Fernwood United's first year developed out of a Slacker Soccer pick up game played in the summer. Though there were some really, really old league veterans like Ken Evans and his domesticated brother Steve, most players were fresh, and afraid to make the hard tackles. That changed about mid season, by which time referees told us they knew we were a rough team and they would be watching out for our fouls. Players like Russo and bradley were particularily effective in harrassing the other team. Steve Evans got a yellow and then an immediate red in a cup game against Simba to run away with the ribbon for worst offence, while brother ken, taking himself out of league soccer for life with a busted knee in the first game of the season took the award for earliest serious injury. The annual award has now been named after him. Thanks so much to Logan's Pub, our first year out we looked good in great jerseys. We finished 8th, but many of our losses were close, and we could see a contending team was in the making.
