First, thanks for everyone really gelling as a team today on the pitch. Some of you are not naturals in the positions where I (Walter in spirit) had you but it worked well. Apologies for not being able to recall who scored all the goals, since I'm new to the coaching thing, I'll have to remember to jot them down when I can. Outstanding play all around with 11-0 goal differential. As a defender wtih ACDC, I haven't witnessed goals like that since...well..it's been a while.
Game 1:
Walking all over the first team
Game 2:
A field that a good buddy of mine would have said in a thick Spanish accent "I cannot play in dez conditions", despite that - we absolutely shelled the opposition. There keeper was suprisingly very strong despite the players on the pitch. His blocks came at a high price though, ending when we sent him out late in the 2nd with a broken hand (if you were wondering, that is why he didn't shake). George has been there..
I'm still not sure who let King George VII take a penalty kick but in the end, it didn't matter with the score line. Plus, now I can be sure to poke fun of him. Paul or Mumbs if this happens again.
Game 3:
The first two games were a breeze for us but not so on the 3rd. We dominated possesion especially in the first half against a team with few subs and far less talent. In the second, we had a ball that some would have said crossed the goal line and one goal called back due to offsides. It happens. We were saved by the cross bar (and a favorable call) on one rocket of a shot. Anna went in on a slide on another and saved the team from defeat. Well done Anna.
Somehow, they packed the box and played for a draw and got it. Unfortunate, but we'll need to learn methods to penetrate should this happen to ACDC again.
Sunday:
With game 3 under our belt, we won't be so cocky when we head into tomorrow's match at 9am. Get some rest, stay hydrated, and have fun on the pitch again tomorrow.
~Whitey, the Walter in spirit but slightly less OCD. :-)

Only slightly less OCD. Very proud of what has been accomplished today. Sunday never easy but I think this squad has the fortitude to bring the trophy home. In the 6 year history of the team, we have had some great players and some great squads. This squad will stand out if it can finish the job. I am so very relieved about the results today and I will be hanging on every text during the proceedings tomorrow
