We played well on day 1 but with weaker competition, it was easy to prevail. Day 2, the competition was more intense but we kept up our incredibly crisp passing, took subs when needing them, and kept constant pressure on the teams in the Semi and Final eventually breaking them. With numerous contributions from each team member, it was great to play as a team and win as a team. Thank you all for making it such a fun time.
Notable from today's play were a couple solid blocks from Anna in goal to keep a clean sheet. Morgan popping her ACDC goal scoring cherry sending a shot over the keeper's head. Alex came up huge in the final getting the scoring machine started by sneaking in behind the defense on a long ball and punishing their keeper. Mumbles' head was a soccer ball magnet on corner kicks despite his stature with several headers on frame forcing the keeper to make saves. "Little Jamie" as she was referred to on the pitch today, to avoid confusion with our own 6 foot Jamie Lang, was anything but little in each game. She would drive to the end-line and cut toward goal drawing pressure and then selflessly dish off the ball for others to score. Awesome job guys!
Game breakdown:
Game 1: 5-0
Game 2: 6-0
Game 3: 0-0
Semi Final: 6-0
Final: 4-0
Walter - Jeff wore his throw back just for you. As a team, we hope you enjoy your vacation in Italy and we all request that you please put ACDC in the far far back of your mind while there....I'm sure you'll setup a celebration when you're back.Singing off my duties as manager....

Overjoyed for this moment that we have worked six years for. Incredibly confused that I missed this moment which I have toiled for the same period.
