Offseason Report: Lil’D Becomes Honorary Punter
The jersey fit like a glove.
The jersey fit like a glove.
Last game of the Fall 2024 season against good ol’Beercalona, which usually means 90 minutes of slightly above average Over 40 soccer followed by very much above average smoked meats and fixins. The Badgers were looking to cap off a solid start to the 2024/2025 campaign with another good performance. But you know, not too…
Another week, another gritty win for the Honey Badgers! With the game moved up to NEMP, the subs bench was looking a little light, especially since Chappy joined the temporary walking wounded. But enough Badgers showed up to have one sub, as Jefe was back to getting some more significant minutes on the pitch after…
For two years, the most anticipated and highly watched rivalry in all of sports has laid dormant, like Smaug sitting on top of his vast pile of gold underneath the Lonely Mountain. Having spent a soul-crushing two years in Over 40 Premier, The Punters were reunited with The Badgers in Over 40A with a trophy…
Four days until Halloween and it was about 95 degrees at Onion Creek on Sunday for this top end of the table matchup between Cameron Road United and ATX United. Must be the 5G networks heating up the atmosphere. With the Honey Badgers off to a hot start, and ATX scoring goals for fun, it…
Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but it was way way way too hot for October – and the Honey Badgers were without The Tent for yesterday’s return to action against Celtic Cowboys. The Honey Badgers needed to get back on track after last week’s hiccup with Libertad, who coincidently beat The Punters prior…
Like a Punter at a post-game, the Texas heat just refuses to leave. Another almost-October scorcher yesterday at the Honey Badgers drew the short straw with an afternoon game time. It was to be a matchup between the two titans at the top of the table as CRU Squared off with Libertad, recently promoted from…
Game three of this young Over 40A season. Could the Honey Badgers make it three in a row and continue their great start? Could they survive a second week in a row without their spirit world guide, Jefe? Would Ciro get his calendar year goal? All would be answered as Cameron Road suited up for…
On one of the top-5 all time hottest, most humid game days, Cameron Road United roared back from a shaky start to welcome Travis FC back to the league with a resounding 4-2 thumping. Last week good old Texas fooled us into thinking Fall was officially here…. not so fast my friends! It was hot,…
Opening Day 2024! After a hot, successful summer sesh with the boys, it was time to get down to business as the 2024/2025 season kicked off for real yesterday on the high plains of NEMP. Yes it was windy, but damn, there was green grass, cool temps, and a nice set of trees to chill…
The final game of this stellar summer season ended with a bang as the Honey Badgers destroyed Austin Power Outage by 8 goals, and it could have been much more! This has been the best summer season in recent memory with a great crew, a great vibe, and great performances by those young and old….
Well, well, well gentlemen, that was one summer scorcher for the books. The Badgers faced up against the Mean Eyed Kitty Cats at noon for a brain melter. Badger Town was looking robust with a couple tents (canopies Conor) and with a few late arrivals fielded a 15 man squad…pretty impressive for summer attendance. Mean…
With a sprinkle in the morning to jack up the humidy to Vietnam-like levels at Onion Creek Field, the Honey Badgers gathered under the shade of the tent to do battle with top dawgs Austin Athletic Club. The “Tiny Trident” arrived early, having traveled together inside the glove box of their Uber. When the dust…
The Spirit of the Honey Badger was captured in this Carolyn original amalgamation drawing.
While Chappy was at home with a spicy case of the Covids, Cameron Road narrowly escaped “Rostergate” as Adam’s Arms delivered that names of those who would bestow an epic beatdown of Chopped Liverpool in lieu of oranges. Relying on Jefe’s memory, FBI interviews, drone footage, and notes written down on Ciro’s soaked back, we…
Another week, another win for Cameron Road United in this successful 2024 Summer Campaign. This week Cameron Road took on cross town rivals CC United, always a tough opponent. With 6 subs, Badgertown was, once again, filled to the brim with quality soccering talent to throw at the short handed CC United, who had to…
While England prepared to do battle with Spain for the Euro Championship, and Argentina prepared to do the same against Columbia in the Copa América Finals, the Honey Badgers were first up to take on their old Over 40A rivals Travis FC yesterday morning. Travis FC showed up with a bevy of teenagers, but ironically…
No media coverage for this one, but word on the street was that Mark was a boss for taking a beating and keeping his cool, and Conor was en Fuego with two majestic saves at one end of the pitch and the only goal at the other end. Man-of-the-Match: Conor!
After losing a tough opening summer match, the Honey Badgers bounced back in a big way as they shut down the grid on Austin Power Outage on their way to a commanding 6-1 win. It was a steamy, hot and sunny June morning, and dew covered the pitch like a bandana over Pete’s bald dome….
The Summer Season is back! While most folks cower from the annual heat dome in their air conditioned dwellings, those brave enough to don the yellow jersey suffer for the badge at Onion Creek during the sweltering summer Texas months. This year is no exception as Cameron Road welcomed back a bunch of friends and…
To celebrate AMSA’s 50th year, Cameron Road United nominated three All Stars to participate in the first ever round of All Star games. Ciro, Derek and Jeff Z were called up to represent the Honey Badgers in an Over 40A vs Over 50P shootout, while Jefe was the league Post Game All Star from the…
Another season comes to an end as this wacky duo find new ways of getting into trouble.
Capping off a stellar season leading the back line, Jeff Z was the big winner of the 2023/2024 CRU Player of the Year! Congrats big fella, you deserve it…. hope this makes up for that first season of yours in Over 30 Premier.
Cameron Road came out guns blazing and won their final match of this up-and-down 2023/2024 season against Bat City on Sunday. Luckily, the Soccer Gods changed the start time to 8am instead of 2pm since the heat is officially here after two months of monsoons. But the Badgers came out strong with an eventual five…
Adding to his growing trophy cabinet, Derek nabbed yet another Golden Boot as he lead the line with 11 goals this season! Well done.
The dreaded 2-1 loss stakes again! What is it with the Honey Badgers and a 2-1 scoreline? This is the 6th out of 8 games played this season already. Unfortunately, Cameron Road was on the wrong end of it yesterday as they fell to Mean-Eyed-Cat in the dying light of the sun. Everyone was stoked…
