TORONTO - The G"olden" boy of the team, captain Charles Eppich, along with Steve Ward and Matt Dookie all exercised their player options and will be part of the new look 2009 Pistolas FC.
Team Captain Charles has been a key player in dealing with league officials both on and off the field, and though age (or Guiness) may have caught up to him and slowed him down later in the season, he was still rather speedy and finished the year with 6 goals on the year.
Steve Ward, the ironman record in games holder, was consistently there on the field week after week and was perhaps one of the top most committed members of the squad. His new shoes midseason appeared to do the trick, as he broke out on a streak in the latter stages of the year, and finished tied for second in scoring with 6 goals.
Matt Dookie's growth on defence continues two years in. He's been solid, chases down runs, and tackles like there's no tommorow. And never one to back down from opponents, his intimidating size often shuts them up first.
PFC will now turn its immediate attention to Keeper Mark C and Sweeper Rocco, and Eddy M.VP, all instrumental players in any success the team looks to acheive.
As for the rest of the squad, invitations to resign or tryout for next years team should be going out this week. Stay tuned.
