Tournament: 11.09.08

Sunday’s continuation of the fall 2008 postseason began without a deliberate haste. After a full season of afternoon games, this early morning game (9:15am EST) took some adjusting to. Plus, there was a heavy burden that today was Rob’s last brown game(s) before heading westward. Even the usual Anacostia Park wind was too emotional to make an appearance.

Beyond savage, Bucci played in a Keen-Cleat-combo bcs her left cleat was no where to be found (like niCH). MJ, in one-of-the-same-kind cleats, played with sushi-tight wraps on both ankles to honor Rob.

The still-in-play crew put up a fight in the first half with an embattled zone D which was diced, sliced and criss-crossed like a carved pumpkin. Fortunately, brown’s repetitive scoring kept the game buoyant all the way to 7-8.

After halftime, Sludge switched their brawn to a more defensive person D, however the favorable matchups kept going the way of absinTHEM. Where their D didn’t allow much daylight, Sludge’s standard offense didn’t hold water except for the multiple Matthew-huck-to-Nigel-long connections.

Sludge played hard but not hardly well enough to keep playing the rest of the day. The time cap struck with Sludge down & out 10-14.
