The first really rainy game of the season finds the Racer X team at one of my favorite fields, Bobby Morris. Right from the start Racer X finds them selves in control of the game but they aren't able to open up their account until minute 35. A pass from Zack finds Chris in the box. He's able to control and side-net a left footer. The Rams answer back with a fast break that just sneaks under Mark. Adam almost saves it but 5th gear just doesn't kick in. The half ends 1-1.
Racer X takes the lead for good on a pass from Zack that Chris bangs in off the defenders foot. The looping shot sails over the keeper and into the corner. Racer x is able to put one more goal away but I can't remember who scored it.
Men of the match go to Randy and Lance for outstanding midfield play and controlling the game. Great job guys!!

Game 5 Racer X 3 FC Globo 3
First let's start off with an R.I.P. for Steve Peck who as officially retired from Racer X. You were a great defender for the Racer X team when you weren't getting yellow carded or throwing balls at people's heads.
As for the game, it was another cold one for the Racer X crew. Globo gets a fast break that's stopped by Steve but earns him a yellow card. After some confusion, Racer X ends up a man down and Globo exploits the advantage with a few passes an puts away an early goal. At this point a Racer X player is shown a second yellow and game is almost called due to lack of sportsmanship but with all the confusion surrounding the departure of said player no one notices that Racer X still has 11 players on the field. Racer x has a few chances, one off the post but the half ends 1-0 Globo.
Racer X pull even early in the 2nd half on a pass from Carlos to Chris at the edge of the box. The left footed shot is hit low and hard past an out of position keeper. Racer then takes the lead. After David's shot is parried away by the keeper Tico is there for the follow chipping it over a diving keeper. Globo counters with 2 more goals to regain the lead but with a final surge Randy is able to knock in a far post cross off his twig and berries.
Man of the Match honors goes to Tico for his Key goal.
