Ithaca United Soccer Club

Thanks to all who came out to play and watch the Guthrie tournament at Cass Park this past weekend. The weather was glorious and the play fun. Four games for each team turned out to be a lot.

Congratulations to Arly’s Army, who won all six of their games, overcoming the New World Monkeys in a penalty shoot-out to take the final late Sunday afternoon.

Send photos if you have them, we’ll put them up on the site.

Arly's Army versus New World, Guthrie 2011 Final

Shenanigans versus New World Monkeys, Guthrie 2011

The Cass Park, Guthrie 2011

Due to all the rain this week, the fields at Cass Park are unplayable. Large parts of both fields are currently (Friday,29th) under water and Cass Park management has not been able to mow. Cass Park has requested that we postpone and that everyone stay off the fields for several days.

Okay maybe Ithaca is not as bad as this, but…

The Guthrie tournament, both Coed and Open, will be held May 7-8. We plan to have the Coed games early in the day, until 3pm or so, and the Open games late on both Saturday and Sunday.

Here is the schedule for the Coed tournament, Saturday-Sunday April 30-May1,MAY 7-8, Cass Park.

There will be an independent team, the Independent Mysteries, for which individual players are welcome to come and play. Players will pay just for themselves: $20/person for 3-5 games, $10/person for 1-2 games. Please spread the word.

Now canceled due to lack of teams. But come play in the Coed tournament.

Due to the weather–rain tonight and Saturday–and the wet fields, we are postponing the Open tournament from this weekend until the May 7-8 weekend. The Guthrie is supposed to be a fun tournament celebrating Spring and getting back outdoors. Standing around in the cold rain and mud is not the answer.

The Coed tournament is still on for next weekend, April 30-May 1. Come out and enjoy! And there are still four days to put in your own team! We currently have ten teams registered.

And put in your own team for the Open tournament. The more the merrier. We are extending the registration deadline for the Open tourny until May 4th.
