St. Columban U15 girls win championship
Soccer winds down

After a season of nine wins and
one tie, the St. Columban under -15
girls' soccer team's coach Teresa
Finlayson said it wasn't a big sur-
prise winning the championship.
But, she was glad that during the
final game, the St. Columban girls
_had to fight hard for it.
She said the championship game
against Clinton was a great game
for spectators since a 1-1 tie after
regulation play sent the girls into
two more five minute halves, ending
in a penalty shoot-out, which St.
Columban won.
"The wins had come easily all sea-
son so it was fun to win in such a
close and exciting game. It makes it
all the more worthy," she said.
Finlayson was full of praise for
the U15 girls, saying they were all
very skilled athletes even though
they were playing together on an
all -girls' team for the first time after
playing on mixed teams so far.
"They were all so unselfish with
the ball that we didn't have to count
on the same person to score all our
goals. It was a really balanced team
that was easy to coach because they
all came to play," she said.
During the finals, St. Columban
beat Bayfield, Blyth and Goderich
before winning the championship
game against Clinton.
Finlayson said the team also won
a fun tournament earlier in the sea-
son in Exeter. '

The St. Columban U15 boys'
team, coached by Brent Cronin won
silver in the year-end tournament in
Goderich recently.
Cronin said that while the team
only lost two games all season, St.
Columban lost to Goderich in the
championship game.
"We lost to Goderich during the
season too so we thought they might
be a tough team to beat," said
Cronin.
