Reserve League - Near the End

[John L]

We're near the end of the first Reserve League season and DC is tied with Chicago for second one point behind New England - However, both DC and Chicago have 2 games left while New England has only one

How have these games been? - Any good recently? - Isn't Adu getting playing time? - How about Boswell now? - What's the remaining schedule like? - And how much money goes to the winning team?

Check out this post for info on the rest of the year for the reserve league.

$20,000 goes to the reserve champion.

In terms of quality, DC was impressive in the early home reserve games but their defense has been leaky in some of the later road games.

Adu got playing time in the early games but was a 1st teamer in the more recent weekends in which there were reserve games. In terms of the remaining reserve games and the players who have seen 1st team action this year who now may play in these reserve games, I would think that Boswell would play in both of them as would Clyde Simms and John Wilson. Adu could also see some time as he likely returns to the 1st team bench next week when Gomez returns. We also will likely see the new Argentine forward (Lucio Filomeno) get some reserve time as he gets into game shape.

I think some of the supporter clubs are trying to come out with some festivities for our last two home reserve games. show some regular team love to the reserves.

good stuff.

As we can see, the guys who have gotten fairly big minutes are Kuffour, Kuykendall, Merritt, Perkins, Thompson, and Walker. Walker basically ripped up the reserve league (he's tied for the league lead in goals with Chad Barett).
