RFC Portraits
Every month, we will feature a Ringleader on the site, along with a short interview about the member’s life, work and play. In every photo, there will be a “RFC Patch” somewhere in the mix. You’ll quickly realize that there are many of us from all different walks of life. This concept was developed by Jeremy Patterson.
As for me, well you’ve seen enough of me! I agreed to launch my portrait first. I’ll do my interview and description later. Thanks to the whole camp for your support on this project. Can’t wait for next month’s member to show!!! Hahaha!!! And yo!!! Try to find the RFC Patch!!!

Week 7
Division B
In Week 7 versus league B leaders (and undefeated) Moldova, the holidays take a toll on your body. Joas Trepanier hurt his knee during his first shift, one false movement and one bad push from behind, the boy was out of luck. We wish him a speedy recovery.
The Ringleaders were quite confident and focused. I don’t think Moldova saw us coming. We contained them well, with very little space for them to maneuver. It was 2-0 for them at half time, the second goal being a handball control that the referee failed to see.
An inspiring performance by our midfield saved us the match. Hassan Tounkara was brave today, exchanging the ball and executing precise plays between Dan Marrett, Ian Kenedy, Jeremy Patterson and Danny Pexis. The match ended 2-2, with a questionable action at the end of the 2nd half. Danny Pexis was clearly going on a break, while the last defender of Moldova touched it with his hand. He deserved a red card, but only got a yellow. I’m clearly frustrated tonight. I’ve seen teams behave better without referees on the pitch. Do we really need them in these amateur garage leagues?
Division C
I was about to write my report on this game when I received a group email from RFC’s Director of Football, Angelo Destounis, which summed up our performance and the game perfectly, so I’ll quote directly from his email:
‘With Vince and Joas injured, Team C had a big challenge. A very inspiring performance boys, we had them at 2-1, we only crumbled with 10 minutes left because of fatigue. And if Naz wouldn’t of hit the post, we had them at 2-2. For those who missed the game, Paul connected with Marrett on a crazy goal. It has now become a legend, you’ll hear about it 200 years from now, in some prophetic book found in ancient ruins.’

Week 6
Division B
You can’t win them all. Week 6 versus Atlas Lions was a good game. We played strong. The referee failed to see the handball on their second goal, with only five minutes left to play. Referees can do that; take away points. One thing they can’t do; take away that beautiful goal we scored. Angelo Destounis sent a nice curling ball from midfield, pass 2 defender’s heads. Jeremy Patterson then stepped back with a diving header pass to Danny Pexis, that half volleyed the ball into the net. We lost 2-1.
Is it that lock we have for the locker room? Injuries are a serious issue this season. So far we lost Jesse Bowden, Julien Roussin-Cote, Thanasi Destounis. However is reading this out there, please be careful when you square off against people that don’t know how to play. Try to anticipate their foul movements, read their temper and calculate their actions.
Division C
For the second week in a row RFC were up against an unbeaten team. This week it was our old rivals, the Ballkickers, who were standing intimidatingly on top of the Division C table.
Despite having a number of players out for this fixture we knew we could still steal the win. From the beginning, no-one gave less than 100%, and even when we went a goal down no-one stopped trying. And with our efforts, deservedly we went level with Kevin scoring his first goal of the season.
The final twenty minutes of the game were definitely good for the neutrals but pure anxiety for anyone on the sidelines. With chances at both ends (and a superb goal stopping challenge by Paul 107) we were finally undone by a really tidy piece of play, which consisted of a pin point through ball and a very neat finish.
With three minutes left of the game we attacked with everything we had, but their keeper was exceptional and clawed a sensational volley from bart out of the top corner. So after some intense pressure and a few goal mouth scrambles the Ballkickers held on and claimed their first victory against RFC. Overall a very satisfactory team performance with the Captain holding things together superbly at the back.

This might be a vision Johnny had. Perhaps his perception of a referee. Matchday 6 is a new day, so let’s start fresh again. The quote “Fail to prepare, Prepare to fail” comes from Roy Keane.
