Soccer president Andrew Darling said "the weather gods were on our side as we were able to get all the games in with the last game played under the lights at Exeter Community Park start- ing at 8:45 p.m." The two teams involved, Delko Bridge and the Strathroy U13 girls enjoyed the experi- ence. Although Saturday was a long day it was rewarding for the play- ers. All the Exeter teams played hard, with the U17's, U15's and U11's making it through to their finals only to come up a little short. In the case of the U15's and U17's, the teams lost in a penalty shoot out. The field conditions were excellent some- thing that did not go unnoticed by many of the visiting coaches. Darling said a special thanks to Dave Atthill and his crew at the Rec Centre is in order.
