MOVING ON FROM SUMMER TO WINTER

BARON FOOTBALL LEAGUE CONTINUES TO RECRUIT!

Baron Says...

It's been a great summer of soccer this year.

The BFL is going strong, although there were a few things that seemed to interfere with operations of  how I wanted this league to run.

First and foremost was the continuing lack of guys showing up.

Understandably, it's summer, and we'll miss games due to going out with the family and friends.

Injuries take a toll on the body as well, and I am very sympathetic to that reason!

But there are more than a few guys who are consistently not showing up.
Whereas we had many full teams in June, the counts for some of the teams have gone down.

And that's a shame, considering that new player signings are not keeping up with the old players just not showing up.

What this also does is stop me from making the teams more even.
If I know I can count on nine or ten guys a week to show up, then I can move bodies around to make the games more equal.

Oshawa City Lokomotive and Dynamo Bowmanville S.C. are teams that continuously bring men to the field and the results show it.

You can't win games by plugging new guys into teams every week, only to find that they're on a different team the week after.

So, if you can make the games...please don't let your team down.
It affects a lot more than your team.

OSHAWA CITY REIGNS SUPREME

GAME WITH COURTICE SETTLED BY ONE GOAL

RECAP:

OSHAWA CITY vs COURTICE

The battle of the Round Two giants began with Lokomotive fielding just enough players to avoid being defaulted.

Action was non stop from end to end...with each team seeing posts and crossbars.

A brilliant goal by the "dream team" of Curtis and Brad in the second half seemed to light a fire under the league leaders.

But Courtice held strong, kept in check by the wily veteran Keeper Trevor.

On the last play of the game, Captain Anders led a charge, only to come up empty.

The entire game was settled by one goal, to Oshawa.

BOWMANVILLE vs WHITBY

The lads from Whitby seemed a bit deflated without their Captain, who is currently undergoing surgery to repair a tore muscle.

Physicians for Whitby tell us that Captain Robb could be out for almost three weeks!

But the game was virtually even throughout most of the game.

In the last ten minutes, though, Bowmanville, who needed the points to stay in pace with Oshawa, broke it open.

Video Assisted Replay was consulted on the two Green goals, which were allowed by the Official upon closer examination of the evidence.

This game ended 4-2.
