Call our newsroom at 527-0240 Seaforth travel soccer teams kick off new season Jeff Heuchert The travel soccer season has kicked off, with Seaforth being represented by U11 and U13 coed teams- in the North Huron Soccer League. John Taylor has returned for his second year in coach- ing the U11 team. He says in their first two games this season, the U11 team has won by a combined score of 18-0. "We have a lot of 11 year olds that have played for quite some time," says Taylor, adding, "and they really know what they're doing." But if the first two games are any indication as to how strong the U11 team is offensively, the same can be said for their defence and goaltending, which is yet to allow a goal against. Taylor says the team is extremely confident right now, but he doesn't want his players getting too confident. "I don't mind them losing a game here and there. I t keeps them on an even keel," he says. Another concern says Taylor, is that his team will not play all of the 15 teams in their division during the .reg- ular season, which consists of only nine games, due to a bye in their schedule. "It's kind of early to say how we're going to do because usually there's some strong teams that come out of Clinton and Goderich, and we won't face some of them until the playoffs." At the same time, Taylor says it could work to their advantage not playing some of the stronger teams dur- ing the regular season. "I don't know if it's a disadvantage. If w,e haven't played and lost to a team already, we won't be thinking about that if we play them again," he points out. The year-end playoffs run during the week of July 17, says Taylor. Last year the U11 team lost in the quarter finals, so Taylor is hoping for a better result this time around. "I don't really know how we'll do. We have a good team, but anything is possible." As for Seaforth's U13 team, coach Gerry Gibbs says while his team has gotten off to a 04-1 start, they have played much better than their record states. "We had a great come back, but fell just short," he says, referring to their second game of the season, where they almost rallied to tie a game they were losing by three at half. See OFFENCE, Page 14
