On Tuesday, Oct. 25, the Guilderland field hockey team, the second seed, took on the third seed Bethlehem at home, where Guilderland hasn’t played in four years. It was a section 2, Class A semifinal match.

On Friday, Oct. 21, the Guilderland football team kicked off on a new turf field against Shaker, a familiar foe. Shaker’s defense held the Dutch down all game long. It was a very important game for the Dutch as they are looking to make the playoffs.

The redone space — bright and cheerful — long the site of the Home Front Café.

Up to $110,000 of a $250,000 grant was used to upgrade the park while $90,000 was used for two lifts for the town’s ambulances and $50,000 was to improve the historic Mynderse-Frederick House in Guilderland Center with a new roof, new windows, and exterior painting.

Guilderland’s new synthetic turf field was used for the first time for Friday’s home football game.
