15 proved fit for the 2nd flicker ball installment in 3 years on the North Shore. The game warm-up included two rounds of a lung-busting core medley (mountain climbers, V-ups, supermans, squats with jumps, and side-touches) and some soccer ball Merkins. Teams were arranged based on age with Wicket and Barely Legal captaining a Juniors versus Seniors match-up. The game went back-and-forth, needed instant replay at one point to dispel a goal debate as heated as Crystal or Tobasco, and even a flawless Scissors Move was sighted within the Junior’s ranks (Zoolander). Fancy moves were no match for Akbar and the Senior’s stiff defense. In the end, Dangerfield’s Zioned shoe was all it took to unleash his barefoot speed with Senior ace’s Bird and Waterpik on his flanks. The Senior’s long-range shooting, including Jose 10k’s Steph Curry range peppering, bested Cowbell’s golden cleats and the Junior’s fancy playmaking, leaving the Juniors bent over gasping for air and petitioning for a re-match. The work-out ended with the introduction and naming of the newest member of F3 North Shore, “Brexit.”
Fitness. Fellowship. Faith.
