U13 2012

Please come and cheer your St. Anthony's U13 soccer runners this Saturday!

The Ottawa Race Weekend is this Saturday afternoon. This is the top annual event in Ottawa after Canada Day. Please come and cheer our team's runners. The 5K is at 5PM and the 10K starts at 6:30PM at the corner of Elgin and Laurier, there are many world-class athletes participating. The women start 4-5 minutes earlier, and there is a big prize depending on whether a man or a woman finishes first.

We think, if all goes well, that we will finish the 10K between 55 and 58 minutes chip time. The arrival is at the canal (Queen Elizabeth) just south of Laurier. Please come and cheer our players on.

5K and 10K runners are excused from soccer practice in the AM.

On Sunday AM, the top marathoners go by Wellington and Athlone around 7:20/7:30AM. We plan on being there as well to cheer them on. This is a terrific opportunity to see some of the top marathoners in the world up close, and a lot of fun, see the amazing speed they have.

Our first real match was a very difficult one, but Almonte is always beautiful!

MVP for the match, chosen by the coaches: Adamo, will full stars going once again to Francois as well for stepping up to the plate once again, and earning an official shutout.

A difficult soccer game, but our kids found a way to prevail.

An 11K run today, in the heat, with Gustavo, Justin (Almonte SC) and Francois.

This happened while we were running, can anyone guess what this is or how this is possible?

Very well done by our team, picking up 2 victories, a tie and a loss, that once again could have gone either away. We finished with a +5 goal differential and suffered our 1st goal (it was about time!).

Star of the game: Most players worked hard and many were outstanding, but the star of the game (and MVP) goes to Francois for taking on the gk duty under difficult circumstances at the last minute as our gk had not arrived. He did it for the team, did an outstanding job, and then scored a beauty for the team on the 2nd match. Outstanding work by our defense too, in particular Adamo, John, Shar, K'paw. Thank you.

Many, many, thanks to all the volunteers. Other videos and photos will be posted on the tournament site.

This was a really nice easy-going practice.

Not sure how they managed to do this!

We had our toughest match to date. Our goalkeeper kept us alive, but it could have gone either way.

After 3 matches, no goals against, amazing.

Star of the game: Daniel, but great playing by many others too.
