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.

Yo to Mu with a nice little pirouette move for white, 1-0
Jeff on an empty net for blue,  1-1

Halftime @ 9.  We switched George from blue for Rich and Big Blond Dave arrived and joined the whites.

Mike, 3-8
Vince for blue, 3-9

Rosner gets a hatty and nobody wants to play any more, but we almost made it to 10.

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.

Mario to Jay at 8:32 for white, 1-0
Keeble to Mario who bounces it off the post and then puts in the rebound, at 8:33, 2-0

Half time water break at 9:00
Jeff with a keeblesque tap-in after some confusion between Kevin & Keith, 2-4
Jeff again, 2-5
Mario, 3-5
New Guy Dave, 4-5

And that was about all we could take. We quit early, but it's 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.

Rocc on an open net, for blue, 1-0
Jay to Keeble for white, 1-1
Minor off a long kick from Doug on an open net, 2-1

Mike to Chompan for blue, 4-1
Minor to Mike, 5-1

Mike to Rocc, 7-1
Minor, 8-1

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.

Sunday June 24

First Sunday of the summer and its very summery, as in hot.  We started full court 8 v 8, Doug in the blue net, Steve showed up a little later and tended for white.

Kee to Jeff, for blue, 1-0
Cee cleans up after a corner kick for blue, 2-0
Ted on a 4-0 fast beak pops one in from the 35 for white, 2-1
At 8:39 we moved the goals up to the ten yard lines, 9v9 or 9v10 on the full field in full sun is too much work;
Mario for white, 2-2
Brandon for white, 2-3
Mike the soccer wizard joins the blue team;

Jay, 11-7
Rosner for white, 11-8
Mike, 12-8
Jeff, 13-8, and that does it.

Sunday June 16, Father's Day

Beautiful day, cool, partly cloudy, but lots of mother fuckers decided to stay home today.  We started on a shortened field 8 v 8, Mark S in the blue net, nobody in for white.  Steve showed up to keep for white and a few others showed up, but we stayed on the short field with maybe 19 guys.

Sunday June 9

Beautiful sunny morning.  We started with short sides, last man, inside the box rules, but quickly got up to 23 or so guys.  Birthday boy Steve in the white net spotted by Mark S for a while. Tomas, Minor, Vince, even Juan and Rocco in the blue net.  I forgot my score pad but white had like six goals before blue scored one.  Mark Miller had one for white, putting back a miss by Jay.  Keeble floated one over the outstretched arms of Juan, for white.

Sunday, June 2

Beautiful day: not too hot, nice breeze, but nobody showed up. Eight v Eight at its peak, stupid little goals on the 10 yard lines. Better than nothing, but surprisingly poor turn-out means those of you that didn't come are rubbish. No score reports because it was rubbish little goals.
