With Nico in Denver, it was down to Kyle and Maya to celebrate Mother’s Day in person with Jeanine. They treated her to a shopping spree for plants and herbs and a lovely dinner.

Due to a shortage of players, I was reassigned from my normal wing midfielder position to a striker during my soccer match this morning. I made the most of my attacking position and earned our team’s “man of the match” honor. Below is this game report.

Big thanks to everyone who showed up since we were short on subs, with
only three. At the end of the match, we had no subs with Fari injured,
and we were protecting Eric and Frank for the tournament this week.

Medfield conceded a goal today, so I think we are now probably the
only team in the entire OTHSL that has not conceded a goal this
season. Special thanks to Steve, Romulo, Eric, and Lou at the back
today. Nick had his first game for us and showed off some nice skills
in the midfield. Mick, Mark, and Frank dominated the midfield,
pouncing on every loose ball. Jerry and Matt played well on the wings,
and Fari, Carl, and Fabian hustled up top.

Man of the match goes to Carl for his goals and tackles and for taking a
few knocks.
