The Over 40 GCASL Champions (video), Brewski Brothers, defeated the Brazil Masters 2-1 in a hard fought match at the Roger Sherman Soccer Complex in Gateway Wednesday night. The first half was scoreless with second half opening score coming from Brewski Brothers 1-0. Next a penalty was awarded to Brazil and scoring was tied up 1-1. Almost the entire second half went on before the season’s Golden Boot award winning goal came from Darren Angel of the Brewski Brothers.

The Brewski Bros O40 State Cup team started their campaign on high note defeating the Wellington Palm Beach team 5-0 last Sunday in Naples. The score could have been much higher, but I will not name any names here. Darren Angel scored a hat-trick, with the other goals coming from Sammy Bajraktarvic and Kelvin Thomas. A stellar defense led by Chris Olney and Mike Davies made sure the visiting team were completely shut down.
The Brewski Bros travel over to Palm Beach on April 29th for the return leg. We wish them safe travels and good luck.

Speaking of travels, our O50 team, the Strikers, split a two game series with a visiting Canadian team last week. The Canadians were actually all Italians who have been playing together for 30 years in the Toronto area. In the first game, the Strikers won 3-2 and in the second game the Canadians won 3-2, so all in all they were very even games.

The Canadians

are eager for the Strikers to travel north so they can return the hospitality they were treated to by our players.
Our O50 State Cup team will play the Galactic Pirates in Tampa on May 6th in their first game, with the return game played in Naples on May 20th. UPDATE Pirates won 3-0 in Tampa on first leg and this means the Over 50 team will need to win by 4 in next match May 20th at NCRP.
The 2011-12 O40 season is winding down with the top four teams going to the play-offs on April 25th. The top team, the Brewski Bros will play the fourth place team the Strikers and the second place team Juventus will take on Brazil who were in third place going into the last game of the season. Good luck to all the teams.

We have a O50 team coming down from Canada and I’ve set up two games with them. The first one is on Thursday April 12th at 7:30pm and the second one is tenatively set for 5pm on Saturday the 14th (depends on field availability)…both games are in Naples. These would be great tune up games for the State Cup.
Again, please let me know if you can play on these dates. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

State Cup format for 2012: All teams will play a minimum of two games a home game and an away game. In each round of play competitors will play twice – a home game for each team – to determine the winner who will move on to the next round.
Aggregate scoring will be used. All goals count one point. The first game may end in a tie. If the score is tied at the end of the second game there will be overtime and PKs if needed to determine a winner of the two-game round.
The finals weekend will have semi-finals on Saturday, June 9 and finals on Sunday, June 10. Finals weekend will be at Simmers-Young Park, CR542, Winter Haven, FL 33880. There will NOT be consolation games.
“Cape Coral Hurricanes Make First Player List Announcement!
29 players have been named thus far to 40 man squad.
Currently, we are in the process of preparing to field a team of top local talent to play in exhibition games during the spring and summer of 2012. Although we will play our “home” games at Cape Coral High School, we will be playing at venues all over Southwest Florida so that we can give everyone exciting exposure to the team. We will use the 2012 season to hone our team, improve skills and fitness and will prepare us as we look forward to hopefully playing in the official PDL League during the 2013 season.
Thus far, things have gone much better than anticipated with our efforts. We have encountered little resistance and a lot of excitement and cooperation along the way. Since we’ve seen efforts like this fail numerous times in the city, we’ve decided to tackle it a different way. We are starting from the ground up and asking all we come in contact with for their support, guidance and help with this effort.
We are in the final stages of preparing the organization business plan that we will be presenting to a select few investors. With our planning, negotiating efforts, prospective team sponsorships, promotional sales, ad sales and ticket sales, we are hoping (with YOUR help) to show that our city can support a professionally run team, even to a point where it is profitable in the VERY FIRST YEAR! “
