One foot in to a new season, the other in the finals

Indoor results
The Train Wrecks indoor team started a new season in style, racking up 10 points in a four goal victory over Bedlam. A full squad with some new but familiar faces led comfortably throughout the affair.

Robert Keller, old 'Wreck and new father, christened his return to football by claiming to be out of breath. Somehow it didn't stop him from looking like his in-form self as he contributed a goal and timely defense for some faithful fans. Monica chipped in a pair as well, filling in for Laura...and it was good to see Thomas get in on the indoor action.

Even Madelyn contributed to the Train Wrecks victory...despite donning the colors of the other team. Once a Train Wreck, always a Train Wreck. Foreva'.

Next up for the 'Wrecks is Bocas Locas June 10.

Outdoor results
The outdoor league entered the playoff season with the top four teams all in action and a chance to lay claim the championship. The semi-finals contest between the second-seeded Train Wrecks and the third-seeded Booty Booty, would determine who Inter would play in the finals next Sunday. Inter won the first semi-final match played on Friday.

The second semifinal had the pinnings for a dramatic tie. The 'Wrecks and double Booty were equal on points in the regulars season with the 'Wrecks owning the head-to-head series. But that slight advantage had little importance. With an appearance in the finals on the line for the opponent and team leaders Thomas and Laura not available the Train Wrecks had their work cut out for them.



And work it was. After the end of the first period, the scoreline reflected poor finishing on both ends as the ball failed to find the back of the net. In the end it would be something Booty Booty would rue as they had the wind to their backs and the majority of the opportunities in the opening half.

Perhaps learning from the missed chances of their opponent, the Train Wrecks capitalized with the wind and persistence. It paid off when Brad laced a shot into the upper corner of the net.

Team passing and a dominated midfield made it an easier effort for the back line, and eventually the 'Wrecks would build a two-goal lead with second half substitute Diego's low finish.

By the time Booty Booty lucked into their one goal, the Train Wrecks were all but penciled in for the finals. The game finished just three minutes later with the Train Wrecks on top, 2-1.

Next up for the 'Wrecks are the finals against Inter, June 8 at 5 pm.
