Thanks once more to west van. We did ourselves no favour on the weekend by tying our match 1-1. They scored first shorthanded starting the game with only 8 or 9 guys. We managed to tie it up before the half and then just couldn't seem to put the ball in the net. I can't speak of flow or posession as I was not at the game but I heard that the field did neither team any favours. A 1/4 or the field was a gravel baseball pitch. That's all I have to say about that. Providing we don't have any more episodes, we should be able to wrap up the season at 2nd place in div 2 a.

Congrats to both teams from City FC. Having played the Blaze over the past couple years, I'm confident they'll stay up in Div 1. If they pick up 3-4 starters they'll do well, not promo-well, but top 4. As for Rangers, haven't seen them play, but from what I hear, they're a decent bunch, nothing more. Others in their div have compared them to last year's Burnaby Fury, who (much like the Rangers in one year) will be back in div 2. Gonna check out their game this weekend and see how they stack up. I would think they're a solid team, but they lucked out in playing an easier div. Time will tell.

I feel sorry for these guys as they seem to have a good core but no commitment. They just need to fill in a few or 5 blanks and they should be able to compete better.
It looks like the JB's 6year reign of terror in 2'C is over as we will be making the move to 2'A to contend with the likes of Firemen, the Primos and either Bosna, TheFury or Bingers. Bingers should be most challenging...
Until then it will be a summer of Sun, Beer and Women and soccer...wait a sec. I am married with children....Sun through the skylight, beer if I can sneak it pass the missus, Diapers, Pregnant wife and lots of fun convincing the other half that my playing summer soccer is great for not only our relationship but for better quality family time....

I was on the Island skiing, visiting and losing at laser-tag to my ten year old nephew. Little bastard. I taught him a lesson in hand-to-hand combat though. Sorry I missed the game. Well, in retrospect, maybe not. Eight-donut, ouch. That hurts. I doubt you would have had much trouble defending my offensive prowess. Defending the beer cooler would have been a different prospect.
Bonefish, I suggest explaining your soccer rating system to your wife when you have a summer game scheduled. When her eyes go glossy and brain shuts down make a run for the door, soccer gear in hand! And don't look back!
Keeper, you and the boys are pretty quiet about the 2C promotion. you guys kept shooting yourselves in the foot costing you promotion. I know everyone in our group, after the race was just between you and WUS, was hoping that you'd move up but WUS clutched up and got the points they needed. Good luck in 2C next year, looks like the JB's, RFC, and Sign will all be making the jump to 2A to mix it up with the likes of LMFF and others. Good luck next year and Duke, we haven't forgotten about the stellas!!!
Actually, we're being pretty quiet about our lack of promotion. Frankly, the guys seem to be a bit dissapointed in themselves (ourselves?) and we pretty much lay it all on one game in particular: our 1-0 loss to Richmond. That single goal in the last minute cost us the season.
It was kind of funny, though, on Saturday when a handful of us were out watching WUS beat Signmaster 2-buzz. I was the first to show up, little more than 2 minutes into the game. As everyone showed, "What's the score?" "Zeros."
So there we are, taking the piss, having a laugh at this scoreless draw, and cheering on the good guys (aka Signmaster). Then, in the second half, one of the Signmaster boys yells, "Come on guys, just one and we're back in it!"
"WTF?" We ask, and the sidelines tell us, WUS score within the first 2 minutes off, guess what? . . . . a free kick.
The game wasn't so fun anymore after that.
Nevertheless, we all have to admit that we had a very enjoyable season. A great first half of the table, lowest goals against in the whole division (which I feel can still be improved upon), and many wins (which certainly hadn't happened much in div 1 the year before).
Hell, div 2 is still pretty fun. Right?
What are the guidelines on making the new groups? I've forgotten.
Hey guys, I've just been at the funeral for Chris Turner, a guy I knew who played for Signmaster. He suddenly died in his sleep last Saturday night at the age of 28 from a heart attack ... a real quality guy who lived life to the fullest. Totally unexpected and a shock for sure, especially given his straight up, healthy lifestyle.
It just goes to show, you never know when your time is up.
