Game vs. Legal Thunder
We were awesome as usual but special kudos and props to Josh our amazing lightening quick goalie, and Linsey "The Wall". We kept them from scoring for the entire first half and they really had to earn the ones that they did get in the second. We made them work for it and gave them a good run for their money!
We were down Ian, our illustrious captain due to the evils of Physics homework, as well as Mark due to injury, but thanks to Jason (the wonderful husband of Andrea) we had a great game!
We were all very happy and gratified to see our teammate Tyler show up to cheer us on, even though illness has taken him out for the last few games. We wish you well Tyler and strength to your spleen (which apparently might explode upon errant ball contact, hence no playing). Josh was also back from the pits of ick and reminded us all of how much we missed and needed him both on the pitch and in the goal.
David and Oliva returned from the chaotic marsh of the "In-Laws" with David debuting for the first time this season outside of the goal. Good job Scullys!
On the bright side Daniel has once again made it through a game injury and blood free, however, our Amazing Andrea took one for the team and this time in the eye! Thankfully we found her some "medicine" post game (see below).
This game also marked the first official time we had planned and coordinated team wide post game shenanigans. A very confused country bar was invaded by The Grass Kickers directly post game, and it was awesome! Everyone loved the chance to socialize off the pitch and there was laughing and camadrie all around.

Tuesday scrimmage/practice
We didn't have enough people for a scrimmage on Tuesday but we did have enough to get some great practice in. We did a few different drills to work on skills and we also did some circuits and conditioning. It was a great practice and I really felt that it helped me in my quest to be a better player.
See you all on Sunday and/or Tuesday. Remember Practice makes Perfect!
Off Season and Winter Season
As you all know we are nearing the end of the season, 2 more weeks to go! Also for winter, the city will be doing only co-ed hat draw (this means that everyone signs up as individuals and the city then divides the pool into teams). Me and some others from the team are interested in still having a practice/scrimmage at least once a week after the season ends and into the winter season so that 1) we do not get totally out of shape and 2) we get to still see each other! So here are some ideas. We can meet on sundays still during the day so that we don't have to worry about lights. Also we can work something out where we each pitch in a few buck and rent a field with lights. Let me know what you all think or if you all have any ideas and suggestions.
Also I am interested in trying to put together a co-ed team for indoor for the winter season. I will post more details on that as soon as i figure it out.
Finally, Ian and I have talked about the idea of having an end of year party with the team. Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome for this as well.
