MEN’S SOCCER TIES ON THE ROAD
Charlestown FC (the Premier Over 40 Boston soccer club) played to a tie game on Oct. 21 against the Warthogs FC in Foxborough, but still remain at the top of the table. The team needs to win at home in the last match of the season on Nov. 4 in order to secure a spot in Division 5 for the Spring 2019 season. Charlestown is still undefeated with a 4-0-4 record this season and two more games to be played on Oct. 28 and Nov. 4.

A special thank you to the team’s main sponsor, Monument Tavern, which is sponsoring the team’s equipment, as well as hosting the team every Sunday morning after the games.
IS THAT A WRAP?
Former standout Vermont defenseman Patrick Cullity may have reached the crossroads of his nine-year professional career. After a successful run as a Catamount backliner (two goals, 23 assists), Patrick added impressive ECHL (14 goals, 73 assists) and AHL (one goal, 20 assists) stats to go along with his rugged on-ice reputation, a “family” trademark passed on from a gifted gene pool. Congrats, Patrick, it was a “heckuva” ride.
