Wednesday Night Soccer Champions!

As you know, Blaze and I have been joining Tom and Dave in their Wednesday Night Soccer League. Well, last week we won our semifinal game. Out of the six team league we squeaked into the semi-finals as the 4th seed. We took down the 1st seeded team (who Dave and Tom said they have never beaten before). We were down very quickly 3-0 and then 4-1, however, a strong performance by Blaze (1 goal), myself (2 goals), and the rest of the boys resulted in a strong comeback victory for the Raiders (us)!

We ran into a bit of trouble after the game because the other team told the referee that Blaze and I were "ringers" and haven't played the whole season. Luckily, it did not end up mattering and we were able to keep our place in the championship.

This week, the championship, we won our game 6-3. Blaze had three goals and I had three goals. Tom Howard had an extremely strong game in net. He was a brick wall in there. Dave Howard, Andrew Fielding, and McGinnis all had strong games as well helping them win their first premiership in soccer in all their seasons participating in this league (which I am guessing is about 6).

Since we were champions we all won free beer mugs. I was fortunate enough to be awarded the man of the match and got a free shot glass and also a free drink! I chose the mango banana juice of course! Anyway,  Wednesday night soccer has been real fun and we thank the guys for letting us join them!
