February 8, 2010 Super Start Even though it was cold and rainy, some how all 3 Rahr men's teams played on Sunday afternoon. When it was all over, Rahr ended up with a win, a loss, and a draw. FC Rahr played against PIM SC again, but this time the match counted in the season standings. It was a shaky start as Rahr finished a few goals, but allowed a few on the other side of the pitch. However, newcomer Ethan DeNolf made his presence known by finishing the first 4 goals for Rahr and eventually tallying 5 goals in the match. Paul Baker also managed a hat trick and Fred Hawkins finished 2 goals in his first official match with the squad. In the end, Rahr ran away with a 12-2 victory and will be preparing for a heated match against the league's defending champions, Dome City FC, next week. Rahr United entered Sunday's match with many new faces as they looked to continue their success in the Battle of the Beers. Fat Tire would score first on a PK, but Brad Liddle would even the match a few minutes later with a 20 yard blast. Kyle Wilbur would finish a cross from Edgar Salas just before half time to put United up 2-1. Cesar Escobar would extend the lead to 3-1, before things would deteriorate. Fat Tire scored on a counter and then found the equalizer on a corner kick with 3 minutes to play. Despite 75 minutes of solid play from United, the match would end in a 3-3 draw. Rahr City was short a few players as they faced FW Wanderers on Sunday. Despite some good play from their defense and few chances on goal, they would eventually fall in a 3-0 loss. They look forward to adding a keeper and a sweeper to their line up next week. Week 1 Six Pack Player's of the Game: FC Rahr - Ethan DeNolf Rahr United - Cody Yarborough Rahr City -
January 24. 2010 Pre-season Matches Each of the men's teams were in action on Saturday, as they prepared for their season openers next week. FC Rahr had a friendly match against PIM SC, a long time premier team. Rahr managed a favorable outcome, as they continued to work on their form for the season. A few notable additions in the last weekend of preparations were Ethan DeNolf, Brent Erwin and Kyle Mittendorf. We look forward to seeing these guys on the field, along with the many other additions for this season. Rahr City and Rahr United faced off in a interclub derby that only the rain could cool down. City started the scoring to go on top 1-0. After that, it would be all United in a 5-1 final. Edgar Salas added 2 goals along with Jake Bailey, while Troy Marquez added another. One notable addition was Ashely Carvajal, who will be playing with Baylor All Saints this season. She had a great game with "the boys." The Spring 2010 season will kick off next Sunday and schedules will be posted Wednesday night. Be sure to check out our final rosters here.
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. |
