2013 Peninsula Cup This was pretty much the first time Keegan’s team played together (both in practice and in games). They lost very game, still made it to the consolation playoff game, and came in fourth place. As you can see, they had a blast! Ice cream takes the sting out of missing the 3rd place medal by one point......
It’s a soccerful weekend! Sammy Kate and @bbvortex cheering Keegano on at his first tournament :) Go Peninsula! @drdadof3 #pysc #sk #keegano #soccer #futbol #itsabeautifuldayforsoccer (at Catamaran Park)
Saturday, April 27th: Vortex Blue at De Anza Force Black. Final score: 1-1(PK) tie.
BB's Vortex Games Weekend of April 13th-14th
Saturday 4/13, Blue vs. Alpine Strikers Red at Burgess Park in Menlo Park. Flashbacks to DrDad's time working in MP (and I'll just leave it at that LOL). Teams were well matched. Pretty awful ref hand ball call when BB took a ball to the face and it rolled onto his elbow.... in the box with only minutes left in the game. Other team took a free kick and scored. Fortunately, Randy made a goal and brought it to a tie 2-2.
Sunday 4/14, Blue vs. Santa Cruz Yellow at home. It was sunny, but So. Freaking. Windy. It's just wrong when you get windburned and sunburned and there's no snow nor skis involved. We were tied at the half 1-1. I missed most of the 2nd half because Sammy Kate needed to feed and didn't realize that we'd score another goal. Final score: 2-1.
White vs. MVLA Green immediately followed. All the Blue players wanted to stay and play- I don't think these boys ever get tired of soccer LOL. Again, teams were fairly well-matched with Blue players only subbing in sparingly. Coach Sennay's style is so different from Coach Derek's, something I (and the boys) are still getting used to. Keegan usually watches from the players' bench and listens avidly as Derek coaches the players. On this day, he left to go play with Anya and Mia (Vortex siblings) which surprised me until I realized that it's because Sennay is so quiet. Keegan was bored! LOL Final score 1-2.
This coming weekend is a quiet one for us: only one baseball game and three soccer games. Looking forward to the break!
The U8 White team's third match of the season was at Ramos Park, Palo Alto, vs the Stanford Soccer Club on Sunday, April 14th. Keegan had a blast playing right and center midfield and had several shot attempts on goal. Final score: A lot to one. Sorrows were drowned in cupcakes at teammate Arjun's birthday party. Highlight of the game for Keegan: "Coach Leigh told me I did a great job!"
Sammy Kate is Three Months Old Today! We were playing in her room, doing some tummy time, and listening to music. Then I had to run downstairs to answer the phone (we keep the landline for the grandparents and the orthodontist LOL). When I came back, this is what I found..... A baby sleeping in the crib! For those of you who knew Keegan when he was an infant, you'll understand why I find Sleeping Samantha In The Crib so novel and extraordinary!
Keegano had the opportunity to guest play for the Red Team yesterday in an away game vs Redwood City. He had a blast and the boys played very well together and in position most of the time. His dad and I had a nice time getting to know the other parents on the sidelines. I think the highlight for Keegan was getting a $2 Dippin Dots from the ice cream truck after the game. Final score 1-9. I think. We kind of lost track. LOL.
Here's a cool photo from the April 6th home opener Vortex Blue vs Gryphons Black. BB is blocking former teammate Benji while his fellow Vortex teammate (and former Gryphon) Sanath attacks the ball from the air. This game was of particular interest for the boys and the parents because a few of our former players "defected" to the other club and vice versa. I'm happy to report that everyone- players and parents- remained friendly and showed a healthy and good spirited competitive spirit. I'm also happy to report that we won 2-0.
BB at his first away game of the season on April 7th at Winchester, San Jose vs WSL Mexico Green. I was home with Sammy Kate but I heard that it was a very physical game. Final score 2-3.
Keegan, or "Keegano" as Coach Shea calls him, at his first club game on March 23rd. White vs Blue at Catamaran Park.
