First
Team Season Recap
The Chicago Kickers First Team finished their fall season with
14 points from 4 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. From 23 goals for and 13
against, the First Team is currently in 2nd place in the First
Division of the Metropolitan Soccer League (although several other
rain-out games still need to be played). Outstanding players include
goalkeeper Chris Robbins and midfielders Andy Bamett and Dave Hanlon.
After winter break, the spring season is played and the winner is
promoted to the Major Division. The Kickers play home games at the
A.A.S. in Lake Villa, and most games kickoff Sundays at 3pm.
U9
Chicago Kickers Girls Team
The U9 girls' team started their play in Barrington at the FC
Barrington Classic Labor Day Weekend tourney. This first year team,
comprised of six 8 yr olds and two 7 seven year olds, had a tough go
in their first ever half, falling behind 4-0. Then they remembered
they were Kickers and came back to beat their Libertyville opponent by
scoring 5 second half goals and won their first game ever 5-4. They
went 2-1-1 for the tourney and were off to a good start. With only 2
girls possessing travel soccer experience, the team is continually
developing and learning and has won 2 league games already this fall
and have been shutout only once in 6 games. They play their home games
on Sundays at 1100 am.

Our team is made up of fourteen girls, ages 11-12 playing in

Championship at the Racine Lighthouse Classic tournament with a 4-0
record. Our home games are played at the club house on Sunday at
11:00.

Annual Hunting Trip
By
Adam Sollmann
As in the last 45 years the Hunters are again getting ready for
their annual Hunting Trip to Wyoming. The preparations include a
meeting, shopping for supplies and of course packing. This year there
were only 4 out of the regular 7 Hunters. Health issues were the
problem. We left early on October 13th. The weather was very good and
we arrived save at our destination. We had to leave our van in town
and drive up with 4-wheel trucks since it snowed the day before, but
the snow melted and turned the ground into mud.
On opening day we shot an elk and a deer. The second day Lady Luck
went with us, and in the morning we shot another elk and a deer, and
in the afternoon we shot a third elk, thanks to Lady Luck. After that
we had two deer licenses left which we filled on the third day of
hunting. We packed up and proceeded down the mountain, which was a
good thing since it snowed all day and we would have been snowed in.
All the meat has to be brought down the mountain to a processing plant
in Worland, Wyoming. Again we brought enough meat home for our Annual
Venison Dinner which will be on March 6th, 2010. We hope to see you
all there.
