0
7:55 Marlen for blue, 2-1

and that was it,  No pressure to get off the field but guys don't seem to want to continue.  Rich had a good game today, Bobby as always and Chompan the chop man with a hat trick!  See you next week at 7:30.

Sunday Sept 21

Not many at 7:30 game time, but we eventually got up to 14 v 14.  It rained a little last night and it's still misty but warm.  Three guests, Bhoot, Steve & Martin.  Steve G in the blue net for a short while, he took himself out after the first play due to injury.  Doug R showed up and took over.  Field players took turns in the white net.

So we started early but played till ten anyway.  Next week 7:30 start.

Sunday September 7

Friday and Saturday were hazy hot & humid, but it rained last night and this morning it is cool and clear, a perfect September day for soccer.  We started early today to get our game in before the football team takes over the field, just not as early as I had reported. My apologies to Joakim, apparently the only reader of this blog.  Anyway, by 7:30 we had about 23 including one guest, Boot?  Doug A in the white net, Steve in the blue.  St Rocco arrived with six shiny new balls.

8:50 head of George to head of Jeff, 5-3

8:59 Jay for blue, 5-4

I propose a new rule:  Only goals Jake scores with his left foot shall count.
