Pistolas FC opened up their 5th Anniversary year with a 2-2 draw at longtime rivals Cornell F.C.
Having undergone a number of changes during the offseason both at the league office and on the
roster, this latest squad reunites a quality core group, with 3 impressive upgrades - all who
factored in on the PFC scoresheet.
MARKHAM - The Pistolas took the field against the Bullets in another scorcher this
past Sunday. Going into the game, PFC was aware that a win would par up the two teams records at
5-3 on the season and a tie for second in the division. The game was battled hard through the
sweltering conditions, with PFC holding on to most of the possession and having the better of the
opportunities on goal.
MARKHAM - PFC entered the Father's Day classic this past Sunday with a renewed
outlook on the season. The team has been playing much better of late and their 3 wins (to 2 losses)
on the season were all well earned. PFC squared off against the top seeded 76ers for the second
time this season.
MARKHAM - The Victoria Day Long Weekend traditionally involves Canadians enjoying
the spectacle of fireworks. If the PFC campaign can be compared to the roman candles that lit the
sky, the PFC season kicked off brightly with a hard fought win however, by their second match, the
team's flare appeared to have fizzled out.
MARKHAM - P.F.C. kicked off their 2010 campaign this past Sunday in style against
Tom's 76ers with a 1-0 win. The game was a debut for a slew of new Pistolas and the return of many
veterans, including Jason Shumski who, after a one-year hiatus due to injury, rejoined the team.
For the spectators and players alike, the contest was one
whereby the scoring chances were few and far between for both teams.
TORONTO - El Presidente and Striker Romerinho announced his indefinite departure from the Pistolas
FC lineup, just two days before the season (warm up game) begins.
Having unknowingly fractured his right kneecap back in late February, Romerinho played in the game
at Mount Joy which only aggravated things and made it worse.
Although soccer can help you keep active and fit, the number of soccer related injuries have been
steadily growing over time, along with the overall popularity of the sport in North America. That
said, all players should keep injury prevention as a high priority. Many injuries can be avoided
with just a few precautions.

funds.

the offensive attack. Regardless of where the play is at any given time, offense requires
improvisation and creativity, which means the play may reach you at any time.
Here are some key factors in establishing a consistently dangerous offensive attack, which should
be incorporated in the grand scheme of building up to a goal.
