Chaos Beats Up as Majestics Heat Up!

Actually we beat them to the ball, let them score a goal for us and then cooled off with our own fan. The 4 - 0 score indicated who was ready to play in that sauna. Colleen scored our first goal even though her cat peed all over her uniform before the game! Paula came in late enough to join us on field without having to play goal. She scored the other 2 goals although Dianne and Linda had many nice chances. Linda's ankle gave her a wobble or 2 but she wouldn't give up. We just about phoned Deb with an emergency call so she would leave the fire hall and come play with us. Luckily we had "Parktown Patty" to pick up the defensive line and Jan Smith to cover the left side of the pitch. We are wondering if either of them can dance on a table so they can join us in a tournament. Las Vegas is calling our name! Dianne's duty is to find out more info on what that town can offer us. Do we play outdoors?? Do they carry size 11 shoes on sale?? What shows are on ??? How much do pitchers and nachos cost?? Can you wear boots with a bathing suit to the pool in the hotel?? Start saving your pennies girls. Maybe we can make a calendar for our fundraiser.

Where are we going next tournament? Stay tuned!

Chaos Heats Up While Parktown Picks Up!

 

AAH!! Everything hurts!! What a game! Inside a sauna, sweating & swearing while trying to stop #14!! Yes we did lose the game but at least we scored 2 and 5 for them. The beer was extra delicious even though we had to get it ourselves! See you guys in a week, enjoy the sauna...again!

Just Like Germany!!!

Why why why did we play like Germany last night? Was the thrill of short manicured grass and the allure of lights too much for us? Was it seeing the return of Linda, Paula, Jane B, Jane E, Sarah, and Dianne at the game that threw us off? Was it the thought of drinking on the field (which is not allowed) throwing our concentration? (Lila thinks it was her son's new girlfriend that kept her mind off the Pitch which was why she played so darn hard but to no avail.) After hearing lamentations at the bar afterwards, we decided we outplayed, outran and outlasted them but the score (0-1) did not reflect this.

Here are the team stats not including the last 2 games:

Paula Klein 5
Linda McGregor 2
Dianne Anton 2
Debbie Davies 2
Sharon Braun 2
Jane Basinski Gray 1
Lila Kallstrom 1

                                       And with the 2 games included it would look more like this:

Paula Klein 5            Linda McGregor 2            Dianne Anton 2            Deb Davies 2            Sharon Braun 2            Lila Kallstrom 2
Colleen Burant 1
Lori Hlady 1
Jane Basinski Gray 1

Lori, Lila, Colleen and 2 Lindas - What the "L"??

It was an impressive game. I told Lori to sub in for me and score. And so she did! Then I was put on forward and I slammed one in. Colleen lead another one in as Barb and I framed her for a nice 3 on 1. Linda offered to play goal so Janet could send them up to us. It was fun for all. And just like the Spanish midfield, it proved to me once again, that playing in midfield is a tough, but lets you control the game.

Majestics did get in 2 goals to our 3, but they were not impressive. They switched goalies in 2nd half but to no avail. The wonky Archibald field proved to be a one-sided game in more ways than one.
