Boston Villa

The spring soccer season kicked off this morning, and for the first time in many years, I am playing for a new club. I have graduated from the over-56 age group to the over-62 league. Since I am one of the oldest players on my Concord United team, I am generally the first to move up an age bracket. In 2 or 3 years, the rest of my former teammates will move up and I will rejoin them. Until then, I will be playing for Boston Villa. We started our season on a positive note with a 4-0 win including a goal I scored from the wing midfield position. I made a far-post run and received a perfect pass about 25 yards from the goal. I really concentrated on my first touch which set me up nicely as I dribbled in on the keeper. When I reached the top of the box he started to cut off my angle to the right and I calmly slotted the ball past him into the lower left-hand corner. It never hurts to score a goal on your first outing with a new team.
