Today, Todd Weber made the trip down from Mechanicsburg, PA for the first set of matches of the Sons of Ben Subbuteo Club for 2011. A total of seven matches were played today, all of which were very close with the outstanding goalkeeping of Todd. I don’t think I could have gotten a BB past him today if my life depended on it. The results are listed below with an interesting twist in Matches #4 and #5.
For those matches, we played them in a “Home and Home” format. To create a ‘home field advantage’ without driving to and from Mechanicsburg, a penalty was awarded to the “Home” team before the match starts. If successful, the home team starts one goal up; if not, the score starts at zeros. The home field advantage can be overcome by the away side wiping out the deficit with their first goal and the score reverts back to 0-0 etc. After the first game, we took a lunch break at Applebee’s where we had burgers and drooled over the barmaid (more on this at a later date). With our bellies full, we played the second leg and I was able to win the series on a 2-0 aggregate.
Very fittingly, the last match came down to a shootout after an extra time 0-0 draw. I was able to win the shootout 3-2. It was my first shootout win since the seventh grade (my apologizes to Michael Tillman). I had a great time playing Todd today and we hope to make this a monthly event. We will keep everyone posted.
