All parents are asked to kindly confirm that your son will be playing by using this small online form (do not send by email please, it will be lost in a sea of email):

The Ottawa Fury ladies did it, defeating Quebec Amirals 6-0. It was a fabulous outing, a great match, and a great educational experience.

The kids did awesome today, winning 6x0. Sam and Philip recorded a shutout.

It was really nice to see our defenders supporting the attackers, a lot passes back to support, something they did not use to do at the beginning of the season

Our fitness work is finally paying off as they held on their fitness and desire to win to the very end.

Well done guys!

The referee was sick all morning, still managed to get the 1st half in, but could not continue so had to be replaced by Mr. M, who did  a great job. Thanks Mr. M!

In some matches a few players stand out. Here are a couple of notable players for last night.

• Francois for playing hard, trying to win - and winning - balls, tackling (fair), and putting his skin at risk for the team
• Noah for the 2 goals scored, for his speed, and for creating opportunities

Well done.

Oh Yes! Play hard and you can do it!

So many smiles! The kids got their first point, and against an OSU team.

Our players played really hard tonight. Well done, well done.

A beautiful place it is! The coach was also a really nice fellow, and their kids were nice too.

A bit of an apres-tournament let down, and that was expected. However, it should be pointed out that Glengarry finished 1st last year in the U11. They chose this year not to go into Premier for reasons related to not having enough players around there.

Braden and Noah scored goals, but the ref. did not see Noah's goal. The other coach confirmed Noah's goal. We are told that rectifying this officially can't be done, but it does not matter, Noah scored a beautiful goal. Both goals actually were beauties.

I want to pass on their coach's comments about our players after the game. These were made when we we were getting into our (very full) cars after the match:

"you guys are good players" "you just need to work on being more aggressive".

Our kids got their first two goals. Well done!

Pictures and video.

Corner kick - before: a very large empty void in front of the middle of the net?


Corner kick - after: nice catch keeper!


 (keeper: look at the ball!)


It's so cold, let's warm -up!


Chatting about life's problems.



We got snacks!


Video: this is so nice: both teams going together. Look at all the smiles!

Many players played a great match last night. Dylan was our MVP. He was a giant on the field and showed how a defender should play: aggressively anticipating opponents passes, taking balls from the strikers, beating them on the run, shadowing them closely, don't letting them turn, positioning himself between the ball and our net, decisively taking the ball out of danger, giving his heart out for the team.

Thank you Dylan!
