First Regular Season Game VS SG Saints

Whenever we start a new season in a new age group we often wonder how we will do in the season.  This Indoor season has the EMSA Premier A and Premier B leagues combined in one league so that team get to play many other teams in a larger pool. As the younger Selects FC team in U16 Premier we are automatically put into the B pool and the older team into the A pool.

Of course as luck would have it the first team we get to play is the SG Saints in the A pool.  You may remember that this was the team we played in an early season exhibition game over a month ago.  Last month we were shaking off cobwebs and the other team really took the game to us.   This time around was a different story!

The game was simply beautiful.  Our team was firing on all cylinders tonight and man did it show!  It was also obvious that the work we have done in the past 4 weeks since meeting that team before has paid off in abundance.  We controlled almost every aspect of the game tonight and won handily with a stunning 6-0 victory!

Spruce Grove did not give up throughout the game and our many thanks for playing us with a quality and clean game.

We have always had a good relationship with Spruce Grove teams and we know it going to be a harder game next time we meet.  ;)


What tonight's result shows is that our team is CLEARLY competitive in the U16 age group and the win of this type is a testament to the hard work and dedication everyone on the team has towards the game we love.

As with any good game the pace is fast and furious.  Unfortunately during one of the drives on their net Savannah got hurt just above her shin pad and has be taken to hospital.  Once we have an update on her status we will let everyone know.

We are off to an excellent start to the season ladies, keep up the fantastic work!
