Sarnia Fury U-10's Advance To Playoffs

 

   The Sarnia Fury U-10 boys soccer team advanced to the playoffs with a victory in their final regular season game over the Bluewater U-9 team in Lambton /Kent district soccer action. The Fury team finished the regular season with a record of five wins versus seven losses.

     In the game at Heritage Park Wednesday night the Fury team came out a little sluggish and allowed a goal early in the game at the 7 minute mark. This seemed to serve as a wake up call for the Fury squad as they then started to play to their potential and took control of the game. Good use of the field and some good ball movement led to a goal when Trever Forsten scored his first goal of the season to tie the game at the 15 minute mark. Then minutes later John Anthony Filia scored on a perfectly placed shot to the bottom left corner of the goal to put Sarnia up 2 - 1. Trever Forsten scored off a scrambled corner kick at the 30 minute mark to put the Fury up 3 - 1 at the half time.

     The Fury team came out determined to finish what they started and controlled the play for a majority of the second half. Strong work by Jordan Hawkes, Zackarie Hall, sawyer Osborne and Jakob Washington helped keep the pressure on the young Bluewater team. Troy Hall played his strongest game of the season and scored at the 50 minute mark of the game on a nice shot that made it over the Bluewater netminder. Bluewater scored their second goal of the game a minute later to close the score to 4-2. 

     The team would like to extend a special thanks to our sponsors at BMO, Franco Filia @ The Co-Operators, Shannon Kerby @ Freedom 55, Dave @ Southshore Landscape and Kimball Tree Service.

The other semi final has Bluewater White facing off against Chatham in Chatham. It is encoraging to see 3 of 4 teams that qualified for the playoffs are from Sarnia.
