December 14, 2009 It's Finally Over... Kind of. Some thought that the Fall season would never end. To some degree, those people would be correct. However, the Men's Fall 2009 season has finally come to a close. FC Rahr took on the Spurs yet again, in what would be back to back matches againt the elite team. However, this game would not turn out favorably. The Spurs, by some miracle, had more subs than Rahr and would use that to their advantage. The finally tally would have Spurs on top 6-1. FC Rahr finished the season 3-2-3 record in games played with a 3-2-4 record including a forfeit. Rahr City and Rahr United both faced short handed teams, but some how did not come out on top. There were very few bright spots in either match, but both teams just looked to finish the season. Rahr United ended their season 3-2-5 while Rahr City finished 3-1-6.
December 11, 2009 Baylor All Saints Win!! The Saints beat the Oui Wobblers to clinch the top spot in their division. It's been a great season for Baylor All Saints, as they have played to a 5-2-2 record. 
The Saints celebrate victory at their usual spot, Buffalo Wild Wings! Next season will be tought, as the Saints will move up to the top division in coed. The Crackers and Beans, who have won the league for numerous seasons, have already laid down a challenge to the team. Hopefully, Baylor will have another successful season, and make a run for the top spot. Congrats to them for a great first season!
November 30, 2009 Rahr Derby FC Rahr won the first ever Thanksgiving Classic in a 5-1 victory over Rahr United. There were lots of events to celebrate during the festivities, most notably the fantastic goalkeeping by Lukasz Gorecki. Yes, you read that correctly, not Greg or Artur Gorecki, but that other one Lukasz. After scoring a hat trick in his previous outing, Lukasz put together an all together different hat trick by keeping the ball out of the net. Some might argue that his distribution from the box was not up to par, but his combination of kick saves and punches more than made up for it. In other news, Tony Sanchez's muscles did come off with the white base layer shirt that he was wearing. Karim Zeglam opened the scoring for FC Rahr while everyone decided to quit when, of all people, Max Martinez scored the final goal of the match. In between there were flurries of brilliance from both squads, but nothing could outshine the hobbling of Jake Bailey. It was painful to watch his limbing up and down the field as he was thrice denied by United, who vowed that Bailey should never score against their squad. After incessant complaining by Chandler Wagner, the match finally came to a close. It was a match to be remembered and to be repeated upon any challenge with in the club.
November 23, 2009 Triple Up? The trend continued as one Rahr team would not see the field in the weekends' activities. However, all 3 Rahr teams would earn 3 points in the season's first "perfect" outing. FC Rahr took on Spurs, who have continued to dominate and win the Premier Division, season after season. Kyle Wilbur would put Rahr on top in the first half with a neatly placed shot in the box. Not to be outdone, Tony Sanchez performed a juggling act, beating all 4 Spurs defenders, finished off with a looping header over the keeper, all unassisted mind you. In the second half, Tony Golovich barried a ball passed the keeper on a Sanchez cross. The Spurs would put away a brilliant shot and then draw within one on a PK. Shortly after, Chris Lockwood received a ball from Golovich at midfield with no one in front of him except an out-of-position keeper. Lockwood proceeded to take quick peek at the net and then make the keeper look silly with well placed ball, shot from around midfield. That would put the game on ice, as Rahr went on to a 4-2 victory and to pull within 3 points of first place with 3 games remaining. Rahr United earned three points in a second forfeit from Los "Missing" Guerreros. United looks to continue their points streak against Dillos in 2 weeks. Rahr City faced United's former nemisis, Makeshift, in a heated Sunday afternoon battle. Arthur Kajfosz would add 2 goals, while Josh Cohen added another on a PK. Cohen would go on to lead the defense in protecting a slim lead and eventually a 3-2 victory. City looks to mix things up at the top of their division as they play the top 2 teams in their final games. FC Rahr - Tony "Twinkle Toes" Sanchez Rahr City - Arthur Kajfosz
November 16, 2009 Playing in the Rain Well it seemed too good to be true for all of the Rahr teams to play in 3 consecutive weekends, and indeed the rain kept FC Rahr off the field. But alas, 2 teams got to enjoy the action in the rain. Rahr United bounced back to their winning ways with a 5-3 trouncing of FC Chaos. United scored first and maintained a lead throughout until the final whistle. Both teams refused a half time break in the pouring rain, in order to get a final decision. Lukasz Gorecki contributed 3 goals while Jared Turner and Ernie Johnson added a goal a piece. United looks to be back in form after revolving door of management in the last few weeks. Rahr City took on one of the division's best, SSC Napoli. Their game was also interrupted by a stint of rain, which may have contributed to the loss delivered by Napoli. The final whistle had City trailing 5-2. Rahr United - Lukasz "I don't play defense" Gorecki Rahr City - Josh Jacobi
November 9, 2009 Double Up For the second week in a row, all of the Rahr Men's teams were in action on Sunday. Unfortunately, not all of the results sided with our favorite teams. The club was 1-0-2 on the day. Once again, Rahr United opened the day against Mutiny, a familiar foe. After trying out a few new things, United found themselves behind. Ernie Johnson netted a goal to draw the score closer and Ritchey found the net late in the came to bring the score to 3-2. However, that is where the scoring stopped and United felt the punishing blow of defeat again. Rahr City took the field against Maverick immediately following the United game. Low team attendance led to a few key absences and City was left without any substitutions. Todd Hayes worked hard in the corner to get a cross into Adrian Lopez, which he buried to put City on top 1-0. That's where City left off and Maverick picked up, netting 4 unanswered goals on the way to a 4-1 victory. FC Rahr played under the lights against PIM SC in their second meeting of the season. Both teams played with only 2 subs, but it was a heated battle on the field. The score was 0-0 at half with both teams creating great chances. Clayton Everett broke the deadlock when he dribbled past the offsides trap and scored over the keeper. Soon after, Chris Lockwood would draw a PK and David Peterson would put it away. Finally, Tony Sanchez would finish a cross, flicked on by Walter Barazza. PIM SC would net a late goal, but great defensive play out of Karim Zeglam and John Allendorf would stop the opponent there. The final score was a 3-1 win for Rahr, exacting the 3-1 loss delivered by PIM SC earlier in the season and bringing FC Rahr to 2-2-2. FC Rahr - Karim Zeglam and John Allendorf Rahr United - Rahr City - Todd Hayes
November 6, 2009 Baylor All Saints Slices Through UNTHSC The Saints returned to the field after a 5 week break, during which some players forgot they were even on the team. Once everyone arrived, the team found themselves facing UNTHSC in the second "Hospital Derby." However, this time BAS would be victorious. UNTHSC capitalized on a PK to go up 1-0, which would be the tally going into the break. At half time, some very well dressed, handsome young fellow made a few crazy adjustments... crazy like a fox. Mary Brannon would equalize the game on a PK early in the second half. Chris Lockwood put the Saints on top when he buried a ball from 22 yards out. Later, Brad Henson would put the game on ice as he slipped a perfectly placed shot past the keeper to extend the lead to 3-1. Brannon would lead the charge on the back line as she shutdown the opponents most dangerous attacker. The final whistle gave the Saints a 3-1 victory and a leap to the top of the standings. Miracle Worker of the Match - Mary "Moon" Brannon, She's a vegetarian
November 5, 2009 Rahritas Win! The Rahritas played their first match in team history at Cowtown Soccer tonight. The occasion was kicked off with a festive parade of nations followed by a fierce match on the small sided pitch. Rachael Anderson opened up the scoring for the Rahritas, and it never seemed to stop. It was hard to guess the final tally, but some estimate that it was a 10-1 victory. It was a proud day in the history of FC Rahr. Footnote: The FC Rahr Men's Cowtown team also won tonight, 4-3.
November 4, 2009 Rahr United (Indoor) Cruzes to Important Victory Rahr United (I), or iRahr United tallied a very important 3 points last night in a win over division rival, Apex. Tony Sanchez scored 2 goals, while Stevan Cruz defended the goal in the 7-3 result. iRahr is looking to repeat their victorious campaign from the summer season, where they were crowned champions of the league. The team is halfway done with the fall season and they are a perfect 4-0, outscoring their opponents 25-9. Johnny Ferraro has successfully managed the team to a 10-1-1 record over the last two seasons.
November 2, 2009 Win, Lose, or Draw, But they all Played! For the first time in 35 days, all 3 Men's teams actually played on Sunday. No forfeits, 3 real live games. When the day was done Rahr went 1-1-1. Rahr United started the day against a long time FWASA team, Dillos. As the day would unfold, the entire game was played in the first half. Dillos jumped on top 1-0 for a brief moment, when United equalized the game at 1-1. Lightning struck twice as the Dillos went on top again 2-1 only to matched again by United with a quick goal. That's where the game would stand at half, and at the final whistle, resulting in a 2-2 tie. Rahr City played in it's first battle of the beers, only to be flattened by Fat Tire. It was a rough match as City would fall to 2-1-2 after a 6-0 defeat. FC Rahr stumbled onto the uneven pitch at LMRA to face 9/11ths of a team. For those not good at math, Blitzkrieg only had 9 men to play the game, while Rahr had exactly 11, for a while. Travis Cooper put Rahr on top 1-0 and Blitzkrieg leveled the game at 1-1 before half. In about the 55th minute, Jake Bailey went down with an ankle sprain, leaving Rahr with only 10 men. Both teams would score again before Clayton Everett would put away the game winner, for a 3-2 victory. This was FC Rahr's first win of the season. FC Rahr - Clayton "Mount" Everett Rahr City - Eliseo "eLo" Lopez Rahr United - Ben "Ozzy" Osborne
October 27th, 2009 Two Weeks in a Row! For the first time all season, each of the Rahr teams played a game in consecutive weeks... almost. Click photo to view album. FC Rahr sort of played a game against Dome City FC. Dome started the scoring in the first half, and kept the lead going into the break. In about the 55th minute a Dome City player was given a second yellow and had to leave the field with the game still at 1-0. Some how, FC Rahr went on to lose 4-0. Rahr City played a tough match against Makeshift. City went up early taking a 2-0 lead, thanks to Javier Trillo. However, Makeshift would storm back to a 3-2 victory. 2-0, it's the toughest lead to defend, or so they say. Also, keep in mind, City had missed the previous week due to a forfeit. Rahr United tallied their first points of the season due to a Guerreros forfeit. United did manage a scrimmage, as most of their players actually attend games. Some might say that the scrimmage was one of the team's best showings this season. Both sides put together a fluid attack with consistant possession through the midfield.

October 19th, 2009 Last Minute Changes Once again, the Rahr teams took the field after a long break from action. The madness started Sunday morning and continued until the final whistle of the day. When it was all said and done, Rahr went 1-1-1. Unfortunately, Rahr City did not get to take the field as their opponent forfeited Sunday morning. UNTHSC was unaware that games would be schedule during the planned bye week and had to make a last minute decision. However, for City this means another 3 points in the standings which should land them somewhere around the top of the table! Rahr United took the field against the Refugees after a heated battle in their first match. While there is quite a bit of time between the matches, both teams have only played one other game since their last feud. The Refugees had not forgotten, and went on to pummel United 6-2. FC Rahr faced a familiar foe, Panther City FC, late Sunday afternoon. The game was rescheduled to a 5:30 meeting early Sunday morning. The scoring started with a Panther City goal which was equalized on a terrific shot from Kyle Wilbur. Panther City scored in the last 30 seconds of the first half to go up 2-1. The second half was another battle as Rahr came out with 2 goals. Tony Golovich scored the equalizer and Jamie Southern put Rahr on top about halfway through the second half. However, as time was running out Panther City notched the final goal to put the game at a 3-3 stalemate. Oddly enough, this is also the 3rd tie in a row for these teams with results of 1-1, 2-2, and 3-3 in chronological order. FC Rahr - Jamie Southern Rahr United - Rahr City - UNTHSC forfeit
September 28th, 2009Rahr Football Family Returns to Soccer After taking a 4 week sabbatical to explore other interests, all 4 Rahr teams were back in action this weekend. However, as one would expect, the break didn't exactly improve anyone's performance. Baylor All Saints started the weekend with a noon game on Saturday against UNTHSC Coed. There were only 12 players available for the match, and things quickly digressed from there. The Saints missed multiple opportunities and fell to 1-1 on the season after a disheartening 3-1 loss. Click photo to view album. Rahr United played against Mutiny, a spin off of long time foe, Makeshift. Perhaps their name was inspired by their inception. United went on top 1-0 on an Ernie Johnson goal, who was easily spotted with the name Johnson across his back. Unfortunately, that tally would not hold up long as Mutiny scored 2 late goals to defeat United, 2-1. Click photo to view album. Rahr City continued their success in a match against Maverick on Sunday afternoon. In another team first, City scored early and held onto a 1-0 lead to secure the victory! Congrats to the team! FC Rahr took the field, a perfect, immaculate field only fit for Soccer Gods, against PIM SC on Sunday night. Rahr was also victim to a short bench as they went on to lose 3-1. Jamie Southern scored in the second half to give Rahr a spark, but they could not manage to find an equalizer in the match. It should also be noted that some players may have performed below average due to a loss of blood suffered by what some called a "mosquito plague of Biblical proportions."

September 4th, 2009 Lightning and Thunder Baylor All Saints coed team kicked off their inaugural season last night against the Summer Division 2 Champions, Mixed Nuts. After going down 1-0, Rachael Anderson and Kristen Bastien scored to put BAS on top 4-1. Inclement weather stopped the game in the 58th minute with Baylor on top 4-3. Congratulations to the Saints for their first victory! Go to the Saints home page to check out their blog by Ruthie Norten! Miracle Worker of the Match - Stevan "Cruz" Cruz August 30th, 2009 Season Openers The Rahr Football Club opened its Fall 2009 Season with a crazy day, including 4 goals, 4 red cards and club first. The club ended 0-1-2 for the day. Rahr City opened the season for the club in a tough match against UNTHSC. Javier Trillo registered the team's first goal in the first half. UNTHSC battled back in the second half to tie the game, which was the final result. Rahr City recorded its first point in team in history in their very first game! Rahr United took the field after City, excited to showcase their off season improvements. The game started well with Ernie Johnson assisting a goal to Lukasz Gorecki. However, by the time the break came around, United was down 2-1. The second half turned into a circus as United saw 2 red cards, and a fan ejection, while their opponent also recieved one straight red card. The game ended 3-1 in a United loss. FC Rahr played a night battle against Panther City FC, a top ranked opponent. There were some bizarre calls made in this game including 2 PKs for Panther City. After going down 2-0, FC Rahr, or rather Walter Barazza battled back to tie the game 2-2. Later, Barazza would be sent off for an alleged "blown kiss" to the referee. The game ended in a 2-2 tie. Rahr City - Greg Sadler Rahr United - Greg "Was that English?" Gorecki FC Rahr - Walter "Kiss, Kiss" Barazza
August 29th, 2009 End of Pre-Season FC Rahr ended its last pre-season practice for the fall 2009 season. Expectations are running high for all 4 Rahr teams. Each team looks to battle for the top spot in their respective divisions. Stay tuned as the season gets rolling! Rosa Rojas prepares for Baylor All Saints first season in coed.
August 9th, 2009 Fall 2009 Pre-Season Charlie Schlott scores off of a corner kick over Ogewu Agbese. Thanks to everyone that came to our first open practice for the Fall 2009 Season. We had a great turnout and look forward to a successful year! There is plenty of work to be done as we train and organize our teams in the coming weeks. Please be sure to attend next weeks open practice if you are interested in playing. Fred Hawkins had a great showing on Saturday and we hope to have him back soon. Unfortunately, we have already lost a very talented player for a few weeks. Fred Hawkins went down with a broken ankle during a full field scrimmage. We hope to see a full recovery by the end of this season. Marc Asmode, Kyle Wilbur and Jake Bailey look forward to a good season at Cowtown Soccer. We'd like to send out a special thanks to Cowtown Soccer and Marc Asmode for allowing us to use their equipment during our practice. If you are intersted in playing at Cowtown this fall, please email Kyle Wilbur at cowtown@fcrahr.com. Here are a few key dates for the Fall 2009 Pre-Season: Open Practice - August 15th, 9AM to 12PM Club Friendlies - August 22nd, 9AM Rahr Atletico vs. Rahr United August 22nd, 10:30AM FC Rahr vs. Rahr Reserve August 28th, 8:45PM FC Rahr vs. Spurs Over 30 Cancelled Season Openers - August 30th
July 28, 2009 A Look Into the Future Two more Rahr teams finished their seasons last night, and perhaps one of them was looking ahead, all the way to the year 3000. Rahr United played their arch nemises, Makeshift. It was rumored that the game would be cancelled but it turned out to be a flood match instead. United clinched the division title a few weeks back, and they played like it. As they looked forward to their future in Division 1, they forgot about finishing division 2. As a result, they lost 2-1. But alas, they are champions. Rahr Atletico looked forward to putting this season behind them, but performed well in their final match for the summer. Atletico lost 5-3 but has shown continous improvement throughout the season. We look forward to their success in next season's table. Rahr United - Johnny Ferraro Rahr Atletico -
July 21, 2009 Turn Around, Every Now and Then Two games were cancelled for the week, while FC Rahr and Reserve were in action at Gateway. Both teams were looking to put favorable spins on their seasons as the last few weeks have not been stellar. FC Rahr played Panther City who beat them 4-3 in their first match this season. PC went up 1-0 in the first half and held on to that lead for quite sometime. David Peterson buried a ball in the 90th minute to pull out a 1-1 tie. Rahr finished their first season in Premier with a respectable 3-2-3 record, tallying 11 points in the standings. Rahr Reserve has had a rough time since week 1 as they have been looking for their second victory in the season. After a few players had a heated practice on Saturday, they came out for blood Monday. This time, they downed The Village 5-0 and had them running scared back to the woods. FC Rahr - Ogewu Agbese, David Peterson Rahr Reserve - Jon Kresena
July 14, 2009 The Crown Jewel Only one team really mattered last night, and that was Rahr United. They continued to prove their dominance, as United clinched a Division 2 Championship. Overall, the club went 1-0-2 as Reserve had the night off. Here's how it went down: Rahr United gave their opponent no chance in a lopsided 6-0 victory. United has outscored their opponents 15-1 in their last 4 games, while they have only given up 4 goals all season. It is clear that they have earned the top spot in Division 2 and will make a run at Division 1 next season! FC Rahr played to a dismal 4-2 loss against Blitzkrieg. While nothing apparent went wrong, nothing ever went right either. They started the match down 2-0 and never battled back to even the match. On the upside, Ogewu Agbese returned to the field and the team is looking forward to their final match against Panther City. Rahr Atletico continued to improve in a high scoring shootout, losing 7-4 against Maverick. At one point, late in the match, Atletico tied the game at 4-4, only to see victory slip through their hands again. The team is hoping to end the season on a high note against Select next week. Rahr United - The entire team as they earned a division title. Rahr Atletico - Yanick FC Rahr - In recognition of United's accomplishment, FC Rahr is honoring them with a second Player of the Game.
July 7, 2009 Survival Week As the season heads down the home stretch, the Rahr fleet has started to wear a little thin. Each team was missing a few key players and went into a bit of survival mode as they struggled to get results in week 6. The final count was 1-1-2. Rahr Atletico started the night with only 8 players. The team would eventually field a full squad, but would play without Aaron Knight who has suffered a broken rib. Unfortunately, Atletico fell to Fat Tire 8-1. Rahr Reserve was also missing a few players and played their game with a short bench. They have had a tough time ever since their victory in week 1. This week was no different as they continued their winless streak with a 3-0 loss. Rahr United continued to make their club proud in a dominating victory over Maverick, despite having a short bench as well. Ernie Johnson earned a player of the game with a hat trick while Artur Gorecki also kept a clean sheet. United maintains their position atop the standings in Division 2. FC Rahr looked to right the ship after dismantling last week, still without keeper, Ogewu Agbese. In addition, Rahr was without leading goal scorer Golovich and staple midfielder Schuessler, leaving them with only 3 subs for the game. After a slow start and falling down 1-0, Rahr scored on a PK earned by Walter Barraza late in the second half to draw 1-1. Rahr Atletico - Steve Carroll Rahr Reserve - Rahr United - Artur Gorecki, Ernie Johnson FC Rahr - Walter Barraza
June 30, 2009 Let Down Week After experiencing the let down of the US National Team against Brazil, the Rahr squads continued the trend downward as they came out 1-3 in week 5. FC Rahr started brilliantly against the Spurs, a perennial powerhouse in the Premier League. Each team created great chances in the first half which ended in a 0-0 tie. Unfortunately, FC Rahr was let down in the second half as they suffered a brutal 7-0 loss. In addition, Rahr's new keeper, Neo Begovic played superbly until injured in the 52nd minute. Once again FC Rahr is left searching for a goalie. Update: Neo Begovic has suffered a broken fibula in his ankle. He will not be able to play for the rest of the season, or even drive a car for that matter. Rahr Reserve looked to bounce back against the Mutiny this week and had a great start as well. However, Reserve had a second half let down, but didn't suffer quite as harsh a blow to their pride in a 3-0 loss. Similarly, Reserve lost a few players to various injuries, up to and including stitches to the head. Rahr Atletico had their best showing to date against Makeshift in a Division 2 show down. Atletico battled hard only to lose a heartbreaker, 2-1. In opposition to the rest of the club, Atletico actually added guys to their line up who have given them a little pep in their step. They are really coming together and are looking for their first win next week! Rahr United was once again the shining star in the Rahr Universe with a 3-1 win over Fat Tire FC. It was another great "Battle of the Beers" and we are proud to say that Rahr was once again proven superior to Fat Tire. Not only was United victorious, they have propelled themselves into first place in the division. FC Rahr - Neo Begovic Rahr United - Michael Berte Rahr Reserve - Josh Cohen Rahr Atletico -
June 23, 2009 Rivalry Week This week, each Rahr team was in a rivalry game of sorts. The results were about as good as one could hope, with 2 wins and 2 losses. Rahr United and Rahr Atletico squared off in a heated derby match which was the first ever inter-Rahr game. Atletico came out hard and played an excellent first half that ended tied at 0-0. It was unclear if either team really wanted to draw any blood, but eventually United found the net a couple of times. The final result was a United 2-0 victory. Rahr Reserve was thrown into the mix against Dome City FC, which has a few former FC Rahr players on the squad. While the Reserve roster does not list any of their former teammates, it was still a game that each team wanted to win badly. Dome City came out on top in a 6-0 route, which was also their first ever FWASA victory. Congratulations to them for the win as we hope to see them continue to develop in the league. FC Rahr was pitted against the only team they have played in each season, fall, spring and summer. Rahr led the series 2-1 entering their fourth match against the Dillos. Unfortunately, the Dillos were not able to field a full squad and FC Rahr took full advantage in an 8-1 blow out. The club has made it to the midpoint in the season, and has been very successful thus far. Each squad continues to work hard and improve each week. We are proud of our teams, and look forward to a great second half of the season! Rahr Reserve - Kevin Yosten Rahr Atletico - Mike Templeton Rahr United - Lukasz Gorecki FC Rahr - Tony Golovich
June 16, 2009 United Stands Together, the Rest Fall All of the Rahr teams were in action last night, and each team got all they could handle. Unfortunately, the club saw only one favorable outcome, but each team gained experience and knowledge to build on. FC Rahr played last season's Premier Champion, Panther City FC in a heated battle for 3 crucial points. Panther City opened the scoring and stayed on top throughout the game, but FC Rahr battled hard and nearly tied the game late before falling 4-3. This was FC Rahr's first loss in 18 games, which ended a 9 game winning streak. In addition, Rahr has been in first place in their standings for 17 consecutive weeks, dating back to "The New Team" in 3rd division. FC Rahr looks to get back on pace next week against the team that served their last defeat on October 18th, 2008, the Dillos. Rahr Reserve played its second game of the year with a few new faces on the pitch. However, the Reserve defense may have been distracted by red-hooded monsters that were reported to be seen in the Gateway Woods surrounding the complex. As Rahr fell back into some kind of unadvanced form of soccer, The Village escaped the walls of their back line and discovered a whole new world of victory at 4-1. Rahr Atletico found themselves, yet again, without a keeper, which was only trumped by the lack of a manager. Atletico fell victim to an unfortunate traffic jam that held up their manager and resulted in a forfeit. On the upside, Atletico had a great showing in their scrimmage against Select. Rahr United was the only jewel in Rahr's crown last night, as they stood strong against an old foe, Makeshift. Mike Ritchey opened the scoring and Ernie Johnson notched the game winner. Greg Gorecki kept United in the game as they came out on top 2-1. Rahr Reserve - Tyler Zawacki Rahr United - Greg Gorecki FC Rahr - Max Martinez Reminder: Go to each team's home page to read more about their match!
June 12, 2009 Injury Updates When you have 80+ guys competing at all levels in various venues, there is bound to be injury set backs. FC Rahr stands behind their players when they are out, and rallies around them to bring them back to the playing field. Currently, we have 3 guys going under the knife for knee injuries. Andrew Birkenheuer and Mike Tapia will be going into surgery on June 24th while Jesse Groff's surgery is scheduled for June 22nd. We expect to see these guys back on the practice field late this year or early next year. Hopefully, they will be competing again by next summer. Although they may not be able to play, we will still see their faces at Rahr games and events. Also, we have a new discussion board for anyone that would like to give some words of encouragement.
June 9, 2009 Week 2 After a great start, Rahr dove into Week 2 with high expectations, resulting in 2 wins and a good effort in a loss. Rahr Reserve had the night off as they look forward to a tough match against The Village. Rahr Atletico had the first game of the night, in which they scored the first goal in team history. Aaron Knight found himself alone in the box after a great through ball and he promptly buried it in the back of the net. However, Atletico would go on to lose 4-1. Rahr United saw their first win of the season in a 4-1 route over Select. United opened the scoring, but Select quickly evened the match at 1-1. The second half was dominated by United, who started to finish their opportunities. FC Rahr used the momentum from the season opener to propel themselves past Blitizkrieg 5-1. Blitizkrieg took an early 1-0 lead but were overtaken 2-1 before the end of the first half when Chris Lockwood and Tony Sanchez finished 2 goals just before the break. FC Rahr - Tony Sanchez Rahr United - Mike Ritchey Rahr Atletico - Aaron Knight
June 2, 2009 Season Openers The Rahr Football Club opened their Summer season with all four teams getting into the action. It was a great start for the club with 2 wins, 1 draw and a loss. FC Rahr defeated PIM SC 7-1 and Rahr Reserve topped Los Guerreros SC 2-1. Rahr United demonstrated great control against Maverick EGW FC, but could not find the game winner, resulting in a 1-1 tie. In a tough fought match, Rahr Atletico lost 4-0 against Fat Tire FC, a long time opponent of our premier squad. Ian Landrum opened the scoring for FC Rahr, while Martin Cleworth notched both goals for Rahr Reserve and Mike Anderson scored a scortcher for United.
