Thanks to all for another brilliant year for CPR Reds, and please give me your highlights of 2008 in this thread. We managed to bring in a few new faces (more to come in 2009), keep the laughs flowing and sneak in some wins along the way. As it’s the last official game post of the year (until we resume the season in April), I hope everyone has a great Xmas and New Year and look forward to seeing you all in 2009. (stay tuned for likely scrimmage games and other social nonsense on this blog). Cheers, Paul
Red reserves 2 – 1 Ridgewood
A strange game to say the least as both teams struggled to do anything vaguely worthy of mention in the 1st half, except when we went a goal down. 2nd half saw us come on stronger, score the equaliser and then go on and win the game easily. Many players could have had a hat-ful and Han had the game of his life on the left wing. A good end to the year sees the reserve team finish 7 points clear at the top of the league (see below).
Goals – Sewards, Ilija
MOTM – Han
Reds 2 – 1 Ridgewood
Not sure of where to start this report….. as it was a strange game indeed. Highlights included another brace from the goal machine Zach Kelly (7 in 4 games), a referee blessed with a good sense of time (for us) as the 1st half lasted 36 mins, 2nd half 32 mins, 3 missed chances inside the 6 yard box, more whining women in football history and a win that sees us tidely looking at mid-table obscurity (see below).
Goals – Zach Kelly
MOTM – Zach & The Ref
Last game of the season and great chance for us to consolidate and climb the table as Ridgewood should be winable games for us, if we can get a good team out and take our chances. Please confirm availability

It’s finally here, the party of the year, the Reds Xmas Bash. Festivities will begin at Central Bar @ 7pm for a few drinks then off in the party bus for a few stops around NYC. Be prepared to bring your ID, some drinks for the bus and good excuses for the morning. Mid-season awards and details on the funds will be coming soon, as we need help for bus costs, entrance fees, etc. Please confirm attendance as the more we have the less the cost of the bus!
Red Reserves 2 – 0 Ukranians
A solid win for the reds reserves to see us now go 4 points clear atop of the league. Solid performances all round on the coldest day of the season yet that saw all sorts of player getups to avoid the cold. Keogh, Gary Mac, Greg and Jason deserve mentions for their efforts and Tim and Phil both scored sweet goals (Jason where’s the vid?).
Goals – Tim, Phil
MOTM – Keogh
Honorable mentions – Gary Mac, Greg, Jason
