We lost in the 2nd overtime to El Salvador in the Semis. We have met them 2 of the last 3 times for a title and came out on top, just a bit short this time around. El Salvador went on to destroy AC Turn Verein in the final.

Side note: The OLD MAN took home the Silver Cup in the Over 40s anchoring the D that went 5-0 and 6-0 on Sunday :)

After the Gold Cup - FC Ireland will host our 2nd Annual Alumni game in June. Fun game on a close by field then BBQ and 'DRINKS' open to all full paid Club members and invited alumni

ALL and I mean ALL players and sponsors who have EVER worn the green since 1994 (indoor/outdoor/tourneys/Santa Cruz/Holland/ISP) are invited to join the Club for a game. We are now starting a tradition that the last weekend in June will be this event!
We divide up sides - play a game(s) on a BRAND new pitch - depending upon numbers it maybe (2) 45 min games or so….
Come back and enjoy the day in the shade with the BBQ going and the beer keg tap flowing and tell lies about the good ol days :)
PLEASE pass this email along to ANYONE you can think of that has played with the Club thru the years
PLEASE RSVP to help for the game numbers and the food count to this address (http://fcireland.com/contact.htm) at least the week before. I will post some additional information about this event on the website this week as well as far as game time and location. BBQ and Kegger will be in Lincoln. Early bets is that we will get our practice field in Rocklin for the game. Stay tuned!
