As the tree-line purred a seducing song like the Greek sirens yore, 11 brave and bloodthirsty Honey Badgers took the pitch Sunday morning, 10 AM sunshine. Jay stood between the pipes as Billy, Adam, Steve and Luke made up the back line. Way, Ciro, Daniel and Scott were mixing it up in the middle and…
The Soccer Gods are smiling on Cameron Road United this summer as their win streak hits a monumental 6 games in a grind-it-out, hard-fought victory against Internacional Austin F.C. – a.k.a. The Mary Kay Allstars.
Last week, at an undisclosed top secret location, those who showed up for practice were treated to a carpet of lush, green, thick grass. It sure beat the hell of the Clark Field moonscape (which is currently under renovations of astroturf-like proportions). Alas, this was probably a one-time deal as other activities are scheduled to…
Cameron Road United pushed their win streak to 5 games with a 5-3 win over the Champion Toyota Jaguars. An uncustomary early start for Cameron Road had everyone setting their alarms early for this 8am affair. And right from the start, CRU flexed their muscle with Ryan Willis scoring within minutes of the kickoff. With…
As Team USA faltered against the Japanese in a World Cup penalty kick shootout, America’s new favorite, the fighting Honey Badgers of Cameron Road United, pushed their summer record to 4-1 with a victory over the Cosmos.
The Cameron Road United summer reign of terror continued with an impressive 5-0 win against Austin Athletic Club today. Just before a freakish summer rain storm hit the Onion Creek fields, a storm of goals washed up on field #5. Thats an impressive 11 goals to none in the last three games for the boys…
Cameron Road United posted their second straight shutout en route to their second straight 3-0 win on Sunday when they beat up on The Most Interesting Team in the World. Another strong turnout of 17 strong saw CRU through another 2:00pm scorcher, with special guest stars Danny, Dermot and McKenna making their Summer Season debuts.
Everything is just a little better with a win, isn’t it? The post-game beer is colder, the hundred degree heat isn’t quite so stifling, the Monday morning aches and pains aren’t quite so bad. That’s how the Cameron Road United crew is feeling today after a dominant victory over INDIOS on Sunday. CRU finally showed…
First up for Cameron Road United on the “Summer Heat Wave” Tour of 2011 was Deportivo San Marcos. A decent team that CRU had never faced before. They had a few solid forward players, and as is customary, were adept at passing the ball around. Unlike the final few games of the regular season, Cameron…
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r7wHMg5Yjg He runs backwards, he eats cobra, he’s fearless, basically, he doesn’t give a shit.
All things considered, a short handed Cameron Road United closed out the most forgettable of seasons with a gritty 10 man performance, featuring a player that had never even seen the pitch for them. Thanks to Andy’s friend, and newest teammate Adam, for strapping on the yellow jersey and giving it 90 minutes. Adam will…
Win the ball. Pass it. Run into space. Repeat.
In a game of two distinct halves, Cameron Road United fell to the Celtic Cowboys by a final score of 6-1. With 11 players to shuffle around, half of which were suffering from the previous night’s tribute to Luke’s upcoming wedding, the bloodshot-eyed boys in yellow took the field against a Celtic Cowboy team that…
Much like the fabled battle at Thermopylae, a few Cameron Roaders stood against many. 10 brave souls faced 19. And just like the Spartans, the men of Cameron Road fought the good fight, and were playing toe-to-toe with the Persians, er, Strikers for 45 minutes when the score was just a one goal difference. But…
At press time, your constant reporter was having a hard time writing about yet another nail biter of a game which saw Cameron Road fall to Elite FC on a last minute goal, but after careful reflection there were many tough and gritty performances that needed to be showcased. Cameron Road’s first blow came before…
Cameron Road fell to D2 newcomers ATX United 6-1 on an overcast final day of SXSW in Austin. A particularly black cloud covered the field for a 20 minute spell in the 2nd half while Cameron Road was still only down by a single goal and looking like the team more likely to put one…
Cameron Road United fell to Black Star Austin 3-1 on the high plains of NEMP today despite a gutsy performance from the twelve players who were in town and up for the early morning match. Battling the switch to daylight saving time and a reorganized lineup, Cameron Road United started the morning off with Jay…
Cameron Road drew 1-1 with Valladolid this afternoon to earn their first points of the Spring Season. It wasn’t pretty, and the officiating crew didn’t help matter out, but it was a well-deserved point for CRU, and hopefully will springboard them into a run of good form.
Different week, same story for Cameron Road United as they continue to fight the good fight at Onion Creek, but wound up just short again. A really solid first half performance saw the CRU defense hold Massive Attack at bay, while at the other end Cameron Road’s attackers had a few cracks at goal. Luke…
Cameron Road United fell to Los Pumas 2-1 on the opening day of the Spring Season. In addition to the loss on the pitch, they lost one of their great teammates, as Bob Hutchinson played his final game for the club he grew up idolizing as a tiny coon ass. Tragic any way you slice…
This year’s installment of the Austin Fall Cup comes straight out of the Twilight Zone. Cameron Road’s results ran the gamut with a 1-1-1 record which didn’t allow them to advance to the knock out rounds, but once again there was never a dull moment to be had.
Cameron Road (or the Bad News Bears of D2), lost yesterday’s game to Valladolid 2-1 and continued their snake bitten run through the fall season. Finishing the campaign with 7 points is actually a high compared to the last couple seasons, but losing 4 out of the last 7 games by 1 goal has kept…
The high plains of NEMP were the scene for Cameron Road United’s 3rd 1-0 defeat in 6 weeks. Another early fluky goal proved to be their undoing against Elite FC during a Halloween game.
Cameron Road United was bitten by the jungle cat as they slipped up en route to a 1-0 loss. The fluid passing and calmness on the ball of the last few weeks was quickly replaced by a more sloppy style of play, although not lacking in effort. Maybe they were expecting to simply tap into…
Playing perhaps its best half of footy this season, Cameron Road United continued their good form on their way to a 1-1 draw with Austin Athletic Club – a team that usually causes them fits. In a crucial game against a top team, Cameron Road hoped to keep the momentum of the previous 3 weeks…
There’s nothing like beating the Celtic Cowboys on a Sunday morning. Doesn’t matter which version your facing, when you see those green and white stripes on the opposite side of the pitch, you wanna take’em down. And that’s just what Cameron Road did yesterday in a thrilling 3-2 victory.
It was time once again for our bi-annual death match at NEMP, the northern in-bred step cousin of Onion Creek. There was something all too familiar about NEMP, something that, once we stepped onto the field to warm up, I knew we didn’t miss: a gnarly wind with daddy issues and a surface that made…
