2010 Alumni Game

Saturday, April 10th turned out to be a beautiful day for the Alumni Game. Turn out was very good considering the U.S. Open Cup Louisville Lightning game and Dan Greulich's wedding annoucement party at Keeneland. Congratulations to both by the way.

Over the past three years, this game has always been high scoring. In 2008, the Varsity won 4-3, in 2009, the Alumni won 4-2, and this year, the Varsity won 6-3.

Rightfully so, our Alumni have a playing standard that they expect of themselves. So I think sometimes our older Alumni want to avoid playing at all costs!  But this game is more about members of the Centre Soccer Family getting together. Moreover, it is vital that the Varsity get this extra Spring Game. After last weekend at the University of Kentucky, the Alumni Game gave us a chance to see the team in a different formation. This is invaluable to us as we begin to prepare for preseason.

Many thanks to those who made the effort to join us. The new adidas promotional t-shirts that were given out are now on sale. The adidas short sleeve t-shirt is $20, long sleeve is $25, the hooded sweatshirt is $35, and the hats are $20. The shirts are black with the adidas logo with Colonel Soccer and the Old Centre logo.
