As the old saying in these parts goes, wait until next year. This amazing playoff run came to and end yesterday afternoon out in the Los Angeles. But while our season may have ended at the last hurdle our fans strive on, ready for next season and hungry after having gotten a taste of a Cup final.

Our boys and girls were out in strength yesterday and gave a vailant and inspired performance in song and voice as only ESC can do. To every last breath our members extingusihed from their lungs as they STOOD tall, even in defeat to give one last song of “Stand By Me” to the players to close out a season that will be long remembered.

So the SUN has set for 2009:

But ESC fought on into the night:

Its hard to beleive many of won’t be back in the stands here again until April (5 whole months away!!) But there is still much to do. ESC will likely hold its first event of the year in late January. We have a home USA-Mexico World Cup Qualifier in February. And a possible pre-season trip.

ESC is also about to sit down and iron out our plans for next season including opening an ESC Store and steamlining this website to accept online sign ups as well as revisit our “Offical ESC BAr” issue.

See ya all next year!
