Troops Return Home

Chalupa and Peanut return home after a moderately successful soccer match. Chalupa was invited to "play up" with the U11 team (Peanut's team). They played the undefeated and ruthlessly physical Owatonna team.

Chalupa scored one of the teams two goals in the first half, but they also gave up a very savable goal as well and went into the half leading two to one. In the second half Owatonna's offence blasted past our defenders for a three on one shot on goal. Chalupa was tending the net, but the shot went just beyond her reach to tie the game. And there it remained when the final whistle blew.

It was a moral victory for Monkey Doo and a blemish for Owatonna. Make no mistake, Monkey Doo served notice and will be out to ungraciously smother this rude and ruthless opponent every chance they get from now on. Until then, the girls can smile and even stick out their tongue to celebrate a match well-played! We'll get 'em next time, but good!
