Our weekend games

Saturday we played our first Spring 07 game against the First Ladies. It was a good game and we held our own against their talented forwards. We ultimately lost 2-0. We are currently in 5th place out of 6. It was a great introduction for all of us to a few new players on the team - Ellie, Erica and Tina.

On Sunday we played another indoor game in Fairfax against Second Wind. It was a shut out and we won 6-0. The Wind had a very vocal cheering section but we tuned them out and focused on making their goalie work very hard.

Next up is an outdoor game against the Violent Femmes at Catholic Univ.

Schedules

I have posted below game schedules for the spring. Outdoor and indoor are included for those of us crazy enough to play both. Practices will be announced on an ongoing basis - if we settle on a routine practice time, I'll add them to the calendar.

Here's what I ask -

1) Let me know if I made any errors against the master schedules

2) Please leave a comment for any month in which there are games you know you will not attend. Gives me a heads up on attendance. For example, I will leave a comment that I cannot make the game on June 2.

Thanks and GAME ON! :)

Practice Sun March 25th

Practice on Sunday March 25th at 10:30 next to the FDR memorial. Past the intersection of Ohio Drive and W Basin. On the left before the roundabout.

LAST PRACTICE BEFORE THE SEASON BEGINS!!!

Indoor Soccer: 18 March vs Green Machine

Although we lost the game 6-1, it wasn't without a lot of heart. Naela scored our only goal.
The "luck of the Irish" wasn't with us due to illness (Monica), injury (Cathy--in her Friday indoor league); household emergency (Jennifer and Teresa); and family matters (Janet). So we had no subs. Then, Leola sprained her ankle during the second half. The Green Machine was nice enough to offer us some subs to finish the game.
Props to Carrie for goalie coverage in the second half--making up for my errors (including an own goal) in goal the first half.

PRACTICE CANCELLED FOR 3/17

PRACTICE ON THE 17TH CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER! INDOOR ON FOR SUNDAY FOR THOSE WHO INDICATED INTEREST IN FAIRFAX SEASON 2. NEXT OUTDOOR EVENT IS SUNDAY MARCH 25 - PRACTICE AT POTOMIC PARK.

Twisted Indoor

The Twisted Sister indoor team went 3-4 for the winter season. We won over "White Lightning" to secure sixth place out of nine teams-- not bad for our first indoor season.

It is an interesting place to play and defnitely forces us to use muscles we do not normally use on the outdoor fields. Amanda has signed us up for another outdoor season so if you want to play send her an email.

Games are played at the Fairfax Sportsplex in VA. Can be some late game times but it is a great way to stay connected in the off season and get that heart rate up another day of the week. The new season runs from March 4, 2007 - April 29, 2007.
