6-24-2008 We had our second game last night against the Rusty Bones.  We won the game 12-1.  Numbers were again an issue.  We started the game with 13 but had two
knocked out with injuries.  So we played much of the game with a single sub.  Luckily, we were able to slow the game down sufficiently to be effective.  Actually, I think our "play making" was benefitted by this, since we were much more patient than normal on offense.  Many of our goals came off a nice feed to an open cutter.

Even though we were all very tired, the off ball players continued to work to get open.  There was a fair amount of ball movement and the player with the ball kept an eye out for feeding opportunities.  Ground balls also were a great advantage for us.  Again, given how tired we were, I was surprised how agressively we played them.  Winning a very high percentage.

Defense was staunch, giving up only one goal on a broken play.  I dont think
the defense ever came off the field!  They were able to save the middies a
lot of running by getting a turnover quickly.  Sometimes before we could
even get back on D. Good game guys.
6-18-2008 Warriros Win!  The score was 10 to 4.  We only had 12 players and one had a pulled hamstring.  That translates to a lot of running.  They had 30 plus players.  So the numbers disparity was daunting. Some good passing, timely cuts and steady defense and the game was ours, as long as we didn't pass out.  Randy was stellar in goal again.  Everyone played really well.  I'm surprised that our game didn't completely breakdown due to fatigue in the 4th.  Way to suck it up!
