DR1 goes to the Futsal Final

We should every proud of the improvement the DR1 team has showed this Futsal season. We have been not running practices in order to play futsal (we are an outside soccer team afterall) but the boys really showed they have caught onto the style of the indoor game with good decisions and footwork.
We were sleepy through the first game of the tournamnet and were lucky to escape with a tie game for 1 point. The second game was a differnt story with intense play throughout the 30 minute game. We beat a very good Bayside team giving us the 3 points needed to make it into the final.
All reports, back to me from both sides, were that the players gave it their all in the final championship game and played to a 3-5 final score (where was the Coach Robert anyway?)

Futsal weekend games

Great weekend of Futsal. We played a game against the girls from Smithfield and they really showed us how to play the game. We have been playing against skilled players in the past but not against a team that really knew how to take control of the game. They were challenging our every move on the court, challenged free kicks and took advantage of our inexperience throughout the game. We needed a strong effort to keep up with girls on the court and hopefully learned a lot about the game of Futsal.
Our Sunday game was against another form of the Bayside team, different the Bayside team we beat on Saturday. This team had more speed and hustle and we were coming off a tough game against the girls. We had a slow start and lost ground early . We hung in latter in the game, caught up to them and let the second unit finish out the game holding the more talented Bayside team and bringing the game to them with more entusiasm and hustle. Great weekend of futsal.
