A message from our coach;
"Gentlemen,
Hope you all enjoyed Mother's day off! This Sunday we are scheduled to play against Prospect and this is another Away game for us. We need to be there no later than 9:30 am.
Please Google the directions from your location to Hotchkiss Field in Prospect.
If you interested to carpool, we can meet at Madison Circle Pizza parking lot (Rt. 79/80 circle). Please be there by 8:30 am
Please let me know if you are meeting me at the Madison circle or going there directly"
Thanks Tom,
I will be in the UK this weekend so will miss the game. Hopefully someone will take extensive notes so I can blog the match update. Usually Jodinho or Fribeka take the opportunity to express themselves…..
Prospect are a tough team and in the 19 games they played last year they won 9, lost 6 and tied 4. In the four games they played Bridgeport they lost all of them to scores of 4-3, 6-0, 6-2 and 4-3. In the recorded scores against Guilford they fared better winning three and drawing one game. They finished in second place in the league last year but, if we play to the great form of our first two games and have a full squad I think we can win!
Don't forget to send me an e-mail of the result plus any commentary!
The sheep are taking cover as we speak...
ReplyDeletebah.....
ReplyDeleteSo what do you think about the Rangers - Celtic result and the league title?
ReplyDeleteWhat happened?
it was a bad result….Celtic were the best team on the day but could not generate enough goal mouth chances….Rangers hung in there and to their credit they have strung together a number of consecutive victories over the last 8 games....2 games to goafter tonight...Celtic played again tonight and beat Dundee Utd 2-1 and Rangers play tomorrow…..Rangers have to play 2 out of their next 3 games away from home….. I am keeping my fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteI will not be able to make this Sunday's game in Prospect due to one of my son's baseball games and picture day for both of my son's teams (which I coach). I also will be out-of-town on Sunday, June 7th. Good Luck this weekend.
ReplyDeleteKevinho, thanks for the early warning, and have fun.
ReplyDeleteHi guys,
Can you e-mail a quick yes or no for Sunday. I'd like to have our starting line-up, and sub strategy communicated by Friday morning at the latest….. Unfortunately, John and Kevin are out this week, so pre-planning will be key to our success on Sunday………thanks
Captain Ron
so far only 8 players are a definite yes. If we can't field a full team against prospect, should we consider forfeit, and do something else with Sunday?....I'm not keen on travelling long distance games unless we have 100% commitment…..been there done that for too many seasons now…..even though we are over forty, the vast majority of other teams show up with a minimum of 13 players rain hail or shine… your thoughts
ReplyDeleteRon
Carlito and jorge usually confirm with phone call by Tom. Did you include them as part of 8?
ReplyDeleteRon, I am at the match on sun,but i have to leave after half. Brews are still in full effect and you are right we should be as full a squad as possible. I am on who should answer earlier.
ReplyDeletegreat danny....Tom can you please ask Prospect to start the game half at 9.30AM...gives more beer time at the end!!
ReplyDeleteTonight: Rangers drew 1-1 away to Hibs....Celtic back on top of the league on Goal difference with only 2 games to go!!
ReplyDeleteBoys im sorry for the fact that now i wont be able to play at all on sunday. My u-11 game has been moved up. Iwill do the beer next week .
ReplyDeleteAgain sorry. Danny
appreciate the early heads-up. See you next week.
ReplyDeleteRon
Since the game is cancelled this Sunday against Prospect. looks like we don't even have enough for the scrimmage game agaist Enrique's buddies. In addition it is going to rain Sunday morning. So count me out for the 9:30 in Westbrook.
ReplyDeletethe game is cancelled? how many players did we end up with as a final count?
ReplyDeleteGentlemen,
ReplyDeleteJust checking the schedule and noticed that there is no game scheduled for this Sunday. Actually, there is no official game for any team this Sunday. This is a Memorial Day weekend. Is everyone available this Sunday? We can set up a game if we have a full team.
Let me know please ASAP
Thanks
I won't be available
ReplyDeleteI'll be around this weekend.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I saw the slew of emails regarding trying to get a head count
for the Prospect game yesterday. In case anyone was wondering (Ron,
possibly), I didn't respond since I was in Spain, and I had told everyone
two weeks ago that I wouldn't be able to make it. Sorry if this was
forgotten and caused any confusion.
I won't be available
ReplyDeleteWhy?
ReplyDeleteNobody showed up to the friendly game yesterday (except Tom J and I).
I'll be here, but there needs to be a definite headcount prior to this weekend for me to go.
I'm not available
ReplyDeleteWell, that settles it. If no else is willing to play, I'm not willing
ReplyDeleteeither!! See you all in two weeks......against New Fairfield......bring
your game faces!
Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend!
Gentlemen,
ReplyDeleteI have been getting some of your responses and it appears that most people are unavailable. So, No Game this Sunday and enjoy your Memorial Day weekend.
What about practices/pick-up games on Thurs eve in Clinton or any other night?
ReplyDeleteAs Jody said......We haven't played for the last 2 weeks. Our next game is in 2 weeks (that would be a month) against New Milford and that's an Away game for us.
ReplyDeleteI hope we all trying to stay in shape and ready to face New Fairfield in 2 weeks. They are a very good team.
I am keeping up with after the game routine and drinking enough beer to be in shape in two weeks.
ReplyDeleteGo
