Sun, Dec 2 2012 - Indoor Soccer - All Levels Welcome (View Original Event Details)
|
Wintery conditions outside made for a perfect opportunity to have some fun inside as 22 enthusiastic participants battled it out in the 109th edition of COC indoor soccer at the Subway Soccer Centre this afternoon. After Gold opened the scoring with an early strike, Blue stormed back with 4 unanswered goals of their own to earn a comfortable 4-1 lead by the midway point of the match. The second half saw great end to end action as the teams exchanged goals twice before Gold eventually managed to pull within one during the dying minutes. Just when it looked like Blue might weather the storm, they were called for a handball in the crease and Gold made them pay, scoring on a penalty kick with just 53 seconds to go. The final minute saw a frenzy of activity as both teams desperately tried to steal the victory but when the dust settled, nothing was solved and the teams settled for a 6-6 draw.
Today’s "Player of the Game" award was presented immediately following the match to David Markham, who put in a solid effort both defensively and offensively this afternoon for the Gold squad. David joined the club a little over 2 years ago and has been participating in my indoor soccer events ever since. His friendliness, great sportsmanship and solid work ethic have made him an ideal addition to the Bobble Head Wall of Fame. It has been a real pleasure getting to know him over the past couple of years and I look forward to sharing many more events together in the future. Congratulations David on your well deserved award today!
After the game, many of us stuck around for a few drinks in the Soccer Centre Pub before heading home. Thanks to all who joined me, it was a really fun afternoon!
Congratulations also to John H. on attending his 100th event today!
