The Concord United Over 50 team I play for finished our spring season this morning in second place with a strong 7-0 victory.  This result qualifies us for the Division 1 playoffs (top two teams from the North and South regions compete tournament style for top honors) which begin next weekend.  I suffered a slight groin muscle strain 15 minutes into the match and was forced to sit out the remainder of the game.  Nearly one third of the team is currently injured and our chances against Stoneham next week do not look good. Their team includes  three former professional players from Brazil and they finished their season with a +33 goal differential compared to our +11.  It is doubtful that I will have recovered sufficiently in time to play but I am not without hope.
