What a day…. We started with the U16 7v7 boys playing in the morning, all players able to attend, and the boys put on an easy 7-1 winning show. Then we had to split up, half of the girls went to the U18 boys game and cheered them on as they went out in pks, and the other half of the girls went to the U16 boys to cheer them on as they went out in a hard fought 2-1 loss. Then all of the players got to go to the U16 7v7 boys semi final, where they lost a heartbreaking game 4-3. They came out of it with medals and a big trophy, which is still an amazing accomplishment!!
With all that being said, all of the boys got to attend the girls semi final game, where they beat a Swiss team 3-0. The girls play in the final tomorrow where they will bring home some hardware regardless. We celebrated Rylie’s birthday as well (a win is one of the best birthday presents!!).
Overall, it was an emotional day, but a great day. Lots of lessons learned on and off the field, per usual.
Kids are doing great and loving it. Let’s hope the girls can bring home some gold hardware tomorrow!
