Vesuvio 3 – Patriot 1

From Kevin Vogt.
Congratulations to Vesuvio on their win yesterday. It was well deserved. Also congrats to my team, the Pats, for their late season run to the championship.

I’d like to thank Walter, Frank and the boys (and girls) who organized another BVFC successful season.

Yesterday’s championship game was what soccer and the community is all about. I don’t know what the official attendance was, but there were a lot of folks there, bringing their own chairs and making a good time of it. However, for some reason or another, those who run the field don’t want this. They keep on jerking us around with playing times, and refuse to let us use the field when, a majority of the time, its not being used. I’ve driven and walked by Palumbo at all hours on a Sunday, and unless there is a BVFC game being played, the field is empty, except for that elderly man who boxes. And then we have to beg and plead for 2 games to be played. Like they are doing us a favor.

It really is a great way for people to meet and play a game they love. We had guys on our team who just moved into the area and through BVFC found a way to continue to play soccer and at the same time meet some people, make friends… You get to meet people from all walks of life, from all around the world.

Lets keep this thing going and make it even better. Lets get some petitions signed if we have to. Lets make some calls if we have to. And lets not take no for an answer.

I couldn’t complain about yesterdays game, the play was good as well as the refereeing. So I had to rant about something on this Monday morning.
