Holwierde-VV Grijpskerk 3-3

Disappointing draw actually. The VV came back from behind three times but then failed to convert a PK into a win in the last minute of the game. The second draw in a row drops the red shirts from 6th to 8th position overall but relegation looks almost out of the question. And that would be a victory in itself.

Indoor season over....U16 forfeits

It was tournament time, or was it. Due to the inability to produce a team (less then 6 players were available), the FC GroningenU16 had to forfeit the eand of season tournament. Overall, the indoor season was a good experience with some good results, especially in the first session. Hopefully with the U19 & U16 teams playing indoor, we will be able to field a more competetive and skillful team this Fall. Thanks to Coach Seitz for all his support (financial/motivational) and all his time. Thanks for his creativity as well (the green shirts and all that is on the shirts were his idea). Thinking back, he did spend a lot of time organizing the team, making sure he had enough players at each game, picking up some of them when a ride was not available. And don't forget, he coached both U16 & U19 this season, so: THANKS AGAIN COACH SEITZ!

NAC Breda -FC Groningen 0-1

I guess they wouldn't start winning until I left the country. Granquist goal determines outcome of a game that gives the FC three badly needed points.

Joga Bonita - FC GroningenU16 (NW) 5-2

Best game and effort of the session against a good team with plenty of subs. And that was the only thing lacking on our side....subs. It was still 2-2 with 3 plus minutes on the clock but the third goal for Joga took the wind out of our sails as the energy level dropped due to missing benchwarmers. Up next saturday 3/5/11 at 10 pm, #4 Montoya. Tim and Kyle had fantastic games (their best efforts ever indoor), Taylor added two goals, Clay added very solid and disciplined defense.

Feyenoord - FC Groningen 5-1

Handball, 2 pk's but still embarrassing.......
