Fair Play Tournament & 46 Smiles!
The gang is all here!
It was great to see so many kids come out and participate in the Fair Play Youth Floorball Tournament held at the Roundhouse last Saturday. There were 4 teams in each category of ages 10-12 and 13-15. All 8 teams that competed can be congratulated for truly showing excellent sportsmanship in all areas. They were respectful to their opponents, they followed the rules of the game as well as the call of the ref. A great floorball group!
The level of play also deserves praise as it was the highest we have seen to date. Many of the players had there best performance to date. Most impressive was how the kids played as a team, working the ball around the court, passing to each other equally, unselfishly.
In the 12-15 age group, the Red Devils went undefeated and had a close final match against the Sentinel Spartans, just edging them out 9-6. Special note to Matt Durrans on the Devils who is only 8 and stood his own and them some to this high intensity match. Dingos took third and the Eagles fourth. MVP went to Jamie Turner of the Red Devils. Team with best Sportsmanship went to the Dingos.
In the younger age group the snickerdoodles also went undefeated and took gold. The Snickerdoodles really played as a team and it was this teamwork that allowed them win gold over the Flames. The Moose saved their best match to the end and took bronze over the Mighty 4s. Snickerdoodle’s Kevin Fabian and his strong defensive played was awarded MVP. Team with best Sportsmanship went to the Moose.
A huge thank you to the kids for their excellent behavior. Also to the parents and their support. There must of been close to 50 watching. Special thanks to all the volunteers, the coaches, refs, scorekeepers for their kind and caring attention of the kids. Also to the staff of the Roundhouse; especially Steve and Josh.
