The Grand Bend U13 Girls had a spectacu-
lar season, finishing at the top of their divi-
sion with a 14 - 0 record. For their first game
of the Challenge Cup Tournament, they
faced North Middlesex Red Devils, winning a
decisive 9 - 0. They faced St. Mary's in the
semi-finals - the only team to have scored on
them twice during the regular season. The
girls worked hard and held them scoreless,
winning 3 - 0. For the final game, they faced
Strathroy, the number two team. Strathroy
came on strong, but Grand Bend led 2 - 1
going into the half. Five minutes into the
second half, the game was called due to
weather. Despite waiting for almost two
hours, the weather would not cooperate and
the game went unfinished, and the champi-
onship was awarded to Grand Bend.
After finishing the season in first place,
with a 12 -- 2 record, the Grand Bend 1116
Boys were optimistic going into the Chal-
lenge Cup'lhurnament on August 27th, They
won their first match 6 - 0 against Lucan, but
barely squeaked by Coldstream, with a goal
in the last minute of regulation time by
Andrew Soudant giving them the 3 - 2 win.
In the semi-finals, they beat Glencoe 5 - 1
and went on to face North Middlesex in the
final. After an exciting, evenly matched
game, the game ended in a 1 - 1 tie and the
team was faced with a shootout. After the
first five players from each team shot,
the game was still tied and the shootout
moved into sudden death. Four more play-
ers shot from each team, with goalie Josh
Ilotson deflecting many of the opposition's
shots. Unfortunately, our players couldn't
get a goal either. Finally, Josh called for his
turn to take a shot - and scored the winning
goal.
