Thresher Woes

Beer Engines and Half Time Rec would play to a 0-0 draw at the home field last evening. This game was really all Beer Engines, as they controlled the play for large periods of time during both halves, leading many sideline wags (no, not WAGs) to claim that Thresher was an uneven playing field for visiting teams. However, it was the Engines who could not capitalize, C. Zewiske, a former stalwart on the golden boot tables, missed two sitters and the other members of the strikeforce also failed to capitalize, though there were many excellent individual contributions, including the play of Jori Schwach through the midfield, and Tim Riley, Joe Miller and Geno Genosky on the backline, controlling the defensive side of the field and leading to the constant second half pressure put on the Half Time Rec goal. The Engines can only hope that they do not rue these missed chances, as playoff seedings crystalize late in July. The fans will be looking forward to many shouts of "Put it on the Blog! Yes!" as the team returns to the home field for a game against C-Sub-60.

Road Warriors

The Beer Engines road excellence continued on May 24, 2010, with a well deserved win against the Bloomington Knights. Bob Schmidt's stinging header midway through the first half garnered the lead, one the Engines would never relinquish. A sterling back line held a strong forward duo of the Knights off the board and the Engines would tack on a late safety goal to round out the scoring.
