A Practice Sunday Afternoon…
Since we have a two week break from our championship season, it was a perfect scenario to roll up to our beloved Louis Cyr pitch. Sunday around 1pm. And for some reason, it was one of our best pick up sessions. We laughed a lot. Edwin was so funny. This 3 touch rule is doing wonders I tell ya…

Know?Show soccer match!
To brief you on this event, The KNOW?SHOW is Canada’s Premiere Lifestyle Tradeshow. So for business, I’m heading to Vancouver along with Harry to meet people and look at some new lines and stuff. Our homey Nick Brown from Lifetime Collective is organizing an industry soccer match. I’m quite honored to be a part of it, as The Ringleaders will be there to represent. That includes Raj Mehra, Ian Kennedy and Jesse Bowden!

Action Shots From Our Pick Up Tuesdays
Over the past few weeks, The Ringleaders are playing quicker and faster. You will rarely see a dead ball like this one I promise. We play 3 touches maximum. That means you must keep your head up at all time, receive, control and pass/or shoot. Three options in less that 2 seconds really…
Mr. Robert Fox on the corner kick.
Max Desjardins here pulling a quick turn in the midfield. He often drives quite a distance to make it out to practice. It’s always a pleasure to witness his brilliance on the pitch.
Standing in the middle of the action there (in white) is our most recent discovery. A gentleman both on and off the pitch, Eric Lamoureux has brought enormous stability in the defense. Standing next to him is Bart Graziana, the man that needs no introduction. If you look up on the header of this website, well that’s Bart… he’s very popular, especially with our Sunday league referees;)
Vincent Tsang was on fire last night. Keep up the good work little man. You can call him Wu Tsang if you’d like.
Bobby Destounis has made much progress in the past few months. His anger is well managed as he is in full control of his emotions. In this case, Rob might of pushed it too far.
After an explosive winter season, Edwin Tubb (on the right) is finally hitting the back of the net. His vision of the game and positive work ethic has brought much success in our midfield.
The RFC’s injury list will drop in numbers soon enough. A hopeful Jesse Bowden received some positive news last night, as we might see him on the pitch in less that 6 weeks. Don’t forget Jesse scored the very first goal of the Winter 2009/2010 season, but withdrew early from the squad due to a knee injury. We send our regards and best wishes to Thanasi, Julien, Marie-Claude, and Nasser (standing next to Jesse) for a speedy recovery as well.

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.
RFC 1-2 Ballkickers (Kevin)
Atlas Lions 2-1 RFC 2 (Danny)

Week 3
The Greeks give it a miss. My father warned me about this day. History repeats itself. And as southern europe stood in disarray after the fall of Alexander it was left up to a mighty Roman, Augustus, to continue the progression of our civilisation. But unfortunately I’m english, and at the time of Augustus, civilised was not something the english were well adversed with. And on this day, with the greeks gone and no romans in site, I found myself in Brossard…alone, in charge of both teams and holding a large box of socks, more socks than I’d ever held before.
Division B
Luckily I quickly realised that I wasn’t there alone, I was there as part of Ringleaders FC and as I handed out the new socks to my team mates I knew we were capable of anything. So at 4pm, RFC 2 lined up for their game against Real Montreal and the team stepped up and put in an extremely solid performance. Unfortunately, we were limited to sharing the points with Real Montreal, with the post and crossbar presenting us with seemingly unfathomable problems, but with Rod making some extremely sharp saves we were not too disappointed with the draw and left the field somewhat content. The game finished 2-2.
Division C
As RFC warmed up for their 5pm game against Once Amigos, the confidence we were taking from RFC 2’s performance in the first game quickly dissipated as I was faced with a referee holding a horribly inaccurate team sheet. After 25 minutes of haggling with the flimsy bureaucracy we had to paid to govern us, two of our players were deemed illegible to play. This ruling was outrageous and cloud of negativity and confusion descended upon the team.
This aura of confusion seriously affected our play and we lacked the concentration needed to put a stop to our somewhat consistent opponents. We fell to defeat for the second week in a row with the lowly result of 6 to 1. Heads dropped as we left and I knew it was going to take more than the return of the Greeks next week to pick us up.

After his much inspiring first goal of the season, Jesse Bowden is on the rise. Matchday three is on a “Brigade” tip, paying tribute to Dirty Rotten Imbeciles.

Week 1
It’s been awhile, but we’re back.
Both RFC teams marched together on the pitch last month. After a whole summer of pick up sessions and practice, and many new faces added, we joined the Total Campo league once again.
The “placement” tournament went well. We landed a squad in Division B and Division C respectively. As the official league season kicked off Sunday, November 15th 2009, both RFC teams played well. Let’s take a closer look…
Division B
After losing their first placement match to Lachine FC, the boys were ready for their comeback debut, winning 2-1. As the defense and midfield stayed solid, both RFC forwards Ian Kennedy and Danny Pexis shined throughout the match. Joas Trepanier was fully back and in great form, as he scored the opening goal. Danny Pexis then brought home the victory with 15 minutes left to play.
Division C
The first game is always a tough one, especially after the successful season we had last year. But it’s always good to get back together as a team and welcome some new faces into the fold, and welcome back some players from long term injuries (who were looking particularly hungry for some action).
We hadn’t had chance to develop any rhythm as a fully functioning squad yet, so there was only really one thing left for us to do and that was to scrap out a victory, and that was exactly what we did. The team came together, not with fluidity we had dreamed of the night before, but with a resounding stubbornness that was expressed all too naturally. A superb finish by Jesse Bowden, stylishly slotting the ball under the opposing keeper, inspired the 3-2 victory. We left Brossard pleased with ourselves and relieved but that was to be short-lived.

A new idea for the new season. Jeremy Wirth launched our very first match programme.
Lachine FC 1-2 RFC 2 (Joas, Danny)
RFC 3-2 B-Town Select (Jesse, Angelo,—)
