PAST EVENTS: "The Match that Was..." by Peiter Groenevelt
On a spanking new soccer pitch, covered with deadly 
ASTRO turf, under a brightly shining sun, two brave teams and two 
experienced referees faced a spherical "football" (or futbol as they 
call it in Brazil). The two excellent goalies kept the score blank until 
Claudia Wagner-Riddle surprised the young upstart Grad goalie, Mike 
McGill, to make it 1-0. A fair and spirited, accident-free, first half 
ended with that score. Interested in keeping a proper balance between 
the different groups in the School, and in view of the fact that the 
Grad team won both the 2009 and the 2010 contests, your reporter was 
keen to secure a win for the Faculty/Staff team. So, early in the second 
half, he shoved the ball in the corner of the Grad net to make it 2-0. A 
victory seemed afoot until a blistering shot off the foot of Shannon 
Brown slipped under the outstretched body of the elegantly diving goalie 
Jonathan Newman: 2-1. That set the Grad team on fire. Ferocious attacks 
on JN followed. But, he stood his ground and when the final whistle came 
the score was still 2-1. By now you will have noticed that women are the 
up and coming force in soccer. For the first time in the 43 year history 
of the Bill Mitchell Memorial Cup, more than 50% of the goals were 
scored by women. "Mothers and fathers all over the land....the times are 
a changing". Please note that Bill Mitchell at 82 is as fit as ever. We 
would like to thank the two referees Terry Gillespie and Elke Eichelmann 
for a 100% professional supervision of the match. Please go to the 
coffee room on the third floor and have a look at the two group photo's. 
Some person in SES, younger than me, may see an opportunity to make some 
money for the United Way by selling copies of these photo's for $5, 
which is the price for a pint of beer in the Grad Lounge. Finally, all 
Faculty ans Staff can now rest in peace, stop exercising, eat as much as 
you wish, and concentrate on your research, because there is no shame in 
loosing the 2011 contest.
