D1 Champs

For the second season in a row my soccer team, Concord United, won the Division 1 Championship for our age group besting the other 27 teams. Regulation play resulted in a 0-0 tie. The ensuing penalty kick shoot out ended with a score of 4-3 in our favor. I played despite a cracked rib and sore muscles from yesterday’s Tough Mudder and finally managed a good photo of the whole team. The winning PK by our stopper is shown below.

In other soccer news, Nicolai worked with the New England Revolution MLS team to have an amputee soccer demonstration (3v3 no goalies) during half time over their game this evening. The American Amputee Soccer Association flew in a couple of players for the event and they all stayed at our house last night. Here is an Instagram recording of the demo including a goal and subsequent forward flip by Nicolai.
