We are not changing anything yet about our Wednesdays.  But start thinking now about those dark and gloomy Wednesdays after work, when they turn on Winter time.  We will return to that topic of early morning Wednesday’s on October 31, and  I bet more people will be interested then. Today we started at 09:18. DARKs opened with 0:2 lead in a fully-loaded 12 on 12 game.  Goal number 2 assigned to Alex Z., but it was actually mostly Arnaud effort in front of the goals.  Anyone from DARKs can claim it.  Who did it? WHITEs continued with 7 goals, and it seemed like a done deal with 7:3 lead. Both Boris R.…

Dr. Yurik suggested a radical idea. What if we play on Wednesday mornings – say at 6:30am as the darkness chases us out of the filed in the evenings?  Something to think about.

Today’s game was a classic form of bad to worse scenario.  DARKs were quickly up 1:8.  Then at 18:30 Igor Gr. switched for WHITEs replacing departed Christof.  But score continued to rise. We saw 2:10, then 3:12.  But game was nevertheless a success story.  At the very end, WHITEs rallied…

11 people from Yahoo! Group visited GAME RESULTS yesterday. Let’s continue the experiment. 09:29 – We started this weekend game number six in a very unusual setting.  Our core people started on a smaller set of goals and the rest of the crew remained on a vast field with a real goals.  We started 6 on 6, but vacancies got filled very quickly to reach 11 on12.  The last arrival number 12 for DARKs – Garrick – cemented the defense, making it impossible to score. We can separate the game into 3 nice little segments.  At first, a total domination by WHITEs, and score fluctuated from 4:0 to 6:3. In segment…

Today is especially interesting to write about the game. Today we are trying to count, how many people are actually reading this timeless material.  Are WE the force to be reckon with, or just a fluke in the soccer history.  Yahoo! doesn’t provide any kind of statistics on activity in out Newton Pickup Soccer group.  So we have to do it this way.  And of course, in the next several posts I will tell you the results. Thank you to Kevin, and Matt, and Misha P., who waited on the sidelines, till we felt guilty and invited them in.  Once again, what a wonderful bunch of people! We played from 9:22 to…

Remarkably, we started at 17:39.  29 minutes earlier, than last Wednesday.  It is impossible to see the ball around 19:00.  It is dark.  So, you do the math. Today we are publishing the STAT file to the WEB.  So, only briefly about everything.
