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.
