A great all-around performance highlighted by Mike's Goal of the Year strike from 25 coming at the end of a masterful chain of passes from Garret to JeffCo to Dave, thence to Mike who one-timed it into the upper right 90, with a finger-tip brush by the keeper insufficient to deny it. Singularly spectacular.

Two world-class saves by Brad anchored the forceful D, who grabbed the Fossils' spirit early and strangled it into submission.

The scoring began with Ben juking the keeper after an unassisted breakaway, continued later in the first half with Eric heading Allan's corner-kick into the clouds, from which lofty height it eventually descended, with torque, falling behind the keeper, off a defender and into the net. Ray closed the scoring in the second half, cashing JeffCo's sweet entry pass in the box lower right.

Great season, Pellmen! Get ready for Summer!

On a Slippery Day, Pellmen Edge Bounty, Sandwiches Eaten

A 3-2 Pellmans victory. Goals by Ray, Garret, and Ray for the Pells and by Matt D. and Bruce for the Bounts. Sandwiches and snacks provided by Al, who was not in attendance. Thanks, Al!

Kugizaki Paces Pells Past Murphs

A late game goal from Josh broke a scoreless deadlock against the Murphs today. A well played game, with the back and mid lines poised and solid throughout. Good ball movement, frequent field switching, and tough-nosed D told the tale.

Despite several good opportunities on both sides, no one managed to ripple the net until 7 minutes from the whistle when Josh took a slot pass from Ray, outpaced the defender and slid the ball near side for the game winner. Stand-ins Kieran and Nat made convincing cases for regular roster spots if they want 'em.

Big ups to Pellman Sr. and both partiarch and matriarch Edwards for filling out the rooting section!

A Day After Easter, Pellmen Lay an Egg

Meaning played a superbad game and fell to Atomic 4-2. Ward's stellar play, notching both goals and bringing creativity and power up and down the pitch, were about the only bright spot in a contest that had us missing ducks, hitting the post, and generally doing everything fairly badly.

Pells Hold On For W Against Bounty

A nice showing and a great effort by the Pells secure a 2-1 victory against kissin' cousins Bounty. Ray opened the account pivoting off a slot serve from Josh and launching one from 25 yards out that found its way through keeper Moss. Ben scored what proved to be the game winner mid-way through the second half with a low drive coming off a rebound from Josh's shot. The Bounty-ites made it close with minutes to spare and poured on the pressure in stoppage time but the equalizer never came and the Pells marched off winners.
