The Boys’ Soccer team struggled in the local league this year.  They played some tough games in some difficult weather. Their highlight of the season was probably their success at the Christian Schools Tournament. Many thanks to coaches Roger Grootenboer and Steve Kloostra for their efforts with the team, their passion in soccer and their willingness to share this passion with the team. A team party (along with the girls’ team) will be held on Thursday, May 29^th from 3:30-5:30 pm at Brian Roffel’s house.

Players please wash and return your team shirts.

Badminton – yes, believe it or not, there are still 1-2 badminton shirts that need to be returned!!! Ugh!!

Boys’ Soccer travelled to the Hamilton/Oakville area for the Christian Schools Tournament this past weekend.  They had a great weekend, played hard and worked their  way into the B Flight finals.  Unfortunately, they lost in the finals but played really well.  Good work Flames!  Many thanks to Coach Steve for leading the team and to Richard and Mike for driving!

This is what is on the schedule for this week:

Monday, May 12 – home game v. LKCS

Girls’ Soccer – the ladies formed a team so that they could go to the Christian Schools Tournament this past weekend.  They ended up playing well together and were second in the B Flight in pool play.  They won their first game in playoffs but then lost against the strong Toronto team in the semi-finals.  They then faced Quinte fighting for 3^rd but lost against them as well.  A good effort and fun weekend for the girls.  Thank you very much to Coaches Brian and Jenny Roffel and Karen Koomans.  Thanks also to Patricia Verbeek for helping to chaperone.
