Sunday October 26

Sunny and cool at 7:30 game time, maybe six guys showed up on time.  One new guy and Reuben from last week, no keepers, no Keith.  We finally started at 7:50 with ten v ten, Jay showed up and joined the white team, then Shamoo showed up and he joined the white team as well.  The new kid left, Reuben took himself out of the game and Frank came over to the blue team.  In the words of the great Bob Mangione, "The bar is our friend."  The white team hit the cross bar at least a half dozen times today.

7:59 Marlen for blue, 1-0
8:04 Jeff for blue, 2-0
8:05 George heads one in for blue, 3-0
8:14 Marlen to Chompan, 4-0
Jay and Shamoo give the whites a two man advantage'
8:48 Keebs for white, 4-1
8:48 Teddy to Mario for white, 4-2
8:57 Jay bounces one of Bobby for an OG against blue, 4-3
8:59 Jeff 5-3
Reuben out Frank to blue
9:00 Mario to Jay, 5-4
Jay corner kick to head of George, 5-5
9:12 Keebs, 5-6
9:22 Kevin P for blues, 6-6
9:31 Mario to Vince, 6-7
9:34, George for blue, 7-7

And that's it.  Some kids seemed to be gathering for a practice or something, but no there's no pressure to leave the field. I guess an hour and a half of full field short sides tire out the guys.  Next week daylight savings time ends, whatever that means.
