are as follows:
GUNNERS IMPROVE BUT COME UP SHORT
The LRSA 90 Gunners showed improvement in their desire to play on Saturday, October 19, in Cary against a fine CASL Elite team. The Gunners came up short on offense but played a good defensive match. The Elite only scored two goals in each half to win 4-0. Jordan L. was named player of the game.
GUNNERS OUT MANNED
On Saturday, October 12, the Gunners were soundly beaten by Greensboro Gold 1-9. The match was never in doubt as the Gold scored in the first minute of the game. The score at the half was 0-6. The Gunners were missing Dustin, Joey, and Chad. Jake is still out of the keeper position because of a broken thumb. Since two of the other three players missing we were the back up keepers, we were left with no back up. Jakariy and Trevor filled in and both did a good job.
WE ARE A ONE HALF TEAM
On October 6 the Gunners challenged the national recognized FVAA Flash Red. We had them slightly shocked at our level of intensity the first half of the game and for the first part of the second. The score at half time was only 0-2. We then came out and scored a quick goal after the half bringing the score 1-2. From across the field, the parents could tell that the coach for the Flash was not happy with the play of his players. The Flash then step it up a bit and the Gunners quickly ran out of steam. The final score was 1-9. Dustin scored the lone goal for the Gunners on a short feed by Trevor. Dustin was named Player of the Game.
GUNNERS GET ROBBED!
The LRSA 90 Gunners played CASL Premier a (a team that had previously beaten the Gunners) on October 5 to a 4-4 tie. The team played well and should have won the game except for two very questionable calls by the referees. Scoring the first goal was Chase with an assist by Jake. Then Jake, wearing his brand new shoes, scored next. Cameron scored his first goal of the season on a feed by Trevor. Trevor then finished the Gunners' scoring on an assist by Jake. The Gunners played well and felt that they should have been the victors. For his efforts Trevor was named Player of the Game.

DISAPPOINTING LET DOWN
The Gunners played well the first half against the Cape Fear Breakers but a few key injuries and illness caused a mental breakdown in the second half.
