OpeningDay
0-0 at the half, vs KenRoc. Yvon had one bounce off the cross bar and back into play. Mason had a near miss — and Matt de Groot almost converted on a cross by Karl Price, in Matt's first-ever organized game.

The Choppers fielded the oldest player in the league (that would be me, not quite 58) and the youngest, Ralf's son Andrew who is 15.

KenRoc got on board early in the second half, then picked up four more for a 5-0 win.

Ryan Cartwright (new player from Abby) stepped into net so Matt Jarvis could have a run. He made a great slap-save on the goal line, to keep it from going to 6-0.

J.B., our ref, couldn't decide which Lubben was most deserving of a red card: Ralf or his 15 year-old son Andrew.
