Wed, Mar 30 2011 - Indoor Soccer - All Levels Welcome (View Original Event Details)
|
After a 6 week layoff it was nice to gather the troops again for another round of COC indoor soccer at the Subway Soccer Centre tonight. As usual a great mix of regulars and newcomers took part in the traditional battle between Blue and Gold for COC World Soccer supremacy! The first frame belonged to Blue as they jumped out to a comfortable 3-0 lead after 30 minutes. In the second period Gold rebounded nicely to pull even before Andrew scored with just 5 seconds remaining to give Blue a 5-4 lead heading into the final frame. After scoring their sixth goal early in the third, it appeared Blue was on their way to victory but Gold refused to quit scoring twice in the dying minutes to tie the game yet again. A short 5 minute overtime period solved nothing and the teams were forced to settle for a 7-7 tie. A rarity in the COC soccer world!
Tonight’s "Player of the Game" award was presented immediately following the game to Douglas Alexander, who joined the COC 3 years ago and has divided much of his time between mountain biking and indoor soccer. Doug is a very friendly individual and skilled soccer player who played an outstanding defensive game tonight for the Blue squad. His 3rd period heroics while in net gave his team every opportunity to earn a victory. In addition, his high degree of sportsmanship and positive attitude make him a real pleasure to have on any event. Congratulations Douglas on your well deserved award tonight. It has been a sincere pleasure getting to know you and I look forward to sharing many more events with you in the future.
After the game, despite the late hour, many of us stuck around to celebrate Kim’s 200th event with some cold beverages and snacks at the soccer centre pub. It was a great finish to a very enjoyable evening. Thanks to all for keeping it fun!
