Ouzo F.C

With the regular season just around the corner, there have been some rumblings around the Ouzo Camp. 

Breaking news from ESPN says that Ouzo will be sporting a new look  this upcoming season.  It appears they have agreed to terms with Nike and the Dutch National Team to use their away kit this season.  Terms were not disclosed, but appear to include alcohol.

Rumour has it veteran midfielder Rob Anderson is still recovering from an ankle injury that forced him to miss the entire outdoor season.  He is doubtful for the 1st session after being casted and on crutches for most of the summer.  Rumour also has it there will be several top players looking to fill his spot, most notably Vic Santos, who played with the team for several seasons and a member of their Alumni.  Look for Vic to play an important role in Ouzo's quest for the title.

On a positive note, Mike Michaelides has recovered from a knee injury that kept him out of the final few games last year.  He has been seen with the Polish Eagles in the KDSL along with fan favourite "The Schnitzel".

Reports out of Peel Halton have stated that key Ouzo players Rob Rusnov, Phil Kennedy and Ruben Flores have won the over 30's Peel Halton League, while playing on loan for MCM.  MCM has provided excellent training for Ouzo players in the past.  Stu Fletcher also played for a championship side during the off-season for the 3rd consectutive year.  Management is hoping these key players will bring the winning ways to the arena this fall.

A report also was confirmed last weekend that Steve Sacchitiello, known to the fans as "Sac" will be returning this season.  He has signed an "Ouzo4Life" contract and has ensured management that he is focused on Ouzo and has been training all summer.  All the returning players have also ensured Management that they have been following the strick Ouzo off-season training program, which consists of drinking beer, late nights, eating wings and working on their sports knowledge.  A receipe for success at Soccer City.

After a tough preseason up at the cottage this past weekend, Ouzo look to get in a few exhibition games before their upcoming season in Division 1 on Sundays.
