It was another fun weekend of soccer for the U11 Boys’ Development team. This past Sunday, the boys travelled to Penticton for another two games in the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League (TOYSL). The first game was a tough match against Vernon. Our team played extremely well in the first half and they held Vernon to a close game with fine passing and aggressive play. Unfortunately, Vernon proved the stronger team and they pulled away early in the second half and would go on to win the game 5-2. Revelstoke goals came in from Alexander Gribbon and Thomas Macdonald.
In the afternoon, the boys faced up against Kelowna. The Revelstoke team had a great first half in this game with two more goals coming from Alexander Gribbon and Thomas Macdonald. Up one goal at the half and sensing the excitement of a possible win, the boys had to calm their nerves and play a solid second half. With mounting pressure from Kelowna, Elliot Wilson was able to score a third goal to secure a 3-2 win for Revelstoke.
After their victory, the boys’ shook hands with the opposing team, they thanked the referee, and then they ran across the field to give a special Mothers’ Day cheer to thank the mothers and grandmothers from Revelstoke for their unwavering support on the sidelines and beyond.
Here are some photos from the weekend games:
