Although the first goal was scored by Maritimo they took a 7-1 drubbing from DV8 Elete.

But the referee crew was the best. Ben R could have given 3 cautions but gave none. This was superb game control on his part.

Vince A is a top-notch center and he was the other AR!

I blew an offside call. Called offside when it was not.

The roti remains the best. The soup delicious. The tofu and veggies was tasty. So which drink is Tom’s and which is CMD’s??

This was a match for first place. This was a great match. I was very humbled to be in the middle of this match.

This match had a little of everything. Ball hit referee, center and AR disagreeing, penalty kicks, fans taunting player and fans taunting fans. High school drama all the way.

Larry T was the AR on the Logan side, few disagreements. Jairo C was the other AR and we had a couple of mistakes. The 3-2 result was a great result for the match.

Logan vs Kennedy boys this was easy

Danny M did a great job in the center and it was my first match with Keith S.

Don’t know why the boys played so civilized but we as referees had a great time.

Edie and Randy were great hosts for this annual dinner. The 36 people that attended all had such a good time talking.

Edie and CMD were the head cooks preparing chicken with cappers and green salad.

The wine flowed and flowed. A couple of notables in the photo. These meals are some of the best I attend.

Dutch blitz two nights in a row – gosh we were loud

tomkendig — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 05:10:28 +0000

Lillian won the first night. Dan the last game we played the second night. Kathy had a good time playing and Lynn and anna and David.

We are still working out some of the finer parts of the rules. Like the difference between blitz to end the game and ? to stop the game.
