Jody is one of only four survivors of the original founding players of Madison still playing in the team. Yes, he is that old......He has outlived many team changes, player formations and countless injuries to finally get off the bench this season for a few games. He is an old Navy guy so he knows a sinking ship when he sees one which makes it all the more surprising he has stuck all this time with Madison! He is a tough midfield battler and is more than happy to take all the blame when the team plays badly. Which is great news for Jacques! In our current set of articles we want to get to know what makes the Madison players tick! Jody took sometime off from his hectic beach party lifestyle to give me this in depth interview recently. Slainte Jody!

looks good...we would be in the Masters league Division 3 EAST if we joined....not too much travel at all
ReplyDeleteWe might have more players actually show up for games - home and away...
ReplyDeleteI think it is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteLet's pursue it.
I am wondering if need to play our make up game this weekend instead of playing against Cheshire. Either way we have a game this Sunday but the question is should we play our makeup game against Milford instead? So far Ron B. and Jody are not going to be around this Sunday.
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think that we can make a quick decision on this.

I just finished talking to the Milford team manager and we both came to the conclusion that this Sunday would be a better choice for the make up game than next Wednesday night. This is makes better sense for both teams and we don't have to worry about people showing up late after work and dealing with rush hour traffic.
ReplyDeleteSo, we will have the make up game with Milford this Sunday. We can also keep the next Wednesday night and play a scrimmage game against Cheshire if they can or with another team.
