Spring Shamrock Short Sided Soccer at Seattle Center Saturdays

They were playing Shamrock Short-Sided Soccer for the first time this past Saturday... but it didn't take long for the RIPEL Rebels to figure things out and get a victory over a strong Quite Tasty squad. Adapting to the small field passing format, the Rebels moved the ball around the field and built attacks leading to 2 goals. Look for the Rebels to make some noise this season and in the playoffs.

They may have lost a tough match to Look at My Shorts - but Z and his many skills with the ball helped keep Ripel Rebels close. He had multiple goals - one of which was particularly memorable, as Z stopped the ball on a dime to lose his defender and fired a shot in the upper corner from just inside the hash line.

It was an epic 7 all tie for the Muffin Divers in their match against Indy #1, and both teams put it together on the offensive side of the ball. Kathy's goal was the most memorable of the 14, though, a LONG one touch chip shot from out near midfield off a rolling pass. Nobody on the field expected the shot - much less that it would go in easily - except Kathy, who was pleased but didn't seem TOO surprised. She smiled and trotted back for the kick-off. It was a fun match out in the weekend sun.

Look at My Shorts put together the most impressive display of soccer perhaps ever seen on the Shamrock soccer field. In the middle of it all for LaMS - as always - was Rob Howard.
