Dean Park Rangers kicked off the new season today, and if the match was a celebrity couple, the first half was Beyonce (attractive, flowing, with juicy thighs--wait, what are we talking about?) and the second half was Jay-Z (just plain ugly). DPR built a 5-1 halftime lead on some solid defending, consistent offensive pressure, and decent finishing.Then Val and Charlie arrived, using the ol' "I-though-the-game-was-8:30" excuse, and things went awry. I am not saying the two are related. Just pointing out the chronology.
Anyway, the marking became loose, forcing Dave to make lots of saves and earning him the Man of the Match. Our counters were marred by some bad passes (mostly mine) and missed shots that would have blown the game wide open had we converted even one single, cotton-picking chance. Oh well.
Jeff and Val debuted with solid efforts. Former DP Ranger Nick was back and showed us that he still has some of the old magic. Carlos looked strong in his first game back from assorted injuries since the Johnson Administration. Dan as usual was everywhere. Charlie pulled a Greg Kite (I think literally) getting 5 fouls and 0 points in an 8 minute stretch. Champ, I am kidding, you probably only had 3 fouls, and they were all bad calls.
Anyway, a win is a win. We will play better from here on out.
Final score:
DPR 5 - 4 Berklee
Team record: 1-0-0
