I'm a bit disappointed with the amount of open-division teams participating in this year's PA West tourney, but it still should be a good time. Plum is in our division again, which gives us a chance to put last year's unlucky 1-0 loss behind us.

See you 9am Saturday!

Report: Rhode Island permits 16-year old strippers, Brian H misses playoff game to go to Rhode Island

Perhaps it's just coincidence, but it's just been reported that Rhode Island law permits minors as young as 16 years old to perform in gentlemen's clubs. It shouldn't be surprising then when Brian H missed Saturday's playoff game to go where??? You guessed it, Rhode Island.

United lose to Montour

What can be said? A bad ending to a good season. The one lesson we can take from the game - particularly for you college guys - is that when we went down to nine players, we started being responsible with the ball, which is how we need to play all of the time. We worked hard off of the ball and played quick and simple passes. Because of this, and despite the fact that we had no subs and were playing two men down against a good team, we carried the play.

Thanks to everyone for a great season!
