Week 15
Division B
After a week break, our beloved Ringleaders had a tough match up against Division B 3rd place team Atlas Lions. It’s the second time both clubs face each other this season. It’s always good football.
RFC 2 had good rhythm, executing the ball from the defensive line, all through the midfield. Danny had 2 men on him at all time, so it was difficult to get to him.
We lost focus for half a minute, which gave Atlas Lions the lead of 1-0 at half time.
The Ringleaders came out strong in the 2nd half, but with little luck; Danny hit a post, Jonas as well. Again, by trying to pressure the attack, two deadly mistakes in defense brought us down to 3-0.
A solid ball from Angelo way back targeted to Danny’s foot brought our hopes up, but with little time left, the match ended 3-1 for Atlas Lions.
Division C
Fatigue is a reality, but not in this case. With many RFCers playing both matches today, they gave it all they had, displaying a beautiful effort and a great representation of football.
Naz was definitely on his heels, as he gave good passes to his midfielders, and also scored his very first goal for The Ringleaders.
Nyala had revenge on their mind, since we beat them earlier on this season. They scored 3 straight goals, to make it 3-1 in their favor at half time.
Late comer Bart came out roaring in the 2nd half, helping Max score 2 goals in less than 5 minutes. Dan had assisted on the plays. We had hope of winning this match.
But… wait a minute here. If you remember the disastrous match versus FC Alianza last December, then you remember that awful referee. We had him again. He cost us the match, and maybe our playoff chances as well.
If anyone at Total Campo is reading this, please hear us out. The referee (don’t know his name, and don’t want to either) let ten handballs go loose, which one of them cost us a goal. He also let a ridiculous confusing situation of a throw in end up as Nyala’s 4th goal, which made us lose the game. Even Nyala players couldn’t believe it was a goal. We respect and support your organization, but for the love of the game, please get rid of this awful referee.

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.
