Week #1 - SOMD
Touch Football Kicks Off Its 36th Season 08-09-2003
On Saturday, September 6th, the players of the SOMD touch football took to the field to start the 36th season. Once everyone finally found the field, the game started. This year, we have seen the addition of a few new faces and the return of a veteran. Yes, Mike Canuel, is returning after a 20 year absence. Take that, Mario Lemieux. The new faces include Glenn Morris (Friday hockey goaltender), Steve Deschamps (St-Paddy's King 2002), Fernando Guerero (our new friend from south of the border) and we are still waiting for the debut of two new Tartanites.
We have officially retired the following people from the All-Star Ballot. Mike McKeown, after playing one game last year he decided that golf was easier on the body. (Mike does not get any pension benefits from his one game appearance). Maurice Beaudin, who unfortunately had to go back to Calgary to unretire for a little while. Kenny Callahan, who is not allowed to play with us after hurting himself the last time he came out of retirement.
Last week's game was 7-7 after the Hammer intercepted a lateral intended for Earl and ran it back for the TD. We won't mention who gave him the ball. Next week, the league returns to its home field for the rest of the season.
Mike Canuel enjoys his first day back out of retirement as Earl cooks up the hot dogs in the post game activity. Everyone enjoys a snack following the arduous game One.
