Fall 2009 was a decent season for The Blast. We finished 4th of 9 teams, with 3 wins, 3 losses, and two ties. Titans won the league with a very strong team. We added three great new players this season (Mark, Gunther, and John), but it seems like the competition is reloading even faster — Titans in particular had an extremely strong squad, and Lions and Edo’s outplayed us this year as well. I think we finished right where we belonged.

This season was also notable for the endless string of rainouts and other cancellations we endured. We didn’t finish until well into December, playing the Titans in cold rain at Striker Park on the field turf.
As usual, The Blast just really lack scoring. We tried all sorts of new combinations to get the right guys up front, but we just can’t get enough goals. The D was solid as always, enabling us to get 3 goals and two ties out of just 11 total goals scored. Come to think of it… We did have one forfeit in there. I wonder if they credited us with goals in that game.
All that aside, this was another fun season, and I’m looking forward to indoor at RISE starting this week.
My camera doesn’t take great action shots, so you guys with the big lenses need to break them out next year. Here are a few decent shots from this Fall:
