2019 Fall Pub League - Week 3
Oct. 8, 2019 • Andrew Maron
Despite some lingering soreness from the 7th Annual Holy City Cup, we had a great turnout this week and we were able to play 10 v 10 with subs. The game turned into a high scoring affair. Wilson&Johnson were relentless with their scoring as they were able to point at will and from almost anywhere on the field. The halftime score was 28-9.

The 2019 Fall Pub League started in September. This year's sponsors are Daps Imbibe, captained by Chris Stratton, and Johnson & Wilson Real Estate, captained by Tiff Nichols. First two games went to Johnson & Wilson in hard fought battles. But Daps picked up points by having more players show up (1 point for every game to the team that has the most) and having a new recruit (1point for every new recruit that a member of that team gets). We welcomed Alison MacLeod as our club's female participation continues to grow exponentially. She did a great job for her first week holding a hurl!

With everyone, including the field, fully recovered from the previous week’s mud wrestling match, we were ready to hit the field for another round of Pub League games. But first, to start off the week, we held another one of our New Player Clinics.

We then moved into the first of our two matches for the week.

Despite the threat of inclement weather, our second game of Spring Pub League went ahead according to schedule. The field conditions could have been better, but we determined that a bit of rain and mud is no bother. There was also no sense in wasting the good turnout from both teams, though several were absent or still sore from the previous day’s Cooper River Bridge Run. As luck would have it, as soon as we put our helmets on to start the game, the rain began and was unrelenting throughout the first half.

After spending the past month celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, and having a few new recruits to show for the effort, we finally began our Spring Pub League for 2019! In order to keep things simple, we have split into two teams, with each sporting one of the two colors from our new, reversible pinnies supplied by our sponsor, the Recovery Room Tavern. Team Gold is captained by one of our talented goalies, Ryan Finn. Team Blue is captained by Rob Coyle, who also captained the Fall 2018 Pub League Champions, Team Tommy Condon’s. While the turnout was strong from both teams, the Team Blue had several more veterans than Team Gold.
