The second game of the season for the Blyth U-14 boys was played at Sparling’s field in Blyth on Thursday, May 15. The weather co- operated for a great evening of soccer. Parents, siblings and fans were treated to very evenly-matched soccer game. There were several scoring opportunities for both sides, but neither team was able to get on the scoreboard. The goalkeepers from each team made some great saves to prevent the ball from crossing over the goal line. Each team earned penalty shots for handballs in their crease, but were unsuccessful in scoring a goal. Wyatt Bearss and Greg Roetcisoender shared time covering the net for Blyth and both players did their part to help earn the shutout. With 19 out of 20 Blyth players present there were almost two full lines to sub on and off the field. It was hard to keep everyone into the game with such a large team, but all players gave very good effort when they were on the field. Coaches said “the players just need to work on their speed and be aggressive when working to get control of the ball. If the players move up the field together as a team, instead of individually when they were heading for the opponents’ net, they might also see a few more positive results,” they said. The boys travel to Clinton for next week’s game on May 22. Blyth’s U-12 Thunder soccer team got off to a good start with a 3-3 tie against Lucknow I at the Sparling field. Scoring were Quintin Sjaarda and Rick Pot with two. On May 13 the team journeyed to Wingham for a 4-0 victory over the Wingham Gift Chest team. Sjaarda scored with a redirect off the post from Pot into the open net. Ben Nonkes showed first-rate play with two goals assisted by Sjaarda, Pot and Alex Peters. Sjaarda picked up the final goal in the game on a shot from outside the crease through the hands of the defending goaltender. Members of the team this year are: Tyler Boven, Evan Kikkert, Liam Kikkert, Nonkes, Peters, Pot, Sjaarda, Eric Steele, Connor Wilts, Shelby Hakkers, Celena Haskins, McKayla Nonkes, Jessica Procter, Charlene Schramm, Hillary Schramm, Ariya Vellanga, Tina Vershaeve and Brianna Yuill. Coach is Clarence Bosma. U-12 Thunder nets tie to start season The Friday night euchre party at the Cranbrook Hall was hosted by Alvin McLellan, Neil Hatt and Edna McLellan.

It was an evenly-matched contest that ended with neither team getting on the scoreboard. (Vicky Bremner photo) Blyth was host to St. Columban in this week’s U-16 boys soccer competion on May 14. With three players absent from the game, some U14s did a great job helping the Destroyers out so there would be a few subs to give players a much-deserved break. It was a very wet, windy and cold night for the players and fans. Many fans choose to watch the game from inside their vehicles, but a few braved the weather and sat outside under their blankets and umbrellas. The players didn’t enjoy these luxuries and were soaked to the skin, by the time the soccer game ended. Jordon Rinn earned an assist for Blyth when he kicked the ball high into the air and Tolson Carter took it into St. Columban’s end to score the first goal of the night. For the second half of the game, Blyth had the wind on their side, which helped to control their shots. Blyth took advantage of a corner kick and Matt Steele earned an assist passing to Kurtis Kolkman who booted the ball into the net. It was unclear at first whether the next play earned a goal, because when the ball went over the line, it seemed to just slowly roll towards the St. Columban net. The ref declared that the ball did cross the line and Carter earned an assist while Kolkman earned credit for the goal. Rinn and Kolkman worked together to get the final goal of the game. Kolkman earned a hat-trick for his team. The final score was a 4-0 victory for the Blyth Destroyers. Greg Roetcisoender played a great game in net for Blyth and earned the shutout for his team. Close contest It was a homegrown rivalry at the Brussels ball diamond last week when the ASquirts took on the B squad. It was victory for the latter in this high-scoring contest that ended with a final tally of 17-16.
