The U19 Bullets team won the
Gold Medal at the 2009 Alabama Sports Festival!
They defeated the Purple Pounders from
Huntsville in a scorcher in Hoover on Sunday afternoon. Coach Darren Bailey's
team finished regulation time at 2-2, then Captain Jacob Booth led his team
through 2 five minute over times, and 2 five minute "golden goal"
periods, and into the shootout mid afternoon with temperatures on the field
in the upper 90s. The Huntsville team missed their 5th shot from the spot,
and Brandon Bridgewater
found the net leaving the score at 4-5 Bullets! Well done guys!

Fields
We haven't given up on getting
our other field to replace what we lost when we had to leave JPK, but for now we
are more concerned with restoring & improving our
facilities at Grantswood. The wet weather took quite a toll on the shape of the
fields.
We have
a number of projects we're working on, so we are
trying to prioritize the time & money.
The city has agreed to let us use the funds that were
budgeted for Grantswood for the improvements that we've
outlined. Thanks to generous assistance from a special
Irondale resident, the Club has purchased 160 tons of
sand to smooth, fill, & top dress the fields. We've
sprayed for weeds, non-bermuda grasses, and clover. The
seed & fertilizer is out & we'll start to
install a drainage system by the woods by field 1 with
our Parks Dept's help in the next few weeks. We will
have some money left over when we finish those projects
and will consider installing more fencing by the school and the woods, but
how much we can do will depend on the how much money is
available. On paper it looks like we may be a couple of
thousand dollars short of what we need. If you, or
someone you know wants to donate toward the fence,
please let us know ASAP. Thanks for your support.
