All things considered, a short handed Cameron Road United closed out the most forgettable of seasons with a gritty 10 man performance, featuring a player that had never even seen the pitch for them. Thanks to Andy’s friend, and newest teammate Adam, for strapping on the yellow jersey and giving it 90 minutes. Adam will…

In a game of two distinct halves, Cameron Road United fell to the Celtic Cowboys by a final score of 6-1. With 11 players to shuffle around, half of which were suffering from the previous night’s tribute to Luke’s upcoming wedding, the bloodshot-eyed boys in yellow took the field against a Celtic Cowboy team that…

Much like the fabled battle at Thermopylae, a few Cameron Roaders stood against many. 10 brave souls faced 19. And just like the Spartans, the men of Cameron Road fought the good fight, and were playing toe-to-toe with the Persians, er, Strikers for 45 minutes when the score was just a one goal difference. But…

At press time, your constant reporter was having a hard time writing about yet another nail biter of a game which saw Cameron Road fall to Elite FC on a last minute goal, but after careful reflection there were many tough and gritty performances that needed to be showcased. Cameron Road’s first blow came before…

Cameron Road fell to D2 newcomers ATX United 6-1 on an overcast final day of SXSW in Austin. A particularly black cloud covered the field for a 20 minute spell in the 2nd half while Cameron Road was still only down by a single goal and looking like the team more likely to put one…

Cameron Road United fell to Black Star Austin 3-1 on the high plains of NEMP today despite a gutsy performance from the twelve players who were in town and up for the early morning match. Battling the switch to daylight saving time and a reorganized lineup, Cameron Road United started the morning off with Jay…

Cameron Road drew 1-1 with Valladolid this afternoon to earn their first points of the Spring Season. It wasn’t pretty, and the officiating crew didn’t help matter out, but it was a well-deserved point for CRU, and hopefully will springboard them into a run of good form.

Different week, same story for Cameron Road United as they continue to fight the good fight at Onion Creek, but wound up just short again. A really solid first half performance saw the CRU defense hold Massive Attack at bay, while at the other end Cameron Road’s attackers had a few cracks at goal. Luke…

Cameron Road United fell to Los Pumas 2-1 on the opening day of the Spring Season. In addition to the loss on the pitch, they lost one of their great teammates, as Bob Hutchinson played his final game for the club he grew up idolizing as a tiny coon ass. Tragic any way you slice…

This year’s installment of the Austin Fall Cup comes straight out of the Twilight Zone. Cameron Road’s results ran the gamut with a 1-1-1 record which didn’t allow them to advance to the knock out rounds, but once again there was never a dull moment to be had.

Cameron Road (or the Bad News Bears of D2), lost yesterday’s game to Valladolid 2-1 and continued their snake bitten run through the fall season. Finishing the campaign with 7 points is actually a high compared to the last couple seasons, but losing 4 out of the last 7 games by 1 goal has kept…

The high plains of NEMP were the scene for Cameron Road United’s 3rd 1-0 defeat in 6 weeks. Another early fluky goal proved to be their undoing against Elite FC during a Halloween game.

Cameron Road United was bitten by the jungle cat as they slipped up en route to a 1-0 loss. The fluid passing and calmness on the ball of the last few weeks was quickly replaced by a more sloppy style of play, although not lacking in effort. Maybe they were expecting to simply tap into…

Playing perhaps its best half of footy this season, Cameron Road United continued their good form on their way to a 1-1 draw with Austin Athletic Club – a team that usually causes them fits. In a crucial game against a top team, Cameron Road hoped to keep the momentum of the previous 3 weeks…

There’s nothing like beating the Celtic Cowboys on a Sunday morning. Doesn’t matter which version your facing, when you see those green and white stripes on the opposite side of the pitch, you wanna take’em down. And that’s just what Cameron Road did yesterday in a thrilling 3-2 victory.

In what was certainly their best 90 minutes of the season, an 11-man Cameron Road held out until the 80th minute when Black Star Austin converted a free kick to give them the win. With no subs to Black Star’s 6, the Cameron Road squad (Chap, Willis, Stripy, Peterson, Leif, Way, Luke, BT, Bob, Ciro…

For the second week in a row, Cameron Road gave up 4 goals in the second half and fell to the Strikers to continue their typical slow start to the fall season losing 6-1.

To say the final 4-1 scoreline was harsh on Cameron Road would be a fair statement. What started out so promisingly for CRU ended in a frustrating defeat at the hands of Massive Attack. Once again, CRU finds itself in a start-of-the-season hole and forced to make up some points.

… for the last 75 minutes. Unfortunately, Deportivo won the battle of the first 15 minutes by scoring 4 quick goals. Anyway, it was a rough day at the office for the boys in yellow and blue as they could not fight their way back from the opening hurricane katrina of goals. Give credit to…

After waltzing through last week’s game with the Celtic Cowboys, Cameron Road faced a much more talented and determined opponent in WTF. The hard fought game saw CRU come from behind to tie the game in the first half, and eventually see out the winner in the last minute of play in dramatic fashion.

On Sunday, Cameron Road exercised the demons of years past by dropping a dime on the Celtic Cowboys and earning a 10-1 victory. Never mind these weren’t the higher division Irishmen who had tormented Cameron Road for years in D2 – on the pitch, the uniforms and accents were the same, and these merry lads…

On a mostly forgettable hot and humid Sunday afternoon, Cameron Road succumbed to the curse of the dreaded ARM jerseys and fell to Austin Athletic Club by three goals. The cliff notes version of the game is that Cameron Road gave the ball away too many times, gifted the visitors several goals, and just couldn’t…

On a sweltering summer afternoon in July pushing tripple digits, Cameron Road United defeated the elder statesmen of Indios 2-1 for their second win in a row and fourth of the summer season. It was a difficult game to get a handle on as the mullet-lead defense of Indios employed a Spanish ‘keep away’ style…

Just like the old days when Andy Magilow was calling the shots, when Billy was just a wee young lad in his 30’s, when Willis was engaged (wait, isn’t he still engaged?), when Chappy had hair (ok, only a little bit, but still), Cameron Road beat up on longtime nemesis Babaganoutch en route to a…
