I don't think this team has ever had a winning season, even before I joined. We've at least secured a .500 record no matter what happens from here on out. Let's get to the recaps.

Apr 26: Fairfax United 1, Roadkill 0 ( Read more... )

I've slacked off getting updates done. I hate when something feels like it's becoming a chore. Because I like having recaps for personal reasons, but after a game I never feel like writing anything up. Maybe doing these in chunks will be better.

Anyways, there have been 3 games since the last update, let's see what I can remember!

Apr 20th: ( Read more... )

First off, the other team had only 8 players. They played 3 girls short. Their only sub was injured in the second half. Second, each team had a very gusty wind at their back. We had it at our backs in the first half. So, being 3 field players up and having the wind, we should go up quickly on this team ( Read more... )

And now, last night's game. Oh MAN. This team gets under my skin. They are good, we are good, it's a clash of Div3 titans. Unfortunately, we played on a grass field, which was really a mud field since it just rained a couple days ago. And the field used to be one of the pristine grass fields in the county. Now it's junk. Turf it ( Read more... )

This game was played on April 3rd. As of this moment, it is an official game and we got the points for it. We made it through the first half of this game, before it was lightning like crazy. Giant light displays in the sky started popping up frequently. The ref had to call it for everyone's safety. I overheard the rule apparently being it's not an ( Read more... )

Gotta catch up on a few entries. This game took place March 29th. Bottom line: I scored a goal to cut the deficit to 2-1, but because the net wasn't secured at the bottom, the ball passed through without touching it, and the center ref, who is TERRIBLE, didn't allow the goal. The other team's captain EVEN ADMITTED it went in. Fucking ref. It still ( Read more... )

It was another cold night. We started the game one girl down, equalized, and then lost a different girl to injury. We played the game down one the rest of the way. No subs. Just as soon as we had a full team to roll with last week, tonight we were short. So it goes ( Read more... )

Full team for a second game in a row! Only 1 guy sub, so we're still lacking in the substitution department. We played at a brand new field, and it's absolutely *gorgeous*. It's turf, it has a pavilion, heated bathrooms, a tiny practice field, beautiful landscaping, it's a sight to see. Too bad we only have one more game scheduled there ( Read more... )

Another fine start to the season. I mean that sarcastically as well. While we did have 4 substitutes, they were all guys. Only 3 girls showed up so we had to play 2 players short on the field the entire game. The other team was also short. They did have one extra girl so we had to play 9v10 the entire game, however they had no subs whatsoever. So ( Read more... )

My Division 5 season kicked off on March 13th. This is a backdated post since I hadn't got around to getting a blurb out about the game ( Read more... )
