New West Reds 2 PCOV 3
The losing streak continues. Started out okay and scored on a bit of a lucky shot/cross (sorry Vic). Minutes later, I played the ball out to their right mid who played a perfect ball onto the...

Westside Rangers 7 or 8 New West Reds 1
Well, apparently I got the short straw, and had to post the game report. Where to begin? Not a bad first 5 minutes, then Rangers scored. After that they dominated virtually the first 25...

New West Reds 3 Crackovia 0
Another solid effort today. Crackovia has a skilled midfield that gave us a few problems, though they didnt create many chances. Solid effort by the backline again, and some clinical finishing up front...
Re: [VMSL Masters Div 2] Results & Banter September 2009
Excellent work by Azzurri and the back line again today. No goals against in open play in 3 games; though they are a bit chippy back there. Not unlike Wimbledon...
Re: [VMSL Masters Div 2] Results & Banter September 2009
Wow, apparently reading comprehension isn't my strong point. I must have been distracted by the talk about Mrs. Georgie. If Georgie's "Best"; it stands to reason that his wife must be pretty good too...
Azzurri's not much of a...

Trece - no crossbars yesterday, or have you given up on keeping track? :)
New West Reds 1 Coquitlam Ajax 1
We owned the first 25 (in my humble opinion!) and were 1 up; despite not creating a lot of goalscoring opportunities. They...

NewWest Reds 6 Killarney 0
Only 11 Killarney players made the journey to the 'burbs. Even game until I stepped off the field, then we quickly potted one; followed shortly thereafter by another. We scored a bunch in the 2nd half on the counterattack, and demonstrated some...
Re: Masters 2 a
Yes, I know it's 4:54 - and no, this isn't a drunken post! Have to get these training sessions in before the season starts :). Despite the significance of our early season encounter; I suspect that, at best, Sir M would send a member of his staff .
Re: Masters 2 a
Yes - hopefully, I won't just be spectating. Azzurri and I are off to the Nation's Capital for a little football tourney next week. Sir M is acutely aware of the importance of the season opener in Masters Division 2 "A"; so I'm sure he'll use us sparingly :).
If it's...
Re: Masters 2 a
Azzurri (wtf?),
Apparently none of the opposition does care. Perhaps we can just use this forum for personal communication, or to start a lobbying campaign to be the first ever 2 "A" side included in the "excellent rankings".
Re: Masters 2 a
My apologies Azzurri..always thought the VMSL was a little thicker skinned than the posers in the FVSL...but sometimes you have to tear it down to build it back up again. Not unlike my ACL, or MCL, or rib cartilage, or calf, hamstring, groin - you get the picture.
Groin -...
Re: Masters 2 a
After reading up on the archives from last year - not sure things could get worse. No offence to my new teammates (many of whom I've never met!)
Re: Masters 2 a
Nope...retired a couple of years ago due to nagging injuries and two girls playing soccer on Saturday and Sunday morning. My oldest one is finished with Sunday's - so I figured I'd attempt the comeback.
Still playing with the VPD (under Sir M's guidance) in the summer...
Does anyone care...
Prediction - New West Reds will be the most improved team in the league this year. Of course, I have nothing to base this on - have only been to 1 practice - with 9 players present.
Comments, predictions...anyone
