Well, like the Dallas Cowboys, the first half of our year hasn’t exactly gone the way we planned it. Coming off a record-setting second place D2 finish last year, we had high hopes of competing at the top of the division this time around, but things havne’t exactly gone our way. We find ourselves in…
It’s time to say goodbye to one of Cameron Road’s finest ever players as John Ammerman played his last game for the team yesterday. John has been a great player and and one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet for the last 6-8 years and we’ll all miss him on the field and off….
The Fall Season ended with another defeat for the boys in red, Cameron Road was beaten by Strikers FC on a sunny day in Manor by two goals. As many of our games developed, this was a tale of two halves. We couldn’t quite find the right gear in the first half and suffered for…
Cameron Road 3, Stoney Point 1. As I write this after a big pasta dinner, a beer or four, and a giant bowl of Dutch chocolate ice cream it still sounds sweet. Wearing our always effective alternate ARM jerseys, Cameron Road finally produced a winning performance this afternoon against a pesky Stoney Point squad. I’m…
Andy and Neely tied the knot on Saturday night. In typical Andy fashion, the groomsmen were either barefoot, wearing soccer cleats, climbing boots or running shoes. It was a great night for all and we wish them well.
I think it’s safe to say that we are the best team at the bottom of the division.
We just can’t catch a break this season, can we? For all our efforts of peppering the goal (or vicinity of the goal) with shot after shot, unfortunatly we’ve got nothing to show for it.. again. We must have had 15 shots on goal yesterday, some came close; some… well were kicked in the general direction of the goal.
Did we gain a point, or loose two? That’s the question. At this stage in this difficult season, I’ll take the point and continue our tortuse-like climb up the Div 2 table. We got some good news early as Dermot returned from injury and Onome made his welcomed return to the pitch after a season…
For some reason I’m in no mood to write the game report. I think I’m still upset that we missed an opportunity to get the full three points yesterday. I’ll get over it.
To paraphrase BT on the sidelines, “this game used to be a marque matchup, but now it’s a battle of the cellar dwellers…”
The “Battle of the Pubs” lived up to the hype, but unfortunately for us, we eneded up on the wrong side of the score sheet…. again. Not even the return of our former star forward, Jared, could boost us to victory and a much needed 3 points.
We started the game up two players and ended it down one. Failing to capitalize on our first half advantage and possession, we quickly went down 0-1 from a 40 yard bomb from a shorthanded Black Star Austin team. You can call it luck or a great shot, anyway you slice it, it gave them…
We could blame this one on the fact that 90% of the team was fighting a hangover from Andy’s bachelor party, or that Hurrican Ike was a bust, but honestly we should have come away with at least a point from this game. Give Struggle some credit, they came out in the first half and…
In the third installment of the bowling ball chronicles, we headed out for a day of celebrating Andy’s upcoming wedding in typical guy fashion: With guns, the wilderness, beer, a sportsbar, the bowling ball, downtown chaos, a bicycle parade, and a lot of screaming. The day started out at Texas Paintball, where we proceeded to…
It was hot, we were a bit rusty, the Ranch lacked the power of the mohawk, but we still managed to get a victory and start off the new season on the right foot. We scored within the first 10 minutes of the game, unfortunately it was against our own team as an unlucky series…
Thanks to all who survied the cabana party at our house this weekend. It was a great success! And for those of you who missed the fun, be sure and check it out next time it rolls around. Note to self: beer, margaritas and Wild Turkey straight from the bottle are not the best of…
I know I speak for everyone when I wish Captain Andrew Magilow and his family nothing but success and good times as they move on to Big D. He has been the glue that has held Cameron Road United togehter for almost 10 years. Good luck brother, you know where to find us if you’re…
Nice way to finish off the summer season. A resounding 7-0 win against an overmatched (let’s face it boys, this wasn’t Jah Love we were playing) Chopped Liverpool. Highlights included a Ryan Willis hat trick, a thumping header by yours truly, additional goals by Bob and Dermot, a shutout by the defense, and Chris Peterson…
Cameron Road bounced back from the previous week’s nasty defeat at the hands of Fade to Black with a convincing 4-2 victory over Shiner FC. The always popular rivalry was a heated match with plenty of pushing and shoving, a very chatty female ref and the fastest ever goal scored by Billy Milton. Big John…
On July 21st, after a particularly nasty defeat at the hands of some folks straight outta Middle Earth, the Reverand Thomas delivered this sermon to his flock. For all of those not there today, you picked a good one to miss. We were beat by Shire FC in shameful fashion, including a goal against in…
