Week 9 Youth Pull

This week’s youth pull, Joseph Ruff, is nothing exceptional, but should at least bring in a few thousand dollars to the club’s coffers. He should make a decent trainee as a defensive midfielder or offensive defender. Our youth squad hasn’t been producing lately like it was earlier in the season, but I guess what comes around, goes around.

We’ve only been treading water financially as of late, which has been primarily due to poor turnout at our recent home games. We’ve had rain at our last two home matches, but are hoping for a better turnout on Sunday against the SoccerWussies.

The loss last week on the road to Neon Genesis Evangelion didn’t help our situation any. Hopefully we will turn things around this week.

Up Next: We play host to the SoccerWussies, hoping to avenge our 2-1 loss back in week five. Stay tuned!
