A big cheer before starting the second half.

….. alas we lost today

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect for a soccer game. The girls were in a good mood, positive and upbeat. In the first half it was quickly evident that our opponents were a force to be reckoned with. Our goalie had to work hard as did the entire team to keep the ball out of our net. At half time there was no score and as you can see from the photo the girls were eager to get back in the game.

Unfortunately our luck turned and the other team quickly scored on our goal and then again a few minutes later. I’m so proud of the girls that they never gave up. They played hard right to the end.

We ended up staying in the hopes that the next team from the North division would lose against the South division so that we could play another game to determine second place. Much to our surprise the team from the North was just a little better and won the whole thing. Kudos to them!

Back at school the girls told everyone that we came in third…. which is technically true.
