2009 CHAMPIONS!





We are Director's Cup Champions again!(Or is it we are still Champions?) Winning never gets old! What a good trip! We left G.F. at eight on Saturday morning to go on our annual trip to the coast to play and watch some football. Made our first stop at the A&W in Osoyoos for some Bacon N' Eggers (and Sirloin Burgers) and then back on the road. While on the road, Dan (Btln 3739 General Manager) was trying to make a late addition to our lineup. After much negotiating a deal was reached and we were able to sign Joe Kraftchick and add him to our team.(In keeping with club policy terms of the deal were not disclosed.) Langley was bringing nineteen guys so we needed to bring some of our big guns. Special thanks to Dan, Charlie and Joe for helping out! We played the Cup on a field close to Science world, what a view, it is a lot of fun to play football with the Vancouver skyline in the background. The game was a lot closer than it was four years ago it ended 28-14. Dan, Charlie and Joe all had a touchdown catch to lead us to victory. Joe also had a kickoff return for a touchdown! At first we had trouble stopping the coast team, but we changed our defensive scheme and shut them down in the second half. After sipping Canada Dry from the cup we headed over to B.C. Place to watch the Lions beat up on the Argos. Next it was time to celebrate our win at Boston Pizza(I never get tired of B.P.)and then back to Abbotsford for the night. Sunday we met Joe and Ryley for lunch at Red Robin's, spent a little time at the mall and then headed for home.
