10′s Photo History
The food tent was hopping as Jordan Hoy, Pam Forkey, Geoff Millerd, Michelle Millerd, Debbie Rooney, Sheila Depolo, Catherine Warter and Lynn McNamee (Tee Shirt Provider) kept the grill and the cash box working. On behalf of Old Gold I want to thank them for manning the tent while the rest of Old Gold was playing. A special thanks goes to Bailey and MacKenzie Millerd for hard selling the tee shirts. Though just 6 and 2 years old Bailey and MacKenzie did a terrific job convincing many a tournament participant to buy one of the one of a kind tee shirts.
Regular Games
The A side appeared well on their way to repeating as 10’s champions. They won their first two games easily against Berkshire and Springfield. This put Old Gold easily into the quarter finals.
The B side had a little different perspective playing a close game but losing to Worcester B’s. After which the B’s entertained Old Crimson but came up a little short. The B’s final match was a heart breaking loss against the Boston Gentlemen.
The Old Boy’s captained by Terry (I have your phone number) Crimmons played well with a core group of Terry, Mike Skiotis, John Campbell, Bill Reynolds and Guy Holappa. There was some nice play as Old Gold lost close games to Brookline High Old Boys and the Irish Wolfhounds. In the Brookline High game Ski hit a player late but used his head to take some punches that eventually got the player ejected.
Playoffs
In the quarter finals Old Gold took to the field after having a nice layoff against Worcester B’s and disposing of them quickly. The next game had Old Gold pitted against Worcester A’s it appeared to go back and forth but Worcester slowly pulled ahead the highlight of the game was the brawl at the end of the game that had a Worcester player ejected for punching Mike Rooney in the head. I
hope he didn’t hurt his hand.
Worcester was able to win the tournament easily over the Brookline High Old Boy’s.
