All,
The game on Sunday was our best effort of the year. The result sucked, but such is the game. It's great to see how we've improved over the season and are definitely a better team than we were during the first week.
This Sunday we have one final chance to put it together before the summer break. 3pm, CD East. See you there.

it's been a slow day - here's an article about the US soccer teams' "uniform crisis"

Yesterday's Game, Next Game, Pickup
1. To everyone who played yesterday, great job coming back from 3-0 down. They scored good goals, so we can't take anything away from them. However, we fought hard in that second half. Five more minutes and we would have had them for sure. For those who weren't there, it was a 3-2 loss. I haven't heard from Marat, but he needed at least 10 stitches I would guess (being rather experienced in that field). Again, and this was echoed by EVERYONE, we are unstoppable when we play the short game. We picked those guys apart once we played the easy ball on the ground.
2. Our next game is Sunday, 1pm, against Lower Dauphin: NOTE - FIELD CHANGE: GAME IS AT KELLER FIELD. CHECK WEBSITE FOR DIRECTIONS. This will be a tough game, but a fun one, so let's get our positive energy up and ready for it. Let us know if you will not be there.
3. With only a couple of votes, the trend for summer pickup is to retain our schedule from last year - Mondays at 7 at CD East, Wednesdays at 7 at Fiala in Camp Hill. Any other suggestions?

Rescheduled Game
All,
Just received word that the rained-out game against Lower Dauphin has been rescheduled for July 1 (same time and location). Let me know ASAP if you would be available on this date. I can't make that date, and I'm sure there are at least one or two more. If enough people can't make it, we could possibly reschedule again - Lower Dauphin might have similar issues. Let me know.

Apologies, Next Game, Summer Pickup
I greatly apologize for yesterday's debacle. I'm especially sorry to Gary and Kurt, who showed up for the game, but at different times and different locations. Both of you get a refund for this past week.
Here's what happened: we showed up at Redland High School for our 1:00 game. A youth game was taking place on the only available field. The Redland captain explained that we just got booted because of a scheduling conflict with the kids. The Redland team had no prior knowledge and neither did the refs or the league. So a couple of guys on the Redland team went to the Redland soccer club to see if there was an available field. At around 1:00, they returned, said the field was available, and we headed out in a caravan to the field. I tried calling Gary, but had an old, inactive number. Tim tried Kurt, but had to leave a message at his (Tim's) house for his wife to call Kurt. Tim also volunteered to hang around a bit to see if anyone else showed. No one did, so he came to the Redland complex. Meanwhile, I found out later, Gary had headed to Redland high school, didn't see anybody, so returned to his house to double-check the schedule, then ended up back at Redland high. He called my wife, who only had the info that the game was at the high school. Meanwhile, back at Redland soccer club, we started the game at around 1.40, played 2 30-minute halves, and ended at around 2.45, winning 1-0 thanks to a great goal by James. Again, sorry for not being prepared with current numbers. Sorry to Gary for having to endure that BS.
Our next game is Sunday the 17th at 1:00, at CD East, against Londonderry. Nick and Mike will not be there. Anyone else? Last time we played them, they outhustled us, and that's the only way they beat us. Not this time, right? Let's be ready to play harder, faster and more physically than they do.
Now is the time to start thinking about a day and time for summer pickup. Last summer we played Mondays at CD East and Wednesdays in Camp Hill. Attendance was generally pretty good, and obviously picked up in August. I'd like to propose having one game on either Saturday or Sunday and trying to get everyone out for that. Any votes for a day, time and location?

next game
good work in the second half on Sunday. how does our game keep turning out so ugly? we need more aggressiveness, more ball winning and quicker passes. believe me, i'm looking in the mirror on this one.
our next game is against Redland, Sunday at 1 at Redland high school. Directions are on the website. Do we wear red or blue against them? I don't remember. Bring both unless someone lets us know.
pickup tonight at Hershey Med, 630.
