| Game One: Marin 6 – Redhook 4 |
| This was a really well played game. Being our
first, and playing the PNLA Champs (ok it wasn’t exactly the same Marin team, but
they were very good) we were a little surprised how well we played together. We were tied
3-3 at half, and were only down 5-4 with less than a minute to go. Joe played awesome in
goal and kept us in the game. Matt Cone should have had a goal at the end, but hit the
goalie in the chest as he was falling down. |
| Goals: |
- Matt Cone - 2
- Richard Barton – 1
- Matt Bilken – 1

| Game Two: Red Hook 10 - Palo Alto 6 |
| After building up confidence in the first game
of the day versus Marin, Redhook came out smokin’ and beat a deep Palo Alto team
(they had 20+ guys to our 13). We went up 5-1 early and never looked back. Matt Sauri had
a hat trick, and Joe stopped a number of weak shots. |
| Goals: |
- Matt Sauri - 3
- Rich Barton – 2
- Matt Smith –2
- Matt Belkin – 1
- Matt Cone 1
- Bryan Curtis – 1

| Game Three: The Clinic 6 - Redhook 5 |
| This one was a heart breaker. We were seeded
number one in the consolation bracket after day one play, and this loss knocked us out of
contention for the little trophy. We were up 5-1 in the beginning of the 4th
and blew it, they scored with 30 seconds left to prevent OT. The Clinic was a solid team
from San Fran that had a number of quality players. Although we lost, this was probably
our best game. |
| Goals: |
- Burke Culligan – 2
- Matt Cone - 1
- Marc Bissell - 1
- Richard Barnett
- 1

| Game Four: Redhook 6 – Olympic Club
5 (OT) |
| The Olympic Club (NY) had troubles fielding a
team, so they recruited a bunch of players from The Clinic to play for them. This gave us
added motivation as we had just lost to them that morning. This was a back and forth game.
Marc Bissell scored a pretty goal in the third which had the fans jumping, a high heat
riser from the line. The star Clinic player scored with 20 seconds left to force the game
to OT. Scott Bissell scored off a nice face dodge to win the game 3 minutes into the OT
period. Joe as usual played huge! Dave Vannoy realized he is not as young nor fast as he
used to be at midfield so he played solid at attack. |
| Goals: |
- Scott Bissell - 2
- Marc Bissell - 2
- Matt Cone – 1
- Bryan Curtis – 1

| Game Five: Redhook won by forfeit over Alcatraz |
| After the nice OT win over the Olympic Club we were
pumped to play one more game Monday morning versus a solid Alcatraz team. The losers blew
us off. They left to beat the traffic back to San Fran. To pass the time Dave Vannoy
organized the first annual Redhook Tahoe Golf Tournament which featured some of the worst
golf ever played in the state. The event was held at the Bijou Municipal Golf Course, home
of the annual Hacker Classic. Rich Barnett won the event scoring a 40 on the 9 hole
course. Scott Bissell won honorable mention with his high score of 108! Although we plan
on playing in the Lax tourney again next year, we will likely need to find another course
to hold the golf outing. I doubt they will let us play there again, after losing some of
their rental clubs, drinking a case of old Milwaukee that we snuck on and placing a record
number of divots. Complete golf scores for the par 32 course: |
- Rich Barnett – 40 (Champion)
- Joe O’Donnell - 43
- Dave Vannoy - 44
- Adam Burker - 46
- Matt Cone - 47
- Marc Bissell - 68
- Scott Bissell – 108 (Honorable
Mention)
