Sat, Oct 16 2010 - Indoor Soccer - All Levels Welcome (View Original Event Details)
|
It was a quiet night at the Subway Soccer Centre as an unusually small group of COC’ers gathered together for a fun evening of indoor soccer. Despite the small turnout we welcomed no less than 5 first timers and they all seemed to enjoy themselves. In the first period of play Blue secured an early 3-1 lead only to witness Gold storm back to build a 12-6 lead by the 2nd intermission. Blue did their best to make a game of it in the 3rd but it was too little too late as Gold hung on for a convincing 14-9 victory.
Tonight’s "Player of the Game" award was presented immediately following the game to Giovanni Urteaga, who joined the COC exactly 2 years ago today but did not attend his first event until February 2010. All 12 of Giovanni’s COC events have been of the soccer variety so it goes without saying he has a passion for the game. He played very well defensively for the Blue squad tonight and made several nice offensive plays as well. He is very skilled and consistently demonstrates great sportsmanship. He always makes an honest effort to include his teammates in the play and is very approachable and friendly. It has been a pleasure having him join us for COC soccer and I look forward to having him attend many more events in the future. Congratulations Giovanni on your well deserved award tonight!
After the game many of us headed over to BP’s in Riverbend for a few drinks and a bite to eat. Thanks again to everyone who came out and made this such a great evening! I look forward to seeing you all again next time.
TEAM BLUE: Duane, Mandy, Aditya, Esteban, Julie, Colin, Lois, Melanie and Giovanni
