Mon, Aug 31 2009 - Indoor Soccer - All Levels Welcome (View Original Event Details)
|
A fantastic group of COC’ers made for a really enjoyable evening of indoor soccer at the Calgary Soccer Centre tonight! As usual we enjoyed a solid 2 hours of field time allowing us ample warm up time and three 36 minute periods complete with short intermissions. The game turned out to be another close one as the lead changed hands several times throughout the match. After the first period of play Gold lead 3-1 thanks to some solid goaltending but that all changed in the 2nd when a goaltending change allowed Blue to climb back into the game. Hey I warned them not to put me in net lol. Thankfully however, my teammates came through with a few goals of their own to keep things close. After 2 periods of play we were tied at 6. In the 3rd and final frame the pace and intensity picked up as it was anyone’s game. Several goals were exchanged and with just minutes to go, Blue struck twice crushing any hopes Gold had of pulling out a victory. It was a very exciting game and as usual a great deal of fun. Congratulations Blue on your well deserved 11-9 victory.
Tonight's "Player of the Game" award was presented immediately following the game to Leslie Paynter, a regular attendee of COC indoor soccer since November 2007. Leslie is a very friendly gal whose warmth and positive attitude always shine through at every event. She is lots of fun and consistently demonstrates great sportsmanship on and off the field. Leslie also recently coordinated a very successful soccer tournament weekend in Vernon BC which many regular COC indoor soccer players attended. It was a HUGE success and all who were there couldn’t say enough about Leslie’s outstanding efforts in making their weekend a memorable one. Thanks so much from all of us and congratulations on your award Leslie! It has been a pleasure getting to know you and I look forward to many more good times to come.
Thanks again to everyone who came out and made this such a great evening! I look forward to seeing you all again next time. Please take a moment to enjoy the attached photo album.
