Ive heard from quite a few people out there - some directly involved with the Kumquats, but the majority not, that they're following our team's progress closely, so I apologize for being delinquent in my Thursday report.
It was a dicey game, but on the strength of two phenomenal goals by Matt 'Call me Beckham' Felt we win 4-3. The first, in the first half, was a great shot to the upper right 90 assistes bt Kellie, and the
second in the second half was a volley fcibf into the sun that was perfectly played and Matt put it perfectly into the side netting. Chad scored our third goal on a great header, also facing into the sun (Matt almost had a hat trick but the keeper made a fantastic save to stop his header.)
It was actually a pretty ugly game by Kumquats defense standards, allowing two goals in he first seven minutes (causing yours truly to enduce three wounds) and then another goal which a certain member if our team (who shall remain nameless) misplayed a ball back to me, at which point the other team intercepted the ball and scored on another suicide goal (and another raspberry for me.). At that point we were tied 3-3, and in the next two minutes Conrad scored to give us the win, thus vindicating the nameless bad-ball player. I can only think that if Joe had been there (he's at a relative's wedding - I mean come on - PRIORITIES JOE!) it wouldn't have been so bad. Joe is a force out there -and if nothing else, he'll put you on your aaa if you try to score.
We won the game, thank goodness, because Matt would have had a helluva time at home if they hadn't (whoops, did I give up who played the bad ball?!) We are now 5-1 and in first place in the league...
We also had a pretty great cheering section - Mom Bragg, Tani, Marcus, Tom, Heather, Amanda and Will, Andy, and Conrad's wife Angela (who us setting me up with a friend of hers, and who's number she gave me... Finally) came and were cheering the whole time for us - which was awesome. I just hope that our giving up three goals doesn't stop them from coming again.
Next week it's Sweden again - let's see if I can keep Joe from giving me Cauliflower Ear...
