A very enthusiastic group joined me at the Subway Soccer Centre tonight for the 113th edition of COC indoor soccer. The teams were very evenly matched and there was plenty of great end to end action throughout. Just one goal separated the squads after the first frame and with a mere 30 seconds remaining in the 2nd, Blue knotted things at 6. In the third and final period however, goals were much harder to come by as the teams combined for just 3 more. Unfortunately for Blue, two of them belonged to Gold and they went on to win 8-7.

Tonight's "Player of the Game" award was presented immediately following the match to Aiyi Lui, who played a fantastic game for the Gold squad. Despite being hit twice in the face by the soccer ball, getting steamrolled in front of the net by one of Blue’s most feared goons and receiving several other bumps and bruises, she never missed a shift! She took it all in stride and managed to keep a smile on her face in the process. Aiyi joined the club a little over a year ago and despite attending just a handful of soccer events thus far, she has been a great addition to the group. Her friendly demeanor, positive attitude and high level of sportsmanship make her a very likeable person and an easy choice for tonight’s award. Congratulations Aiyi, on your well deserved Bobblehead!

After the game, we all hit the Soccer Centre Pub for some well earned refreshments and Girl Guide cookies (courtesy of Amanda). Thanks to all who joined me, it was a really fun evening!

TEAM BLUE: Duane, Ben E, Brian, Chris, Amanda, Franco, Linda, Miguel, Christina, Scott and Rob
