The Sarnia Spirit U11 girls are playing their 1^st season in the London & District Youth Soccer League.

For their opening game, the girls travelled to London to face Nor’West; a team that had beaten them twice last summer in tournament action.

Sarnia would strike first, some nice ball movement resulting in a shot from Kristin Parkes that beat the ‘keeper high.

Sarnia took a 1-0 lead into the half but Katie Barwitzki would put Sarnia ahead by two goals and it appeared victory was within sight.

However Nor’West showed why they will be one of the teams to beat this year and came back to tie the game 2-2 before the final whistle.
