2009 Rovers Winter Season: GAME ON!
The 2009 Rovers winter season starts tonight at the Lachine Catalognia SoccerPlexe @ 10 PM
This years team looks pretty strong, the Twin Towers of goal keeping are back to share the duties. Team Captain, Owen Branigan, and rookie keeper, Francois Fortier held their own through out summer in what can only be described as a rebuilding year. Up front the Pocket Power forwards of Marty Bellemare and Bobby Piazza seem to finally be getting over the language barrier and finally getting some goals into the back of the net. Long serving Rovers veterans Tony Buffo, Gary Albrecht, Hector Alcortag, Steve Duckworth and José Velazquez return for another winter season providing some solid defending and leadership up front. Along with all the of the experience, we’re counting on Tonny right (and sometimes left) foot, Gary’s fervour and Hector’s lungs to the 13 strong side. José is joined in the middle by this summer’s Latin sensation: Juan Ruiz Mendoza. Adding to the middle is sometimes midfield and is Jeff Ayoub who you can always count to move on up and strike the deal! And finally rounding out the roster is another summer addition acquired during the spring transfer window from the Predators: Michel Bassil. The Rovers are counting on Michel to repeat his summer exploit of 1 goal at least another 15 times.
See you all tonight!
