Month: October 2011

Jared’s team had a double header today, playing a make-up in Framingham in the morning and then travelling to Winchester in the afternoon (photos of Jared, Photos of rest of team)

Framingham went out ahead 0-2 in the 1st half but Newton answered with 2 goals in 30 seconds from Jared and Daniel (photo sequence of 1st goal) to even the score.

Starting the day dry and not too cold:

Jared scored a 2nd goal (photo sequence) in 2nd half placing the ball over the goalie and under the cross bar (see photo below) and Newton powered home to a 5-2 win.

The temperature dropped to a near freezing 36F for the windy and rainy afternoon in Winchester. Newton held Winchester to 0-0 in first half, but let up two goals in 2nd half to lose 0-2. This was about as adverse playing conditions as I’ve ever seen, but the kids gutted it out. They played much closer to Winchester than in their previous 0-4 loss in earlier match up.

Rough soccer weekend by scoreboards, but great play. The Newton Bays team lost to Natick 0-4. Here are embedded videos (~16min each) of 1st and 2nd half.

Newton City, a combined team consisting mostly of Newton’s second U14 team with several from Jared’s team finished 2nd out of 12 teams in their section at this weekend’s Natick Columbus day tournament (photos). Jared played defensive positions during the games. They lost their first game 2-3 and then followed with 4-0 and 2-0 wins to win their bracket and advance to the semifinals. They won the semifinal 6-0 over Brookline and then lost a hard fought battle against Arlington in the final 2-4.

His regular Bays Team (Newton United) is 1-4 so far this season playing in the highest tier section of the league.
