Achtung Baby: Cameron Road Ends Season With 3-1 Loss
On the final day of the season, Cameron Road fell to Achtung 3-1 on the pitch, but destroyed them off of it. With 10 coolers of beer under the big blue tent, CRU was prepared for a post-match celebration, regardless of the outcome.
It was a strange game, and Cameron Road actually came out of the gates like racehorses, with a sublime opening scoring chance in the games first 5 minutes. At right back, Billy worked the ball to Chappy on the flank who gave it up to Willis. Ryan then sent a thru ball down the right hand side for Chappy to chance down in enemy territory. His resulting cross found Adam inside the box, but his first time shot went wide.
After the opening chance, it was Achtung to first break the deadlock with the first of many crazy plays. As CRU cleared the ball from the back, an Achtung player decided to let loose a 40 yard bomb thatfound its way into the back of the net. And if that wasn’t enough, they were awarded a penalty as their forward fell down from the weakest of pushes. At 2-0 down, it was starting to look like a typical CRU end of season meltdown, but Chris Peterson pulled back a lifeline.
Petersun, who was enjoying a good spell on the wing, fired in a great shot from outside the left of the box to pull Cameron Road back within a goal.
There were other scoring chances as well in the half. Z fired over as he raced on a thru-ball, Andy’s cross glanced off Chappy’s dome from inside the box, and Chappy also nicked the crossbar with a volley from a corner kick.
But at the half, it was still 2-1 to the visitors.
The second half proved more of the same as CRU tried to get back a goal. Achtung managed to nick in another close range strike and Cameron Road just couldn’t get a grasp on the game to get back into it.
And so ended the season finale. A 3-1 loss. But the somber mood was immediately lifted when the war chest of beer was unleashed upon the sidelines.
Man of the Match: with a lovely goal and a nice game on the wing, CP gave Cameron Road a small lift before the half.
Cameron Road 1 – Austin Athletic Club 5
Bad day at the office for Cameron Road. Not much to report after a 5 goal drubbing by Austin Athletic. In between all the action, Steve McKenna did manage to put away a penalty kick. Ryan, Stripy and Andy all had good chances as well.
Man-of-the-Match: Special shout out to the resident elder Scottsman, Billy, who tried to give it a go with a bum knee. Cheers mate.
Libertad Keeps it Clean, Beats CRU 2-1
Since the reporter’s trusty iMac is on the fritz, this will be short and sweet. Cameron Road’s second half comeback fell agonizingly shortas two scrappy goals sent a well behaved Libertad home with a victory. (minus the punch to Gianluca’s junk and somerolling around on the turf of course)
Cameron Road Feasts on Second Half Helping of Babaganoutch in 3-3 Thrilla
In a classic battle that goes back 10 years, Cameron Road United and Babaganoutch slugged it out to a 3-3 draw on Sunday. These two teams have been on and off foes since the D4 days when Magilow was running the show and names like Ammerman, Carlos, Gus and Wylie were listed in the game day program. As the two teams renewed their rivalry earlier in the year, Babaganoutch hoped to even the score after Cameron Road’s fall season victory. [...]
The Levee Does Not Break: Cameron Road Survive the Flooding Blue Nile
The Italian Stallion waters his brow at halftime after setting up Peterson and scoring one himself.
In a game of two halves, Cameron Road rode the first half wind – and survived it in the second – to draw 2-2 with Blue Niles. The high plains of NEMP always prove to be a challenge, and it was looking like CRU would be digging an early grave with a limited squad at game time. Luckily, due to some player identification issues in the Blue Niles camp, the game was delayed long enough for ten Honey Badgers to suit up and get on the pitch by the opening whistle. Well, really nine and a half as Adam bravely showed up despite being sick. Gianluca was also a welcome late comer as he arrived in style straight from a camping trip. [...]
Willis Scores a Sideline Double!
In a rare act of bravery, timing and a willingness to annoy, Willis performed a coveted double dose of dousing. His antics were recorded on video by innocent bystanders, and sent to CRU headquarters to be unveiled to the public. Billy and Jéfe now join Ciro as those immortalized on the web for being the recipients of “badger baths”. Look out… you could be next!!

The Bosnian Hitman celebrates his 2 goal MOTM performance as only an Eastern European can: With a tasty cig and some mirrored shades.
Cameron Road put the heat on Torchys Sunday afternoon, covering them with their own spicy salsa of dazzling feet and gritty play to earn a 3-1 victory.

And Chris Vestre made a welcomed comeback after what seems like months letting his fingers do the talking on the local jazz-fusion-metallica guitar circuit. [...]
Cameron Road 1 – Cholula 0
Cameron Road continued their hot streak as they destroyed an entire bottle of Cholula Wednesday night after a spirited Clark Field sesh. The knights of the round table were on fire as they passed around the savory sauce bottle several times until none remained. This will surely make them an unstoppable force on Sunday as they ride the essence of Cholula to a victory against Torchy’s Taco Wagon. See what you miss when you skip practice?
