1st Half
The Novice Black team had a great first half to their season.







After starting out with with an old fashioned run and gun game against Mariposa which resulted in a loss, the team settled into their game style winning their next 2 games. The kids then met up with 1st half leaders Durham who brought them back to earth.  The team went unbeaten in the next 4 games, showing determination in battling back to tie and win games when coming from behind.  Next was another match up against the 1st place Durham team. After a hard fought battle until the bitter end (literally) a last second goal handed the win to the Durham.  The next game was a special game on Nov 11th with Legion members and other dignitaries at the game for a special pre game ceremony. The game ended in a fitting 2-2 tie against Lindsay Teal. A tying goal in the last minute helped us secure the tie.  We have since won the last 2 games of our 1st half league schedule, giving us a record of 7-3-2. 

To wrap up our 1st half, we were entered in the Mariposa Tri-County tournament. The kids battled hard through the round robin portion of the tournament to a 3-0 record with victories over host Mariposa, Port Credit, and West London. Confidence was high heading into the championship, but our kids soon learned that games aren't won in a dressing room, as Mariposa battled hard and came out on top of a 3-2 overtime win.  

Everyone is looking forward to a great 2nd half!
