Fall Season Sees Old Faces, New Home Field for Yellow & Black Attack

The Fall 2009 schedule has been published, and it is favorable to the old-look Wankas. Returning a majority of previous players, WFC will take up residence at Kuntz soccer facility on W 16th Street, downtown Indy. They will open the season by hosting ISC Falcons on Sunday, September 13.

WFC played a pre-season practice game against UB40 Inter, a previously O-40 team that has moved back to the Open division. As expected after the summer layoff, both teams played some disjointed football with a few interspersed moments of quality play and movement. After going down 2-0 in the first half, WFC rebounded through fill-in Simon Katner and Aaron Gordon before Brett Sommers pounced on a defensive error to grab the winner. Very little can be gleaned from the pre-season efforts, but it was good to see a majority of players getting some practice in. Better fitness will be key for the ball-control offense to work for the Wankas, as Kuntz is a much larger and smoother playing surface than the other Indy league fields.

The schedule is posted at the bottom of the page. Check back often for updates and results!
