I wanted to try something new for the Corvallis Sports Park championship night this time. Capturing video of the games was making it very difficult for me to actually watch and enjoy the game. So I put the camcorder away and took play by play notes instead. Let me know what you think.

Coed Competitive Dvision
JT and the Sexy Backs (SB) vs. Crown Royals (CR)
1st Half
23' The CR keeper drills his own defender with a panicked clearance but recovers well enough to save a would be silly goal.
19' CR goal poacher Laura is wiped out near the SB goal but no coall. It appears the tone for the game has been set.
17' The women on both teams look tired. Niether team has a female sub.
16' GOAL! CR keeper George saves, Rube picks up the clearance and quickly counters against the run of play. (0-1)
13' Scott earns a shot on goal for CR but Cudo saves. SB is outshooting CR by a large margin though.
10' GOAL! A cute little give and go for a close range shot by Manuel. (1-1)
7' A high clearance gets the ball stuck in the net. SBis still the sharper looking team with more chances at goal.
5' Ian commits a foul defending and gets verbal. He is fired up.
4' GOAL! Laura shoots wide of the far post but Rube cleans it up nicely. (1-2)
2' CR player Stephanie goes down holding her knee at midfield. The magic ice is delivered and she walks to the bench on her own.
5 secs SB misses a goal from six inches. No kidding.
2nd Half
22' GOAL! Diana crosses into the center off the wall to Rube who nails the volley home. (1-3)
21' Tami beats the keeper from the top of the arc to score for CR (1-4)
19' GOAL! SB isnt done yet. They score on a far post shot. (2-4)
16' GOAL Things are heating up. Bodies are flying. Fernando scores with his right just inside the red line. (3-4)
14' GOAL! SB leave a woman to defend Rube herself. Bad idea. (3-5)
12' GOAL! A rare header finished by SB. (4-5)
8' GOAL! Laura falls on the ball in the goal mouth. A scrum insues and Ian finds an early Christmas gift as the ball squirts out. (4-6)
5' Manuel finds an open teammate on a breakaway. Swing and a miss! Manuel is obviously skilled but he needs to do more on his own.
2' Allie crushes Luara for a whistle. Allie fouls Tami right after. No card. Yikes!
1' GOAL! SB scores. Can they pull it off? (5-6)
15 secs CR keeper gives up a silly red line shot but SB waste the chance.

Congratulations to Crown Royals the Coed Competitive Division champions.
Do you like this kind of game commentary? I have game notes for both of the other finals but Im going to have to post those tommorow. The Euro 2008 tournament is killing my free time.
