One thing about you can say about Green White – the club has a welcoming spirit of hospitality. When visitors come to the clubhouse parched from the journey, it is not long before they have a beverage in hand to quench their thirst. When players, dressed in green or otherwise, are hungry after a run, they don’t have to ask twice before a plate of goulash is brought to their table. These are just a few of the hall marks of Donauschwaben hospitality. Unfortunately, on January 22, 2012, the Green White spirit of giving also found its way onto the pitch against Vikings AA. Indeed, right from the outset, just 80 seconds into the match, Sean Connor watched his mark run by him to the near post on a restart from the corner, and before he could offer to butter that toast, Vikings were up 1-0. Three minutes later, the defense turned to get the visitors a napkin, and voila, 2-0 Vikings. After a few minutes, Green White pulled one back when Connor played into the feet of a posting Andreas Laxgang who touched it back to Anthony Loiacono for the one time strike. It was a nice series of one-touch action, but Green White gave it back just 60 seconds later when Adrian Skital lost the ball on the dribble for the fast break the other way. Green White cut the deficit back to one goal when Art Rosiles intercepted a 3/4 length Read the rest of this entry »

The Green White Over 40 Team limped home from the 2012 Las Vegas King Cup held over the Martin Luther King weekend. Short story – the team made it through to the knockout stages, but “injuries” took their toll and the team bowed out in the quarter-finals. Look for the full (edited) recap of the events in the next newsletter. In the mean time, check out the pics in the photo gallery under the Multi-Media tab.

The Green White First Team jumped back into Metropolitan League action on January 8, 2012 with a matinee match against SC Srpska. As those who follow the Metro League know, the Serbian club is a relatively new addition to the league’s stable of teams and has found the going tough; toiling near the bottom of the First Division in the outdoor season and finishing dead last in the 2011 indoor campaign. With this in mind, Green White took the field full of confidence; perhaps, some might say, a little too much confidence. Indeed, sometimes memories are short and while Srpska could muster points from only two games all last winter, one of those points just happened to come against a certain team in green silks. Add to that the fact that Srpska entered the third week of the current campaign undefeated and one point ahead of GW in the standings, and Green White had sufficient reasons to be on their toes. Unfortunately, they were not and just three minutes into the match, on literally their first foray outside of their own end, Srpska scored to take the early lead. But not long thereafter Green White equalized on an individual effort from newcomer Adrian Skital who stripped the ball in the corner to gain possession; turned inside and beat the keeper near-post with a easy Read the rest of this entry »
The Green White First Team opened the 30th edition of the Metropolitan League Indoor Season on December 11, 2011 with a convincing 4-0 victory over FC Connection. GW keeper Jose Cornejo got the offense started with a length of the field outlet to RMU team mate Gordy Gurson who had raced behind the defense on the break. From there, the 2011 CCAC Player of the Year and NAIA All-American Honorable Mention turned to face the defense from the right Read the rest of this entry »
