Frostbite Cup 2010 plus Art Show curated by Dr. Football
At last, at Parc Louis Cyr on Saturday, March 6th 2010. Kick off at 1pm. Extra love to New Balance, and Jeremy Wirth for the Match Programme.
The Snow Bunting is a little bird of the northern hemisphere, an arctic specialist to be precise. I fell on it during a research. I’ve never seen one since it lives on high mountain tops of the arctic region, including Scotland and Alaska-Yukon.
Being Canadian, this passerine bird is also called “Snowflake”. I found the name quite representative of our logo. My second point, the picture I found was impressive. I felt this bird was humble, yet grumpy, and willing to fight for it’s survival.
If you know me, then you know I have an obsessive and addictive personality. That being said, you’ll be seeing more and more of the “Snowflake”.

Art Show curated by Dr. Football: a dedication to Vicente Feola @ 8pm Off The Hook Gallery
The Ringleaders are under serious observation by Thanasi Destounis. The so called “Dr. Football” is constantly analyzing both physical and mental progress of the members of our club.
After a long and extensive research, much value was found within the story of Vicente Feola, the head coach of the Brazil 1958 World Cup Champions.
In a few words, Feola was the first to bring dietitians, massage therapists and psychologists to the world of football, before the British or even the Germans ever thought of such a scenario. The Brazilians ran tests on their players, by making them draw out their inner emotions on a piece of paper, while awaiting the grand tournament. Wonder what Pele, at the tender age of 17, might of drawn out? Man!
Funny? Yup, homeboy had a beer belly. Rest assured he knew the game of football like the back of his hand. Dude changed the game forever.
Please observe as the Brazil team of 1958 poses with their massage therapist Americo. The look on his face says it all. Homeboy is dead serious. The rest of the team seems so cool about it. Epic revolution.

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)
