Game six - we beat Stoneham

The weather was perfect, the pitch was perfect ... the stage was set for a good game between old rivals. Frank was out so Tony was back between the sticks and he played very well and secured the clean sheet. The striking thing about today's game was that everyone played well ... front to back a solid performance. We did not panic, we kept the ball and made relatively few mistakes. Cain scored a couple of goals early on and Captain Flicky decided to drop a striker back into the midfield for the second half. This did limit our chances somewhat but essential eliminated their chances. This was a strategery master class by the cagey veteran.

Doug Vigliolottacanelloni played in a deep lying position for the whole game and put in a composed and solid performance ... what is so special about this I hear you ask? Well, composed and solid are not two words that come to mind when thinking about young Douglas ... more like "wild and crazy". I think that overall the whole team played a composed and solid game and what do attribute this to ... management of course. The thoughtful management of the team by one Captain Flicky. Management that I believe will take us into the play offs and possibly to the ultimate glory of winning it all.

Elsewhere around the league Boxford tied Marblehead so we go into second place, tied on points with Marblehead. Boxford lost to Napoli so it's really a three horse race for the two top spots.

Dimos and Dennis provided the post game feast. Dennis shot a water buffalo in Rhode Island with a muzzle loader and then made it into venison chile. A muzzle loader is a device that secures a muzzle to a horse by way of a system of pulleys and belts. It was invented at the turn of the century by Mr Athur Muzzle of Barking in Essex, England.
