It turned out to be a profitable weekend for the Haverford Dragons as a solid performance on Saturday earned the club a deserved 2-nil victory over Hockessin Lightning of Delaware, and a forfeit by Sunday's originally scheduled opponent, Central Delaware Soccer, means Haverford are off to a 2-0 start on the season.
It had been a close season notable for its many changes and last-minute adjustments, but the Haverford Dragons on Saturday got off on the right foot as they handed their new coach, George Severini, a victory away to Hockessin Lightning which could have been even more emphatic than the 2-nil score.
It was Hockessin whom the Dragons hosted in the opening match of the 2009 season, playing to a draw. In that match Haverford were denied victory by both the woodwork and stingy goalkeeping.
A year later and the team is greatly changed. Haverford are still adjusting to a new coach and the loss of four starters who played pivotal roles in the team's successes of 2008 and 2009.
But perhaps the Dragons felt oddly at home on Hockessin's turf, recalling memories of a convincing win in 2006 en route to their perfect season.
