Sunday November 30

A storm on Wednesday left us with 2" of heavy wet snow.  No go for Friday but the Waldwick High School Football team is still in the running for state champs and they were good enough to clear about 35 yards of turf for us.  13 showed up, including Joakim & Will Gilchrist, the sun came out and it was a beautiful morning of indoor rules with lacrosse nets.  Forecast seems to indicate we'll be back in action next week.

44 and overcast at game time, perfect.  The clouds eventually burned off and it's a beautiful fall day.  23 or so guys, Doug A back in the white net, Steve in the blue, no guests.

9:52 Mario to end it, 6-9

Nice match today.

A word about latecomers:  First, don't come late. In fact everyone should arrive 10-15 minutes early to allow sufficient time for stretching, warming up and policing the field. Several of us do just that. One time Steve actually had a legitimate excuse for coming late: the train he was riding hit a car.

Next, if you do show up late, please take the time to stretch and warm up.  Then count the number of players on each team and join the team with fewer players.  If the sides are even, join the team that is behind in scoring.  If field players are manning the goals, go in as keeper.  If there are already 12 players per side, it will be necessary to wait for someone else to leave the game before coming in.  If there are guest players, a guest should immediately leave the field to allow a paid member to come in.  Anyone who invites a guest has to make it abundantly clear that the guest cannot play if 24 paid members show up. That's it.

Sunday November 2

Windy and 45 at game time, but time change and new start time of 8 encouraged a big turnout.  We started a little after 8 with 12 v 12 and capped it at that.  Doug Adams in the blue net for the first time maybe ever, Doug R in the white net.  Jay showed up late and in spite of the fact that two guys were waiting patiently for their chance to come he waded right in.  We asked him to wait his turn and he went home in a snit.  There were in fact several guests who should have left the game to make room for paid in full members.  Next time.  The two subs joined the game and we played on 13 v 13.

8:07 Mario for white, 1-0
8:17 Mario, 2-0
8:37 Jeff for blue, 2-1
8:42 Mario, 3-1
8:53 Mark S for white, 4-1
8:54, Vince for white, 5-1

At about nine we switched ends due to the powerful breeze, Eric left and Mark S came over to the blue team;

Keebs for white, 6-1
9:24 Minor to Chompan for blue, 6-2
9:52 White corner to Keebs with a goal line tap in, 7-2
9:58 we relinquished the field to the Waldwick boys soccer team.

The scoring shows that the wind was a factor, but without Bobby, Mario had his way with Frank giving the whites lots of opportunities.  See you next week.
