Fast Start

The Aces traveled to Bonner this afternoon, trying to build on the momentum from their 1-0 season opener win last Friday at Avon Grove. The Friars were over matched from the beginning as the Aces exploded for 5 goals in the 1st half and cruised to their 2nd win of the season. They displayed much better build up in the midfield, which resulted in many good scoring opportunities, and a bushel full of goals, while their defense was rarely tested.

It will be a different story this Thursday when LM hosts highly touted Conestoga in their 1st Central League game of the season, 3:45 PM on the turf at Arnold Field. The Pioneers return 16 players from their 2014 Central League championship team and are highly ranked in all the area soccer polls. It will be a stiff test for the young Aces' squad.

In LM Soccer Alumni news our annual "Alumni Game" is set for Saturday morning, October 17th, at 10 AM on the boy's grass soccer field at Arnold Field. We are hoping for a big turnout this year so we have enough to pick 2 teams and play each other. However, we need to know how many we can expect to be playing so we can make the proper arrangements. If you're in please email me at: bubdavidson@comcast.net and let me know soon. Please pass the word to other LM Soccer Alumni you keep in touch with.

Also, the date has been set for our annual LMSAA (Lower Merion Soccer Alumni Association) fundraiser, the "Steve Fountain Memorial Golf Event". The Date is Friday, October 23rd, at Edgmont Golf Club in Edgmont PA (15 minutes from LMHS). More details to follow in my next blog.
