Sunday December 7th 2008
Two fair results this week but again both teams having the same
problem. Lack of participation and communication of unavailability. Over
30's had a typically tough game against our old mates Riverplate - a
good game apart from one wanker on their team who thought he was the
worlds toughest man ... especially by lifting people when they weren't
looking. As you would expect he got as good as he gave if not more.
Aside from him, a good bunch of lads who we enjoy playing and who always
give us a good game. This one was no exception and with a lack of
players ensuring everyone had a good run out, we played some very decent
football. We controlled most of the game but as usual could not hit the
net. A late injury to Paul Capone and we ended up with no sub for the
last 5 minutes. Grimesy playing well in nets, Newman putting himself
about for the entire game, Rennie and Capone solid at the back and
Richie and Jack getting the goals, we ran out to a 2 - 2 tie. Next week
we need players to either show up or let us know if you cant make it.
Email and cell phones are not that difficult to use. Game is at 7.45pm
and I am trying to arrange for Parksey to play as it is a tough one
against the strong Oakville Athletic.

Ed was a similar story with regards to players only this time having
only one girl rather than a lack of overall numbers. No excuses for the
snow (this is Canada in winter dammit), we needed more and this is
especially ironic as there were murmurings last week of too many girls
and not enough playing time. Anyhow, well done to MJ for showing and
playing the entire game especially as one girl meant we had to play a
player short. Another solid performance, a couple of unlucky shots on
goal and constantly tracking back, she had another great game. With
Jamie, Michael, Darren all playing well and stringing together some very
nice football, we shut down the young and tricky Mississauga Dinamos and
eventually ran out comfortable winners at 6 - 1 which really did not
reflect on the good game they gave us. No game for co ed next week but
the following week we play at 5pm so get there or if not let the man on
the phone know.

Bit of a mixed bag this week and a somewhat strange update for the
Over 30's who took on HBSFC on Friday night after a 2 week layoff.
Firstly the sheer number of players especially on a Friday night caused
some amusement with a 7 man sorry person (yes 7) rotation up front and 5
at the back. Mario decided to watch from the bar due to the number of
players. With Warren playing (even on a dodgy shoulder), Chris F sober
and fit, Paul Capone available and even the marauding Dave Newman making
a rare guest appearance, we had a very strong squad. We beat this team
as well only two weeks ago with a weaker squad but that was not to be
for this game. They had picked up a couple of players, striker and
keeper especially that really won the game for them. We started well,
played some nice passing football but could not beat the keeper. He
stood on his head. This coupled with the striker scoring about 4 of
their 7, they ran out 7 - 2 winners. Good performance from Lynn
especially with great vision and passing.
Next week back to the Thursday night slot and a 10pm kick off against
the old adversary Riverplate (imagine this in a Sean Connery voice taken
right out of Hunt for Red October).
