Sometimes playing in the summer season can be tricky – the vacation bug can strike at any time, making it challenging to field a full team – today was one of those days. If your 8-year old was watching the game on ESPN, he would have asked “Daddy, where are BT, Peterson, Dermot, Jay, Big…
Chappy here…. posting up Lukes report all the way from Mexico. See you guys soon! As team “Chap-tain” settled his gargantuanly-nude head down for a lazy week of Coronas and charro beans, Cameron Road United strapped on the supple leather boots, slid on the compression shorts, and groomed their finely-trimmed war beards for a battle against…
Dear constant reader of the most popular D2 AMSA blog in the city of Austin, after a week’s absence in the fine fine state of Mississippi, I am back to report on what was a valiant second half comeback yesterday against old nemesis Struggle FC. Although everyone could reach out an touch the win that…
Thanks to Luke for this Game Report! WIth our captain, or should I say “The Chaptain”, being out for a few weeks due to a mecca to Mississippi and Mexico, I have been honored with the task of keeping this well-oiled blog flowing with the sweat, blood and ink of our team. The proverbial torch…
In an 8 goal thrilla, Cameron Road came out on top and got the first win of the summer season. It really wasn’t as close as the scoreline showed, but it was pretty exciting stuff. First off, lets hear a round of applause for the return of Ciro to the pitch! 7 long months after…
I don’t know about you guys, but my back is flaming red. Who’s idea was it to go shirtless yesterday anyway? So yeah, the summer campaign didn’t exactly get started the way we envisioned it, even though we outnumbered Elite FC in sideline tents 3-1. We lost the game by one goal, 1-2.

One a day where summer seemed to be on hold and the cool weather was a welcome surprise, Cameron Road bounced back from last week’s embarassing defeat to win our last game of the season against Shiner FC 3-1. We controlled the game for the first 20 minutes or so, partly because Shiner started off…
To quote The Stranger in the Big Lebowski, “sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you…” Looks like we got eaten by the bear yesterday. The first half was a total disaster. We went down 0-4 and were not looking very good. We couldn’t string any passes together, couldn’t create many chances, couldn’t…
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The Good: Our points steak continued for the 5th straight game. The Bad: Marcus went down with a possible ACL injury early in the first half. The Ugly: We let Struggle back into the game with minutes to go. It sure seemed like we were already deep into…
Cameron Road exploded for 8 goals against a severely out-aged group of teenagers from the mean streets of San Marcos yesterday afternoon. To be fair, I’m not sure why Gary Job Corps got thrown into the deep end of D2 when they should be playing at recess, but what’cha gonna do. It’s fair to say…
So who will score 4 against Gary Job Corps this weekend with the sweet sounds of “Somebody’s Watching Me” in the backround? It could be you! httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUikdnvxMUg

If it’s not freezing out on the high plaines of NEMP, then you’ve got to deal with the 40 mph winds swirling around overhead. That was the case yesterday when Cameron Road once again rose to the occasion and scored a legitimate victory against the Strikers. We may lack the scoring touch of Celtic and…
On a chilly Sunday morning, on the frozen tundra of NEMP, under the black cloud of a possible rainout, 10 man Cameron Road vaulted two spots in the D2 table with a convincing win verses old rivals Shiner FC.
Our streak of not losing continued this weekend on the high plains of Pflugerville with a convincing draw against Deportivo Fuerza Unida. Do you even remember the team that got thrashed by Celtic 0-5 a few months ago? Who were those guys?
So where were you when Cameron Road won it’s first game of 2009? If you were one of the lucky 8 players who showed up yesterday, you were at Onion Creek field playing in a rag-tag lineup celebrating a victory and a shut out. Many thanks to Bob, David, Vestre, Peterson, Jay, Willis, Andy, Marcus…
If anyone else was writing this game report it might be a little more upbeat from the start… It’s just that I don’t know whether to be happy about scoring our first goal of the season, or upset for missing a few other chances to win it at the end? Well, enough of my mental…
After giving up a pretty soft penalty kick to Celtic early on, we managed to hold Celtic to 1 scrappy goal for the entire game. We held strong and managed to hold onto the 0-2 scoreline from the end of the first half. Who knows, if the post hadn’t saved my header from a pinpoint…
Submitted by your Keeper. Good evening Gents, We have had a tough couple of last games, last Sunday we lost 3-0 and where dominated in all aspects of play. In order to improve we will have to get more fit, play smarter and most importantly have fun. This weekend we are playing Celtic and in my…
Drag. We lost. Again. We better pull it together, we’ve got a rematch with Celtic this Sunday. Match report to follow.
…Including the celebration, minus the chest hair. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quI_LkMj4HI
The Spring schedule has finally been posted. We kick it off this Sunday with a late kickoff against Stoney Point FC. [TABLE=6]
The Celtic Cowboys knocked Cameron Road out of the Aztec Cup Sunday with a 4-0 victory. I’m still pissed. The regular season can’t come soon enough.

For those of you wondering when we kick this party off again, here’s your answer. The next round of the AZTEX Cup competition is February 8, and our Spring Season begins February 15.
For those who missed it, we had a great run in the Second Annual Austin Fall Cup tournament this past weekend, finishing in third place and narrowly missing a place in the finals with a 0-1 defeat in the semi’s. It was a tough loss, especially since we were sizzling and playing some really good,…
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…
