Week 7 Results

Week 7 Results:

Game #1Team A (Dom) versus Team B (Steve). This was a brilliant game filled with emotion, and the final score indicated just how close it was. Team A took the early lead on a goal from Ben Makuch. Team B responded brilliantly by added 3 straight from Steve Kowlesaar, Wiel Abunafeesa, and Marc Viscose. Things were looking down for Team A, but true to his nature Dom Rochon took the team on his shoulders, played with passion (and complete and utter anger) and rallied the troops. Eddie Sabrango was on target to cut the lead to 3-2, then Thierry Ntwari evened things up at 3. Abunafeesa scored again to give Team B the lead, but Adam Shales scored to tie the game, and Eddie Sabrango scored the winner. Team B pressed for the equalizing goal, but it never came. Great game by both sides.
RESULT Team A 5, Team B 4

Game #2

Team C (James) versus Team D (Labrom). This was also an absolute cracker of a game. Team C has yet to lose a game, and this looked as if it might be the first as Team D were brilliant on the day. Daniel Dudek opened the scoring for Team D although Dan Cheney evening things up for Team C. Roland Tiamuh gave Team D the lead 2-1. Mike Hoefler tied things up at 2 but Antony Coscarella gave Team C the 3-2 lead. Then Sylvain scored 2 in a row giving Team D the lead 4-3. James then equalized and Antony Coscarella scored with the last kick of the game to win the game for Team C. Thats 2 weeks in a row Team C have scored with the last kick of the game to win last week, and to win again this week.

Week 6 Results

Week 5 Results:

Game #1

Team B (Steve) versus Team C (James). Team B was looking to build on a good win from last week. They started well going up 2-0 on goals from Dimitri Koutras and Kelby Shaw but Sam Mcchugh got one back making it 2-1. Koutras scored again for Team B to go up 3-1 and were cruising, but what seems to come every week from Team C is a flurry of goals which were provided by Antony Coscarella and Mcchugh to even things up at 3. Wiel Abunefeesa got Team B back in front only for Roland to tie things up not soon after. This game was destined for a draw, when at the last kick of the game Steve Radoja bundled home a cross from Roland to win the game.
RESULT Team B 4, Team C 5

Game #2

Team A (Dom) versus Team D (Labrom). This was a big game as Team D were stuck on the bottom of the table, and true to form for Team A, had a whack of alternates playing with them. This game was a textbook Serie A encounter, 0-0 for the longest while. Sylvain finally got things going nipping one in to make it 1-0 Team D. Basil then evening things up on a penalty. Jeff Dennis then scored 2 goals in succession while Spice notched his second to make it 3-2 for Team D. Dan Deganutti hammered home a 4th for Team D, only to have Greg Andujar respond with a cracker of his own. Team A couldn't find the equalizer, and the game ended 4-3.

RESULT TEAM A 3, TEAM D 4

Week 5 Results

Week 5 Results:

Game #1

Team B (Steve) versus Team D (Labrom). Team B desperately needed a victory this game as they haven't had the start the were looking for. On a day where weather played a role even though the game is indoor, the driving was trecherous and a few players for both sides were not able to make it out. Despite all this, Team B, came out flying, and played very well, and finished their chances. Dimitri Koutras started the scoring, and Steve Kowlesaar added another before Koutras scored his second to make it 3-0. Wiel then added two quick goals to make it 5-0 for Team B. Recently aquired from Team B Steve Johnson pulled one back for Team D, but Koutras got his hattrick to make it 6-1 Team B. A late flurry of goals from Team D, by Greg Donnard and Jeff Dennis wasn't enough as it ended 6-3.

RESULT Team B 6, Team D 3

Game #2

Team A (Dom) versus Team C (James). Team A were in great form in recent weeks, and were looking to win another big game against league leaders Team C. This game marked the return of Roland Tiamuh, who missed last week through injury. This game was a cracker and in my opinion the match of the league to date. It was back and forth, and played with passion. Antony Coscarella opened the scoring for Team C early on, but Basil Phillips equalized. League top scorer Ryan Devereaux then put Team C ahead, but Jorge Gutierrez evening things up. Then Team C hit form, scoring 3 straight goals from Devereaux, and Coscarella with 2 which made the score 5-2 for Team C. Team A were inspired by this to go on a run of their own, scoring 3 straight to even things up once again. Dom Rochon, Greg Andujar and Thierry Ntwari scored in succession. But alas, Team C were not to be defeated yet as Ryan Devereaux scored once again, and Roberto Gutierrez killed the game off to make it 7-5.

Week 4

Results:Game #1

This was a top of the table clash with Team C (James) against Team D (Labrom). This game was a back and forth encounter, with chances being missed, crossbars, posts, and great saves. Team D had the lead for most of the game on goals by Jeff Dennis, Dan Cheney and Igor Pletchtenko. Team C equalized mid way through the second half on goals by Roberto Guttierez, James Macmillan and Antony Coscarella. Team D had a flurry of chances to win the game late on, but Morgan Kenny stood tall and made some great saves.

RESULT Team C 3, Team D 3

Game #2

Team A (Dom) versus Team B (Steve). This was a game of big importance to Team B who needed to get some points on the board. Team B took the league 2-1 in this game on goals by Paul Kihara and Steve Kowlesaar, and had numerous chances to finish the game off, but just couldn't find the back of the net. Andy Clements scored for Team A. Then Team A finished a chance when Ben Makuch scored on a diving header on a pass by Eddie Sabrango. Sanjeev then scored to give Team A the lead and Andy Clements netted his second to end the game.

Royals Profile: Marc Labrom

Marc is entering his third season with the Royals after a brief stint with the baby blue of St Anthony's feeling the colour won't bring out his eyes. Prior to that, he had a long career in his native Montreal playing for the established club West Island Lakers. Mark's Montreal flair is evident on and off the pitch. Off the pitch, his idea of a night out consists of slipping into some tight faded jeans, supper at 10pm (that's right 10pm!) followed by a trip to chic Martini Bar, and a long night of voguing while trying to attract the ladies and repel the fellas. On the pitch, he has been a great addition to the Royals. During his tenure, he's proved his versatility while playing all position across the backline and even some assignments on the wing. The self pro-claimed "destroyer" is always ready for a well-timed tackle that can bring down large and small strikers alike. A tenacious man-marker when called on, the gazelle-like strides keep attackers on a short leash. Marc has a knack for reading the play the play well and stepping up to intercept a pass at opportune times. Offensively, Marc is always looking to add to the attack with overlapping runs from the back and well played balls through the midfield... Despite being deaf in one ear, he's been known to ignore instructions and slags from all directions. But you'll surely be made a fan of Marc's game with his vision and tenacity, you'll likely even hear yourself say "Marc, I wish I could quit you." But you won't be able to...

By James MacMillan

Royals Profile: James MacMillan

This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Royal craves not these things. He is reckless..... well, er, not exactly. Living/playing fast is not really James' thing. Tanning salons should be but I digress. If one sets aside, for a moment, his avant-garde wardrobe and edgy engine-less summer ride, one cannot but concede that James stands as one of the most focussed and reliable pillars in the Royals on-field set-up. Royals bedrock if you will. Whether he is plying his trade at the back or in the middle of the park, James never really has bad games. Indeed, on the contrary, he often plays a truly commanding role on the pitch, dispatching opponents with solar plexi-shattering shoulder charges that would make Vinnie Jones squirm and reigning majestically in the air. Defensively, James is rigorous in the mark and often exhibits good judgment. Offensively, James is blessed with good feet for a mid-to-big man and his vision and distribution are virtually always on song. Deeply committed, and a versatile and good all-around athlete, he will no doubt play an important part in any Royals successes over the coming year provided his weakness for hot tubs and small boys don't get him into trouble with the law.

By Agent Labrom

Royals Profile: Steve Kowlessar

There is a famous quote from Johann Cruyff that stipulates that the game of football is simple, but it is very difficult to play simple. It follows that the best compliment I can give Steve Kowlessar as a player is that he plays simple; he plays with such simplicity in fact that when he is shielding a ball, making a pin-point pass, or scoring on one of his booming shots from 40 yards away from goal, he looks as though he is hardly breaking a sweat. Steve is a quiet player on the surface, often he will show up for training or a game and lose himself in the crowd, finding his way to a football and quietly going about warming up by himself on the side. If you're not careful you might miss the fact that he is even there at first. Hardly what you would expect from the son of a Guyanese father and a Quebec-born mother. But underneath that calm demeanor lies a man with a steely survivor instinct; once the whistle blows Steve is a fierce competitor, and should he ever find himself behind on the score sheet or feel hard done by an opposing player's rough play, his Caribbean and Gallic passion shines through in spades with flashy play, bone-crushing tackles and a flair for late-game dramatics. Steve is a player that leads by example, and believes that actions speak louder than words. His biggest asset is his ability to play high quality football on a consistent basis, but should the situation call for something out of the ordinary, Steve has that rare ability to raise his game to an even higher level. As he now enters his third year with the Ottawa Royals, you feel it's time for Steve to take over as one of the Premier players in the province and lead the blue & white back to provincial glory and another run at the elusive Men's amateur National Championship.

By Dom Rochon

Royals Profile: Dom Rochon

Dominic Rochon (born May 18, 1974 in Ottawa) is a midfielder for the Ottawa Royals Soccer Club. Rochon began his soccer career in the Ottawa-Gatineau region, developing his passion and talent for the game with his first club team Outaouais Youth Soccer Club (1987-1989: Quebec Major League). Following his career debut, he continued to develop as a player and leader with club team Nepean United Youth (1989-1991: National Soccer League). Rochon would enhance his skills and knowledge of the game by traveling to Argentina where he was recruited by U-18 football club River Plate (1991-1992). Upon his return to Ottawa, Dom applied his newly acquired South American abilities in the Ottawa-Carleton Soccer League with club teams St. Anthony's Soccer Club (1992-1993), Gloucester Soccer Club (1993-1995, 1996-1997), Maple Leaf (1995-1996), and Ottawa Royals(1997-2000), before joining the first semi-professional CPSL soccer team in the region, the Ottawa Wizards (2000-2002). As a hard-working midfielder with the ability play under pressure, and distribute the ball with accuracy, Rochon played a key component to the Ottawa Wizards' CPSL league championships in his two seasons with the club. His success continued with club teams Kanata Soccer Club (2002-2003) and Ottawa Royals (2003-2006) leading both teams to Ontario Cup Championships and the Canadian National Championship Tournament. Team mates of Rochon attest that he is the heartbeat of any team on which he plays, often taking the leadership in the locker room to inspire them at half-time. In his seventh season with the Ottawa Royals, Rochon's tremendous work-rate and dedication will be an integral part of the club's future success.

2006-11-06 Possible game in Kingston

Andriy Szwarek is trying to organize a game in Kingston on Sunday, November 12 against the Military side. If anyone is interested in playing, please contact Andriy at:
szkwarek.aw AT forces.gc.ca (using the regular email format). We'll need a minimum of 12-13 to play - and if you commit to turning up, you'd better turn up (Dave Keo, Cormac Rea).

Marc Lapointe is also trying to get a team to play his Ukranian side indoors on Sunday.

2006-11-01 Directions to the Superdome

Before anyone asks, here are the directions to the Superdome in Gloucester.

The SUPERDOME is located on Bearbrook Road in the east end of Ottawa. To access it, follow Highway 174 to Montreal Road/ St Joseph Road exit. Take St Joseph Road east about 1 km and then south on Bearbrook for approximately two km, the THUNDERDOME is on the right.
Alternatively, take Highway 417 to Innes Road Exit, head east on Innes Road about 3-4 km and turn left into Blackburn Hamlet. About 1 km into Blackburn, turn north on Bearbrook for 2-3 km and the SUPERDOME in on the left.

If this isn't clear enough, either get a taxi or visit their site at http://www.superdome.ca/

2006-11-01 More info

Couple more issues.

1) Shinpads are mandatory - no unnecessary injuries and these do help. Besides, you play outdoors with them, so you should play indoors with them.

2) Photos required for this Friday. Two photos (of yourself) headshots please.

3) Some more people struggling with injuries. Teams A & B in particular.

Week 1 alternates for:
Team B: Jason Da Costa (vacation) = Andy Nera
Team A: Kevin Sheehan (injury) = Fred Juett
Team B: Frank Zegers (Englebert Humperdinck concert) = Dan Cheney
Team D: Tyler Wallace = Antoine Lagarec (second game)
Team A: Aydin Oyali (2 weeks injury) = Sergio Miccas
Team A: Thierry Ntwari (2 weeks, injury) = Greg Andujar
Team B: Steve Johnstone =

Cheers

2006-10-31: Week 1 of indoors

Few minor admin details to take care of.

1) Team Colours:
Team A = white
Team B = blue
Team C = red
Team D - green

Week 1 -- 3 November:
8-9 Team A vs. Team B; 9-10 Team C vs. Team D
EXCEPTIONALLY, EVERY PLAYER SHOULD BE THERE AT 7.15 P.M. FOR ADMINISTRATION DETAILS.

2) Sanjeev Parma
Because Sanjeev is special, he can only make the 9 o'clock games, which means he is a 'floater'.... Sanjeev will "float" on the following teams, no doubt walking around the pitch and blaming team mates for misplaced passes, berating them for lack of mobility and eventually scoring a 6o-yard matchwinning goal, before adjusting his naval piercing and going home.

3 November - Team D*
10 November - Team B*
17 November - Team C*
24 November - Team A*
1 December - Team C*
8 December - Team D*
15 December - Team C*
22 December- Team B*
29 December - Team B*
5 January - Team A*
12 January - Team A*
19 January - Team D*
26 January - Team C*
2 February - Team A*
9 February - Team B*

3) Alternates
There are a list of alternate players who will replace absentees. These are players who could not commit to every week (like everyone else has done) but are available for the odd game here and there. They will keep the standard high. YOU MUST TELL ME, MARC LAPOINTE AND YOUR TEAM CAPTAIN ABOUT ANY GAME YOU WILL MISS BEFORE THE THURSDAY MORNING OF THAT WEEK OR YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOCATED A PLAYER TO REPLACE YOU. You will be shafting your own team by leaving the squad a man short. As an alternate, you should bring a $5-fee per match.

Week 1 alternates for:
Team B: Jason Da Costa (vacation) = Andy Nera
Team A: Kevin Sheehan (injury) = Fred Juett
Team B: Frank Zegers (Englebert Humperdinck concert) = Dan Cheney
Team D: Tyler Wallace = Antoine Lagarec (second game)
Team A: Aydin Oyali = Sergio Miccas
Team A: Thierry Ntwari (2 weeks, injury) = Greg Andujar
Team B: Steve Johnstone =

As I said, by agreeing to play in this league, you have committed to turning up every week, so I hope this first week is just an anachronism and will not be the norm.

4) Payment
Marc Lapointe is currently on the hook for nearly $6,000 for rental fees for the dome. The balance is due Friday night. Please make sure your cheque - PAYABLE TO MARC LAPOINTE - is in his hands as soon as possible. This is a priority.

5) Team Captains
Team captains (Dom Rochon, Steve Kowlessar, James MacMillan, Marc Labrom) are responsible for a couple of things, including: 1) ensuring any alternate player used has a uniform for the team; 2) making sure all players arrive on time for the warm up, and warm up & cool down properly; 3) substitutions during the game; 4) encouraging social activities post-game.

2006-10-30 Finalized Indoor Teams

Well, when I say finalized, I mean nearly finalized...

These are the teams of players for the indoor league, which starts Friday. We are in the hole financially for this BIG TIME - so you should make sure your payment reached Marc Lapointe BEFORE Friday (unless you contact him directly to make other arrangements).

There is a group of players who will act as Alternates - players who could not commit week in, week out like you all have. If for any reason (and there should be nothing other than forces majeures) you cannot play, you need to contact Marc Lapointe as soon as possible - and NO LATER THAN THE WEDNESDAY OF THE WEEK OR YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO PLAY.

The schedule of games is on an earlier post. You should be there well in advance of the game for a 30 minute warm up. The first week, there will also be administrative details to take care of, uniforms to distribute etc.

2006-10-27 Confirmation

Tomorrow's game is outside, rain or shine, snow or hail, frost or blizzard. I've checked in the kit bags and there are no long johns, thermal undershirts or fleeces - so you are responsible for bringing your own.

Anyone wearing more than five layers of clothing will be fined.

2006-10-26: Directions to Ben Franklin Park

Mother of God!

Here we go. According to the OCSL web site, Ben Franklin Park is at Hunt Club and Greenbank. Turn onto GIBBARD AVENUE and it is there, before you get to Knoxdale.

Alternatively, turn off Hunt Club at Knoxdale and then turn on to Gibbard. If you do this, Ben Franklin is before Greenbank.

Helen Keller could find it.

Last one there buys the post-match drinks.

2006-10-24: Teams for Indoor League Created

The teams for the Royals Indoor League at the Gloucester Dome are nearly complete. Four teams will compete in a mini-league over a period of 17 weeks. Games are at 8 pm and 9 pm - you should be there a minimum of 45 minutes prior to the game, so you have a 30 minute warm up. There will be a referee in charge of 2 x 29 minute halves with a 2 minute water break in between. Games must start and finish promptly.

You should contact Marc Lapointe ASAP to pay your $175 for this. It is a competitive league and there will be a prize of some sorts for finishing first.

Not all players have yet been assigned to the teams, but to keep everyone in the loop as early as possible, here is a tentative roster. One more player will be added per team, However, you have all committed to this and the objective is to (a) keep the quality high and (b) give everyone as much playing time as possible.

Sanjeev Parma will join a team's roster at the 9-10 pm time slot. The team he will play for is marked with an asterisk (*).

There is also a group of alternates, players who can fill in for absentees. So far, I know of: Frank Zegers (Nov 3), Greg Donnard (Nov 17), Jason DaCosta (Nov 3). If you are unable to attend a match, you MUST give Marc Lapointe prior warning so he can contact the alternates and not leave your team short.
