5/12/02 Our next game is Sunday, May 12th in Somerset at River Road Park vs. the Somerset Avengers. Game time is 1:30 PM. The directions is posted on the team Web Page. Just click on Schedule above left or go to the Patriots Group Page and see Postings. 5/4/02 Patriots join the Parsippany Soccer Club at the Meadowlands to watch the
Metrostars play the Dallas Burn. Unfortunately the Metrostars got burned by Dallas 2-1 in a game
that Mike Petke got the boot for fighting. The game was not a complete waste as the tailgate
party was fun, and the players got to high-five the Metrostar players. The play of the
game was excellent and the Metrostars showed signs that they were going to comeback and win.
However, the Burn's counter attack was superb. Great game and lots of fun. 4/28/02 Patriots play the TRSA Jets after a long, rainy drive to Toms River. The
state cup game was not as celebratory as the previous day's games in Monroe Township. The
TRSA Jets got off to a quick start taking a 2-0 lead. The Patriots came roaring back with
Buddy Councilor hitting a 25 foot shot over the wall on a direct kick; and the Pugach's,
Brandon and Brett, connected on a cross to score a goal with five seconds left in the half.
Contrary to the other teams beliefs there are two of them (not just one guy that seems to be
there each time you look up). The 1st half ends on a high note with a 2-2 tie. The 2nd Half
did not go the Patriots way. TRSA Jets win 4-2. Congratulations to the Jets and good luck
moving on in the State Cup!
The Patriots inspite of missing six key players, played the first game without
substitions beating the Bravehearts 2-0. David Gehman scored the first goal,
and Buddy Councilor sealed the game with a second goal. In the second game
Manny Rodriquez dribbled through the defense from his left fullback position.
Manny describes the event as a defenseman's dream, with 10 seconds remaining,
dribbling through the other teams offense, overpowering the midfield, surprising
the defense with a shot on goal and scoring. Only for a hand to come out from no where
and take the goal away. No not the goalie! A defensive player stuck his hand out to avoid
the score. Handball and shot on goal. Buddy took the shot, and the result was "S-C-O-R-E!!!!!
Patriots hold out to the end with a 1-0 victory. It was a excellent battle by all teams. The
Patriots defense proved worthy of high fives lead by Jason Giner showing up everywhere on
the field, with Dan, Todd, Manny, Sean and Guy playing superb "D". Yes, Sean was on "D" for
a while. Guy noted it was a directors dream everything falling into place. Dan Trappe
lived up to his name trapping all attempts and walked away with a clean sheet in both games.
Wordy, yes, two games take up a lot of space.
4/27 & 4/28/02 We have a big weekend coming up with a tournament in Monroe Township on Saturday the 27th and the 2nd Round of the NJ Snickers State Cup in Toms River on Sunday the 28th. Our Mid-New Jersey game originally scheduled for 4/28 will be played on Saturday May 4th.
4/21/02 Patriots win 2nd Game in a row. The Patriots beat the Hillside Hurricanes 5-3. The Hurricanes played a hard game but could not overcome the Patriots lead of 2-0 in the first 4 minutes of the game,which came off of quick scores from Buddy Councilor and Nima Rahimi. Nima scored four of the Patriots five goals. A tenacious defense stopped each drive started by the Hurricanes. Again in the 2nd half we heard, "Oh! There's two of them!(This time in Portugese and Spanish). They were even saying that about Cuccio, no Giner, no Todd, no Manny - "Who are those guys? - They're everywhere!"
