A weekend of shut outs – one of ours, three of theirs.
In their opening game, the U15 girls accomplished their goal of the past two years with a 2-0 victory over local rivals, Kootenay South U15 team. Following that, the girls fell to the Kootenay South U16 girls by 8-0.
After a wonderful team dinner to honour volunteer coach Megan Chadwick, all girls headed off to rest up – but some spent the night in Emergency to help a teammate stabilize a health condition.
Early Sunday morning, the Selects suited up against Columbia Valley, a match that sent two more players to the Emergency ward to mend a broken foot and sprained ankle while the rest of the team battled to a 2-0 loss. Later that day, the shrinking team met the Cranbrook U15 girls and, after three unfortunate early goals, held them at bay for a final 3-0 result. In both the U15’s Sunday games they dominated the play and held possession for the majority of the game, but were unable to land their shots in the net, leaving our girls with a 4th place finish in the tournament.
Parents and coaches would like to extend sincere thanks to Dr. Brian Woodward for his willingness to go above and beyond to help out, even in the middle of the night while camping with his own soccer-playing sons – much appreciated!
