The
soccer complex at the Recreation Centre was the focal point for over
1100 players on 66 teams as the Valley East Soccer Club held its annual
playoff weekend on August 19 & 20. Coaches Gisele Haines, Sue
Beaudry and their Under-8 Coed Technatronics Club celebrate with water
balloons, squirt guns and high fives following their gold medal victory
over Teaser’s Hairstyling. They were one of the eleven teams to take
home gold, but all 1100 players left with at least a participation medal
to commemorate one of the most successful soccer seasons ever in Valley
East.
Special thanks went out to Moncion’s Your
Independent Grocer for their ongoing generous donations. Due to Linda
and Marcel Moncion’s commitment to the Valley East Soccer Club, events
such as the playoff tournament prove to be a major source of fundraising
for the club. Thanks also went out to Tim Horton’s for sponsoring the
Under 6 Dividions and all individual team sponsors who have made the
season such a success. Thanks also to Norstar Gas Bar in Val Caron and
Ecowater for their contributions. The Valley East Soccer Club also
extends its sincere appreciation and recognition to all convenors,
coaches and volunteers who donate countless hours of their time to help
in every facet of the club’s operation.
The City of Valley East is to be commended for the
excellent field conditions and maintenance. Toppers Pizza catered the
banquet and medal presentations which were held on the field under
canope tents Sunday evening.
