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…
How does 2 + 15 + 7 + 20 + 2 + k + 16 + 16 = 8? Strange math you might think, but those were the players responsible for the 8 goal onslaught on Sunday as Cameron Road United broke-in their new yellow and blue uniforms, while breaking the backs of the MQ9-Reapers….
With Captain Chapoton lounging, drink in hand, on the oil-free beaches of Mexico, Cameron Road United (CRU) took the field in what could be the last game in red and white strips. Our glorious tree line silently sweated in anticipation, as the increasingly whiny foe, Struggle FC (SFC), grew to nearly 20 strong on the…
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…
We may have not played the most entertaining soccer this weekend as our low scores indicate, but if there was a trophy for the most entertaining team on the sidelines, you can damn sure believe we would have one it hands down. Fueled by positive displays on the field, lots of beer, propane-charred sausages and…
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…
Hoping to start climbing back up the table, Cameron Road fought a hard battle early Sunday morning against a difficult Black Star ATX team but managed to come up just short at the end of the day. The final score read Cameron Road United 3, Black Star ATX 4, and as the score suggested, this…
On a balmy fall day where you could reach out and touch the tree line, Cameron Road United again found itself trying to desperately claw it’s way back from an early deficit to rescue a point – but like OU QB Sam Bradford’s mercurial throwing shoulder, we again fell on hard times.
For the second week IN A ROW, we got rained out. See you at practice on Wednesday, and at the Crown & Anchor to discuss our offering to the Soccer Rainout Gods.
Cameron Road United faced a friendly rival this past Sunday in the form of Scotty and his orange-crushed Struggle FC. A friendly but drunken wager had been made in the summer between the two teams that the loser of this game would bring a keg for the Spring match-up/post-game grilling “sesh.”
There is nothing like the smell of Onion Creek at 8 AM in the morning: Dew-kissed grass, freshly trimmed corner flags, Willis’ bucket, and the arousing scent of a tree line lingering on the edge of your every thought. This isn’t just another Sunday at the fields; this is where the Fall 2009 campaign for…
Last game of the summer season and we responded with a nice late comeback win with loads of post-game beer options. This game had it all, early goals, late goals, comebacks, fights, you name it. Since Moneyland didn’t show up last week for their game, we were a little worried that they would do the…
