Wednesday morning game is on track this week to gather at 06:30AM and to start at 7:00AM.  We have 8 replies and Dr. Yurik will collect all the phone numbers. We’d love to have two more participants. We split into 2 games.  An 8×8 game went to a small set of goals, and a 6×6 game remained on a large set of goals. We started today at 09:27.  By 10:27 the first game died out, and everybody joined together once more. This report is about an 8×8 game.  DARKs had a very wide spectrum of players from A to Z. Literally.  From Arnaud to Ziya.  Arnaud was defending and Ziya was…

Last time Georgi waited half an hour on sidelines; today new guy Michael Za. did not.  Explanation could be probably found in the status.  Georgi was like a heavy metal star.  Even a little bit of Georgi could through the game out of balance.  Any other explanations? Today’s game lasted very close to 2 hours straight (09:32 -11:28).  Weather was something to dream about -warm, sunny and green.  By 09:37 Dr. Yurik scored a first header from Erick, but DARKs were gathering their strength. Ily, Georgi, Nebati and Sasha L. and Serezha all gathered to form a very powerful team for DARKs.  So, everybody was predicting an easy win for them. …

This Wednesday we still have Summer Time. See many of you at 17:00. We played a low count game today – very good.  Everyone had a chance to shine.  Even those who didn’t show (by preserving their high points). WHITEs started chipper with a 2:0 lead (09:41), but were trailing by 3 goal soon thereafter – 2:5 at 10:11.  Dean scored one of those amazing goals, almost as beautiful as Zhenia V. last week. Note that almost everyone except a goalkeeper scored for DARKs.  That was the secret to their success today.   With 4 fresh new goals, Zhenia V. brings his goal count to a lucky 13 right on the…

Today we had an interesting “Middle of the-game” “come-to-justice” experience.  Let’s call a useful team-building activity.  Everybody was actively engaged, everybody had an opinion, and everybody was looking for the good of Thou neighbor.  Good, excellent, constructive. We started at 09:30.  At 09:45 Dr. Yurik scored an important 1:2 goal, but negative slide continues – 1:4.  Finally at 10:09 Georgi switches for WHITEs and Yura D. goes for DARKs.  31 minutes later (10:40) Georgi scores a turning point goal (2:4), and quickly (another 31 minutes) WHITEs tie the game at 6:6 (11:11). That was already enough events for one game, but we continued to play, and Tim F. momentarily steps out…

Do we have 8 people to play this Wednesday at 17:00?  It would be last evening game of the season.  Make yourself known. WHITEs started ballistic.  Zhenia V. kept scoring from every position and with every touch of the ball.  WHITEs were leading 2:0 and 3:1. Vlad T. and Misha T. both started for DARKs and were quickly out on injuries very early on.  Igor Gr. switched for DARKs at 09:45. That was a serious blow for WHITEs.  Deadly! From 09:59 to 10:03 score has grown from 3:3 to 3:6 for DARKs.  That solved most problems for DARKs.  Score quickly reaches 4:9 with Ruslan scoring goals 1, 3, 6 and 9.…
