All the rain has stopped. The turf at McCarthy should be nice and green. It is going to be clear weather on Sunday morning. Let’s play.
9:00 AM kick-off at McCarthy. Bring a white shirt, dark shirt and water.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.

You may be be thinking that the food and treats from holiday parties and celebrations have you slowed you down. Don’t spend any time worrying about it. Of course they have.
The good news is that the weather for this Sunday looks like (as of now) to be acceptable for us to get in a game. It would be great if we could have a good crowd at McCarthy this week. Let’s try and get together for a 9:00 AM kick-off. That means that the warm-ups, shoe tying, and cozy little catch-ups are finished by then and we’re actually playing by 9:00.
Dark shirt and white shirt. Bring water. Looking forward to seeing everybody and having a nice kick around.
There is a small chance of rain. The hourly forecast seems to indicate that we should be okay in the morning. I’ll be there. If I’m out there by myself, I’ll just look more dedicated than everyone else. :~)

Good news is no snow or rain. Bad news is that the predicted temp for Sunday morning is 24. That is below my comfort level.

Rarely do you see the weather forecast say 100% chance of anything. Sunday is supposed to be 100% of cold rain. This time of year that rain is cold. No soccer this Sunday.

The good news is the rain tomorrow should melt any remaining snow from the McCarthy Middle School field. The bad news is…. well, the rain; and cold, etc… So, let’s hold off playing one more week. Hopefully, we will resume play next weekend at McCarthy. Enjoy another week off.
Fields are not available. Even the turf is still covered with snow. We will hope to get back out there next Sunday at McCarthy turf.
As I suspected, the rumors of our possible inclusion in the “Super League” made things a little weird last week. I guess I should not have been surprised to have seen photographers at the field. Perhaps it is just something that we’ll have to get used to.
Keep working out and watch this space for when we’ll be playing again. Hope that it is soon. Next week, there should be lots of college students home to swell our ranks. Also, high school season is over.
Happy Thanksgiving. I know that this game and this group of people are in my “blessings” column.

I can only comment on some of the rumors circulating about the potential of a “super league” being formed. Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayem Munich, PSG etc. are all rumored to be joining this. I can confirm that the New England Revolution have not been asked to join. I can neither confirm nor deny whether or not we’ve been approached to join. However, we should probably try to keep in top form in case. So, I expect to see everybody at the big field at Harrington ready to kick-off at 8:30 AM this Sunday.
Bring a white shirt, dark shirt, and water.
Keep an eye on this space for updates as to when we move back to the turf. But, for this week, report to Harrington.
Lawrence
This is the weekend where we turn back the clocks. So, you should get an extra hour of sleep before playing soccer at 8:30 on the big field at Harrington.
At this point, the weather looks good for Sunday. Hope to have a large turnout of players. Bring a white shirt, dark shirt, and bottle of water, and a good soccer ball if you can.

I just checked again. CYSA still has the fields marked as “Closed”. The hourly weather forecast indicates that it will rain on and off all night. So, I doubt that the field will reopen in time for us to play.
We should be returning to the turf in a few weeks; where we would not have to care about the fields being too muddy. But, for now, I think it is no-go for this Sunday. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Lawrence
High school, college, travel, MLS, EPL, etc. are all playing right now. Who are we to let down our soccer brethren? Sure, I have long sleeved shirts packed for tomorrow. But otherwise it should be business as usual. We must play to be in solidarity.
8:25 on the big field at Harrington. Don’t forget to bring water.
Anybody high school age and older is welcome as long as they respect the game and the people playing. White shirt, dark shirt, and no grey shirt (unless you want to play keeper all game).
