(Photo submitted) Blyth U-11 Lightning and Thunder soccer teams combined to create the Blyth Storm U-11 soccer team for the Lucknow Strawberry Summerfest soccer tournament last weekend. The first game was against Clinton Manchester. The teams traded chances but Blyth couldn’t beat the Clinton goalie. Blyth came on hard in the last 10 minutes of the game keeping Clinton pinned down in their own end but never managed to score. The game went into a shootout with each team sending five players to shoot. Megan Hoggart scored as did Ryan Nesbitt but again the Clinton goalie came up with some big saves. The Clinton shooters also scored twice leaving the game tied. So it went into a sudden death shoot out. Clinton scored first to win the game 3-2. The Storm’s second game was against the Goderich Legion. Goderich gave Blyth a hard time and tested goalie, Evan Kikkert early in the match. The Storm offence pressed hard but the Goderich goalie stood them up every time. Blyth broke the deadlock with some good team work when Charlene Schram passed the ball up to Nesbitt who scored. Kikkert was solid in net for the rest of the match and Blyth’s one goal lead held for the win. The Storm’s third and final round robin game was against Wingham Gift Chest. The offence came to life scoring four goals and the defence shutout the Wingham offence allowing the Storm to coast to a 4- 0 win. Nesbitt led the scoring with two goals and Dalton Carey and Trystan Weber each picked up 1. Assists went to Alex Peters, Rick Pot, Weber, Megan Hoggart, Nesbitt, Wyatt Carey and Quintin Sjaarda. The final standings put Blyth in second place after the round robin play thanks in part to their low goals against average. This put the Storm up against first-place Clinton United, which had won all three of their games. In the final match the teams came out playing hard but both were playing the third game of the day. The Storm slowly took control of the match and Peters scored early with Nesbitt assisting. Peters then assisted when Sjaarda scored with a good shot low into the corner. Nesbitt scored the final goal with Weber assisting. The players started to tire in the second half and the game slowed down a bit. The Storm cruised to a 3-0 win to take the first place in the tournament and the gold medal. Pick Your Own or Fresh Picked Weather & Crop Permitting Strawberries are Ready!
