We were lucky today. The skies held all afternoon with plenty of sun, even though the forecast was for stormy weather. I watched the game from the perspective of the only referee in the game. Personally, the first half was the better of the two halves. Both sides moved the ball across the field and passed well. The wind was a major factor in each half. But in the first, fatigue wasn't a factor and ball movement was surprisingly good.
Halftime: Centre 1 - Alumni 0
It was neat to see so many past players out there playing today. It was clearly fun and the talent was undeniable.
How nice to have a crowd today? I was pleasantly surprised at the number of people, including students, who showed up. In addition, Shawn Lyons from the Alumni Office was in attendance for the game. Both the Alumni Office and Centre Soccer Program provided alumni with shirts and gifts for coming out.
Todd Davis forgot how to do a throw - in and blamed the field; Corbett was never happy with the official's decisions. But what is new?
In the end: Alumni 3 - Centre 1
Coach Burch grilled with plastic forks and everyone seemed to be having fun after the game. There was even a croquet course set up on the field.
