Week 8

Division C

It’s been the coldest December in 28 years. January will be no different. Bad referees, handballs, illegal tackles, injuries, goal posts are part of the game. Short of players? Snow storms? It’s all part of the game now.

Ready to start 2010 and forget 2009. The Ringleaders are receptive, focused and determined. Our Captain Nick led the defense, backed up by Kevin and Paul 107. Jonas played in goal.

We played intense football, as MTL-FC was short of subs, their weary legs couldn’t hold up for the 2nd half. To their surprise, once again reunited, the Trepanier brothers (Jeremie and Joas) played a superb match.

After missing many chances to score, including a volley shot by Jano Arabaghian, Jeremie found Joas on 2 occasions which ended with a goal. With only 5 minutes left, The RFC brought home the 3 points needed and moved up on the league table.

Division B
Another tough fixture in week 8 as RFC 2 faced Sabbah, one of the form teams of Division B, and with a couple of key players still away on vacation.  It was good to see that Joas made a quick recovery from last weeks injury scare and was back on the pitch.
Sabbah are a strong well organised team and it was always going to be hard to break them down.  Everyone worked hard in the first half putting in a good performance and this was rewarded by a magical Danny Pexis goal from nothing to keep us in the game.  No-one on the whole pitch anticipated Danny’s over the shoulder volley into the far corner, it was beautiful.
Unfortunately, in the second half tiredness set in and cohesion waned, and Sabbah continued their relentless pressing game.  The effort was there but we were unable to develop any quality possession with the ball and we lost another close game 2-1.

This week’s match programme was designed by Luca. Since joining The Ringleaders, The one known as “Weird Beard” has blessed us with his wisdom in many ways. The latine quote on the graphic means “Out Of Many One”.

The quote explaining the meaning of the phrase was written on ancient stone in Mesopotamia 3,000 years ago: “Well, It’s because were ALL different… but were ONE team… with the SAME love for football…” Some say God entered Luca’s body while he made this epic masterpiece.
