There will be pickup, however, at the Moses Brown tennis courts field at 6:00 PM. 2) Games are supposed to start at 6:00, not 6:30. As the season progresses, it will keep getting dark earlier and earlier, making it even more imperative to start on time. Everybody should be showing up at 5:45 ready to play by 6:00. 3) Next Wednesday July 5th and the following Monday July 10th, there will be no games at Brown. We will have 3 games at Wheeler Farm in Seekonk and 1 game at Moses Brown both nights. There are no games on Wednesday July 12th also. 4) If you need a ride to the games in Seekonk, contact your captain ASAP. WEDNESDAY JULY 5 Gold vs. White - Moses Brown tennis Courts Berry Red vs. Pine - Wheeler Field # 4 - (Field Hockey) Key Lime vs. Denim - Wheeler Field #5 (Baseball Diamond field closer to road) Purple vs. Black - Wheeler Field #6 (Baseball Diamond field away from road) (Directions are at the bottom of this post) On to the games: Black 17 Pine 16 (By Loring of Black) Both teams had a fair number of subs, but black was missing some of their major speed in Kirk Kaczor and Dave Gondek, which was a factor against the fast and hard running Pine team. The first half was very close, with the half at 9-8 (pine). Then - pine up 13-11, pine up 16-15, black ties it at 16, next goal wins. The last point went back and forth - each team got within 10-15 yards of the opposing goal line at least twice. Then Black turned it over on the sideline, about 15 yards away from their own goal - pine was 15 yards away from a score and the win. Pine took a timeout, and it seemed that all would be lost for Black, but Black's trap worked well - Kevin Nagle of Black ran by his man and made a huge D block. Black again worked it down the field, and Moses hucked to Kevin in the endzone. The throw went over his head, and it looked like another turnover. But Greg Altimas appeared from nowhere and made a huge, diving layout for the score and the win. (Captain Moses of Black adds on) Pine is a really great team: hard running, exciting deep game. They've lost a couple close ones now, but I promise they'll be in the running. Vette played very well for them, but I was most impressed by their women. I think there was one named Sarah who really hurt us: great hands, cuts on target, always hustling on D, a couple of fingertip catches. (Sara Towne is her name). Some highlights included: Big Tom McCollum getting open for at least 3 deep strikes from me for the goal and chuckling like a madman after catching them Greg Altimas making 2 VERY exciting plays: a fracking sweet layout block around his man on a cut back to the disc, and the final catch. The throw was, in spite of what Loring says, to him, not Kevin...just wanted to save some face. Kevin Nagle, new player extraordinairre, making a sweet sliding catch in the end zone on a long huck from me, and having both teams calling it a goal from the sideline...and calling the disc down without a second thought. It was absolutely fantastic: nobody would have debated the call if he has called it a goal, and he was probably the only one who could have known it'd hit the ground. The triumphant return of Paola Perez, our top women's pick, from an ankle injury. We are considering a name change to the Mighty Morphin' Paola Rangers. I think the standouts from our team were: Sarah Cook, who had another very dependable and solid game, Maureen Fitzgerald, who is a totally new player but is making great cuts, solid dump passes, and has a great sense of field space, Kevin Nagle for all the reasons previously mentioned (that block on game point was HUGE), and Greg. But it was really a team effort. RIPUL Ultimate: catch the excitement. White 17 Key Lime 8 I don't know any of the highlights sorry, just the score. Purple 16 Berry Red 14 (From Dr. Bill Binder of Purple) Berry played an awesome game with June Park and Megan Spyres, two of the women on berry accounting for many points. June made a true ultimate highlight grab---- a one handed layout in the endzone on a deep toss by Flip. The game started out with a quick 4-1 lead by Purple. Berry played hard and swift with Pranay, Flip, and a couple of the other guys on their team moving the disc fast. Purple answered each of Berry's points, with Mike Schein shining with multiple hucks and true handling acumen. Purple was up at the half 9 -6. After the half Berry played well-Matt Grund handling with devastating left handed accuracy. The score got to 11-10, and it was neck and neck. Purple got a couple of huge points. Steve ( a newbie) caught a short pass in a crowded endzone for a score and Karen Binder scored on two separate occasions---one a give and go pass from me, and another on a long huck from someone. This last pass took the score to 15-13 and purple eventually ended up on top in a soft cap 16 -14. It was a good game with a great berry cheer at the end a la Hendrix. Gold 17 Denim 11 This game was relatively close in the first half and Gold took a 9-7 lead at half. Kara D'Avanzo was huge all night on O for Gold, highlighted by a grab for the score with Tim McBride right on her back. Denim challenged early in the 2nd half and pulled to within 9-8 and then 10-9. Mike Dussault threw me a curving backhand that I was able to adjust to and make a 1-handed layout snag for an 11-9 lead. Gold then turned up the defensive pressure lead by Eric McAndrew , who almost always matches up against the other team's best guy. Gold went up 15-10 and then the teams traded points until Kara was able to finish off the game with another score.
