First year team (Milan) thus our first State Cup, playing Governers. So far so good. We played at Del Mar, fields were good. Parking wasn't too bad. Had some really bad pizza Saturday night at Urban Pi, which is similar to Pieology, but not as good, and more expensive.
We won all three of our games, with the best team that we played being the South Slammers FC, a tier 2 team. We had our best half of the year in the first half as everything clicked and we took a 2-0 half time lead. Coach put in his daughter, the backup keeper in place of mine to get her some playing time as she is coming back from injury and missed most of the year. Slammers scored early to pull to 2-1, so he pulled her out. Felt bad for her as she has missed the whole year (she did get some good playing time in the next two games and my daughter got to finally play the field at striker as well so everything worked out). No real challenges after that and we ended up winning 2-1. Took next two games 2-0 and 2-0, so now we get to go to Lancaster next weekend.
