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…

With a hazy, hot film blanketing the sky, Cameron Road United took the field early Sunday morning and started their annual summer campaign off in style with a 1-0 victory over Fade to Black. Even at 8 a.m. the humidity was high, but Cameron Road used their recent good form to cut through the stifling…

So they were all dead, and the flash-sideways were supposed to be purgatory? What about the temple people that got introduced at the beginning of the season? What about the giant lizard-head statue, what about the island being under water? Oh wait, wrong season finale. The Cameron Road season ended not with a whimper, but…

Cameron Road United made their sacrifice to the tree line with a  4-3 thrilling victory against Massive Attack today, paying their respects to the looming arbor-filled backdrop and serving notice to the rest of D2 that they will not bow out of this season, let alone another division, quietly.

After receiving a red-headed-stepchild-like beating last week at the hands of Div 2 lumberjacks Verity, Cameron Road United bounced back yesterday to defeat Elite FC 1-0. The victory was in part helped by the bountiful assortment of players available on the sidelines, 6 subs compared to Elite’s none. This was especially valuable when Elite mounted…

For 65 minutes, it really didn’t seem that bad. Holding onto a slim 2-0 lead, Verity unleashed a 20 minute barrage of goals to close out the game and send Cameron Road home with a massive loss. With the majority of defenders unavailable for this week’s game, CRU sported a makeshift lineup, but still had…

Tough loss. Damn, this one just got away from CRU at the death. NEMP, where wind is born. – BT On a windy day up north, Cameron Road took on the league’s top dawg, Deportivo, in a battle of league bookends. Deportivo, riding a wave of victories and determined to stay top of the table,…

As backyard beer drinkers all across America took notice, Cameron Road United reeled off their second pint-powered 1-0 victory in a row against teams sponsored by clear liquors. Last weekend, it was the sorority house party Mike’s Hard Lemonade that felt the pub wrath; and this weekend it was Austin Athletic Club that payed the…

Cameron Road United defeated Black Star Austin in dramatic fashion on Sunday. The defense continued to shine, pitching a shutout at one end and scoring the winner at the other. There was a good vibe in the air before the game, with three subs available, and a timely appearance from Pat (who arrived by black…

In what was billed as a two-fer weekend of soccer action, Cameron Road United fell twice on consecutive days and got knocked out of the Aztex Cup competition and fell further down the Division 2 table. The news off the pitch wasn’t any better as several players earned early vacations with injuries.

Trying to bounce back from last week’s disappointing loss, Cameron Road United again fell to a second half goal and were narrowly beaten by the Strikers 1-0 on Sunday. Another frustrating day at the office saw the tying goal disallowed, and several shots clank off the woodwork.

On an exceptionally windy day out at Onion Creek, a seemingly friendly game of footy turned bloody and then got ugly, as Cameron Road succumbed to two late second half goals to fall to Austin International.

Ahh to be sore again on a Monday morning after a Cameron Road victory. In case you were  running a marathon, out of town, recovering from an injury, or taking advantage of the fleeting early afternoon sunshine, here’s the lowdown on the showdown with Massive Attack.

As the Onion Creek outdoor fields lay dormant for the winter, there is a plethora of soccer being played indoors by a rag-tag group of Cameron Roaders, looking for an edge come February.

On the last weekend of soccer for 2009, Cameron Road scored a double victory. First, on Saturday we gained safe passage into the second round of the Aztec Cup competition by beating the Magdigal Dragons in a 6-3 thrilla. Then on Sunday, by shear force of our awesome pre-game display, Black Star Austin turned tail…

Once again, Cameron Road did itself proud with a nice run in the annual Austin Fall Cup, but ended up losing the semi-final match for the second year in a row. This year’s rag-tag bunch won the first game 1-0, tied the second game 1-1, and won the third game 2-0 to finish top of…

It seems that even Mother Nature has conspired to keep Cameron Road United winless this season. A monsoon-like rainstorm quickly ended this week’s installment of “the most frustrating season ever” five minutes into the second half of what was looking like a promising performance.

As the longest season in Cameron Road United history marches on, CRU again went down in flames for its fifth straight loss on the fall season. It seems as though the other teams in the division are passing around the secret formula for success against Cameron Road: score a few early goals and hang on…
