Date: February 5, 2009
Start: 6:30pm
End: 7:25pm
Where: Havins Field #2
Opponents: Kat1Kidz

We were the visiting team.

Outcome: LOSS
Final score: 17-7*

* - The actual score of the game was 15-7, but the league incorrectly recorded it as 17-7. I have the league score reflected here. The line score below reflects the actual scoring of the game.

Notes: This was the first Weasels game under the revised league rules. Previously the league was divided into novice, intermediate, and high. Starting this season, they introduced a new level beneath novice, called recreational. Accordingly, in some sense, novice is the new intermediate, since most of the beginner teams were moved down to the recreational level. A second change in the rules allows the league to decide the level at which a team should be playing, rather than leaving it up to the team. Due to these new rules, the Weasels are back to novice. If this game is any indication, novice will be a lot more challenging than it was when the Weasels last played it. Thanks to Dan for subbing.
