Hi Guys, it's that time of the year again when the fields have just had their first cut of the Spring, the trees are beginning to bud and you realize you haven't looked at a ball since last year! Yes the new outdoor season starts this weekend with an away game against Southington. This will be a 10 am kick off and we will start the roll call of players who are available as of today....I'm in!More details on the match later in the week. BUT, Please come prepared to pay your $35 season fee for CARLS!
I have also added some new features to the blog to help with communication. If you look over to the upper right you will see a section called "PAGES". Underneath, there is a series of pages that will have the season fixture list ( when i get it from Tom ), field directions, stats from current and past seasons as well as a current news section and some handy web sites. Please go here for up to date info when you need it. If there is info you would like to have more or less permanently posted then this would be the place to have it. Just send it or tell me and i will post it there.
SOCCER TIPS!
And just to get us back in the groove we will have a series of soccer tips from some of the Madison Celtic greats! This one is from Fribeka showing us all how to take a perfect corner!
I'm in for Sunday! Hopefully, I'll also be able to make the scrimmage at Cox school in Guilford on Wednesday.

Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteI'm unfortunately unlikely to make it, I turned my ankle pretty thoroughly Thursday. I really can't run at all right now, so it's hard to see it being ready to play on Sunday. But, I'm stupid, and I really want to play, so we'll see. I do have 3 other legs left.....

Too bad a about Cheshire, we should contact them to apologise....anyone have the contact name?
Jodingo!! Is that true about chesire? That's bad. .... That's the way to make friends and influence people!! We must avoid nonsense like that during the year. We can only but hope....
ReplyDeleteRoniildo the name of the team is Cheshire Azzuri?
ReplyDeleteSorry, boys! As much I want to play, this is my son first swimming lesson (11AM) and one of the parents needs to be in the pool - I couldn't get out of it and frankly when it comes to first with my son I'd like to be there! But don't get any idea, I'm dying to get back on the field and it will kill me ~10AM and again ~12AM. Good luck Gents and Jodingo :o)
ReplyDeleteI just heard from Hamid the Enigma. He is on vacation in Florida and will be back Saturday. He asked for the game location and most probably he will be there. I just have to email him the directions to the field. I talked to Tim and Tom J. last Thursday and they said yes. I emailed them again today to confirm and waiting for answer.
ReplyDeleteThe directions to the fields are on http://www.carsl.org/directions.html
That is really bad about Cheshire I thought "El President e" canceled the game. Here we go again.......
Southington & Southington United – DePoalo Middle School (Fall) (Mapquest)
ReplyDeleteFrom I-84:
Exit 32 (Queen Street / Route 10), take Route 10 South, just after the cemetary on
the left, take left onto Flanders Street. Up the hill to the stop sign in front of the High
School, turn right onto Pleasant Street. Depaola is about ¾ mile on left.
From the south I-91 to I 691 West:
Exit 4 (Rt 322) Right off the exit. Right At next Light.
At Lewis Farms take right onto Belle View. At next stop sign (Berlin St.) take a right.
Go about 1 mile to Pleasant St and take a left. DePaolo is about 1 mile on right.
This is the field directions I have. They do have another field in the smelly park. Hope this is it.
Ron/John, George's email address is george@gmoeser.net
Good luck this weekend bhoys.
ReplyDeleteInjury update: The Doc told me this morning that I must take it easy... which I promptly ignored. I played a 20-minute, short-field, two-touch scrimmage with daughter's team this evening and altho I had no pain while running, the ache I'm now feeling in my newly-repaired hip is telling me I need to take some time off before I go out for 90 minutes.
Guilford Black Eagle wants to have scrimmage games on every Thursday evenings at 6 pm in Guilford. Any interest?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's the truth about the Chesire team.
ReplyDeleteAnd re. Thursdays against the Black Hawks...I'd like to do it!
Strap, We'll let you slide this one time.....
Great turn out boys...For Sunday we have 15 confirmed.

ReplyDeleteGents:
ReplyDeleteIf you need to know how rusty your legs are?
Practice today at Cox School 6pm you can be late too we play until dark or getting tired.
Come on lets start to know each others please.
Tom Can you call Carlos if he can't read this blog?
Remember the is not spring season that long anymore when you start to enjoy this whether, 80ºf turns to a sticky summer.
Cheers.
Guys,
ReplyDeleteI am away for the most of the week and be back on Saturday. Few important notes:
1. The game is at Southington Rec. park for this Sunday and some of us can carpool from Madison Circle Pizza parking @ 8:30. Please let us know if you planning to be there. IF going directly, the directions are on the website www.carsl.org and look for Southington FC in Spring. Most of us have played on that field many times before.
2. For Home games, we have been using Tom J. corner flags and he has been nice enough letting us to use them. We need to buy new flags that I can return his for the next Home game on the 25th of April.
3. I have a new goalie (Bruce) who is very interested to play and may be I can have him to come to our game on 25th. Also, Jim is is interested to play goalie and need to let him know if we need him back. Let me know about your feedback please.
4. I am waiting to receive the new roster with ruben's name on it.
I think that's it if I didn't miss anything.
Thanks
We will try for a team photograph on Sunday and the next home game so we can have the best chance to get the whole squad in the photo!
ReplyDeleteTonight's practice with the Hawks is NOT at Cox!!! New venue Calvin Leete school located at 280 South Union Street in Guilford (off Rte 146 (Boston Rd.
ReplyDeleteAlso,
I have a 2 new guys who are very interested in playing with us (formerly with Woodbridge). I was thinking of inviting one of them to our Southington friendly, but there seems to be an excellent response. Let me know thoughts on this asap, so I can get back to my friends.
Ron,
ReplyDeleteIf your friends names are not on the roster they would not be able to play since our game on Sunday is a league game. We could add them to the roster and get them passes for the future home games.
Also the scrimmage games on Thursday's would probably be at Calvin Leete school. I will find out more from Tom Karasay of Guilford team tomorrow. Doubtful if there would be one tomorrow. We need the directions to the field for Sunday on the blog. The one I put up earlier is not for spring season.
el Gato....what can i say? AS I mentioned in the article above....... ALL FIELD DIRECTIONS ARE NOW ON THE TOP RIGHT HAND PART OF THE BLOG UNDER " PAGES" CARLS FIELD DIRECTIONS!!
ReplyDeleteTom,
ReplyDeleteThe directions are not on www.carsl.org
That website does not work. If you have the actual directions for are new players post them.
Behrooz!
ReplyDeleteThe field directions are on this very blog page! Go to the top roght hand side of the blog.....under 'pages' go to CARSL SOCCER FIELD DIRECTIONS" The directions for the game on Sunday are there!! if you click on the web link on that page it will also take you to all other soccer fields!! I spent days of my vacation putting all this shit on the blog.....including all the stats!
My apology to our Manager. I should know better to read carefully. I have been up too many nights working and the mind is not fresh. Again my sincere apologies to John and rest of the bloggers.
ReplyDeleteEl Gato you are on the dope again!!
ReplyDeleteno problem El Gato!
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely beautiful. Lots of work and vast amount of information. Besides Insomnia I also have been listening to too many Persian music and is effecting my brain cells.
Apologies guys. Sunday id our 1st LEAGUE GAME as John indicated. I mentioned friendly in an earlier post, which is wrong.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if Guilford is practicing tonight? They had suggested a scrimmage with us, which doesn't appear to be happening. I might go kick it around with them.
ReplyDeleteJohnaldo, You spent your vacation days bettering this blog?????????
ReplyDeleteyes! How geeky and sad is that?
ReplyDeleteGuilford Hawks did their session yesterday
