On a late Sunday afternoon in crispy October, the Onion Creek wind swiftly swept in from the south, whispering of unforgiving bounces and exuding an “anything goes” attitude. The Badgers of Cameron Road United gathered their strength at Field 6 of OCSC for the late 4 pm game.  CRU made a good showing in numbers with 15 strong, and erecting a three-tent…

With the dreadful summer season fading into memory like that one time Ryan claims to have scored five goals in a game, the Honey Badgers embarked on their second season in Over 30B with high hopes.  Unlike last year, there was no Chris Peterson party to celebrate his freshly painted deck to knock out half the…

Thank God it’s over. While some of the other Over 30 B teams were lounging around in D5, Cameron Road United was given the harsh task of competing in the “under 18 year old & stock your team with premier player league” – D3. It was rough going, but today’s game against an Over 30…

In what is becoming a futile effort to play two complete halves of soccer, Cameron Road surrendered their 2-1 lead against red-hot Deportivo yesterday in a 3-2 loss. The Honey Badgers actually carved out one of their best performances of the season against another bunch of youngins’, but failed to hold onto the lead in…

Well, it only took 7 weeks, but the Honey  Badgers finally got their first win of the summer season yesterday, beating a depleted Most Interesting Bitchy Team In The World 3-2. In typical Cameron Road fashion, the game included a squandered lead followed up by a brilliant comeback. Lots of ins and outs to the…

The summer slide continued yesterday as Cameron Road United fell to Morelia 4-2. Although they were outplayed in the first half and went down by three goals, it’s wasn’t all doom and gloom as the Honey Badgers fought back and had the better second half. Late goals scored by Way and Dermot ignited the comeback against…

Cameron Road earned it’s first point of the Summer Season yesterday in a 3-3 draw the Slaughter Inferno crew. It was a competitive game that was marked by some dodgy refereeing and a crazy final 10 minute, 4 goal finale. With a full crew of subs in the tent (including fresh Punter meat Aaron and Glendon),…

The Summer Season. A glorious mixed bag of games versus just about anybody of any age. This week’s edition featured a matchup against Galaxia FC, who took pieces from their D1 team and mixed them with about 10 talented kids in the 17 year old range. It was a little strange. They Honey Badgers fielded…

The Honey Badgers started the summer season off with a highly entertaining 7 goal thriller against the Austin Blues. The narrow 4-3 loss was tough to swallow, especially since the referee disallowed Ryan’s would-be winning goal near the end of the game. It was a good turnout for the first game, and on-loan Punter Travis…

If you happened to catch the Champions League final, it was a good analogy for The Honey Badgers last game of the 2013/2014 season. Like Atletico Madrid, Cameron Road stood toe to toe with Austin Athletic Club until they were overcome by injuries, exhaustion, and a lack of fresh bodies to call upon. The final…

With a rag-tag squad, a dew-soaked pitch, one tent, one sub, and a shitload of beer, Cameron Road took the pitch for a do-or-die title battle against Cosmos. The Honey Badgers needed a result and some help from the other top four teams to ensure any hope at the title. Unfortunately, they got neither. An…

  Cameron Road United stayed alive in the race for the title with a resounding 4-2 win over the pesky Dragons yesterday. Without Daenerys Targaryen to guide them, the Dragons came in a wounded beast, failing to score in their previous four matches. The Honey Badgers weren’t exactly coming into the game on a high…

It was not a good showing for Cameron Road yesterday. They were beaten soundly by Cosmos 4-1.

It was back to business as usual on Sunday as Cameron Road United beat Takoba by 3 goals and got right back into the logjam of teams vying for the title. While there were about 20 subs last week, this time around there were plenty of Honey Badgers out, either injured, out of town, or…

It was a glorious sunny day at NEMP. The temperature was holding at a pristine 65 degrees, the wind was a cool 5mph out of the north, the turf was a radiating hue of green that looked fresh out of a Skittles packet…. oh who am I foolin’, it was another disaster of a day…
