Ponoka Minor Soccer Association’s U6 Timbit program had a very successful season.

It started with a coaching clinic ran by Lonny Behm and Brad Normandeau with the help of  current and past players, which was very informative to those who have  never coached soccer before.

Kudos to everyone involved on a job well done.

With the Lucas Heights fields soon to be under construction, we moved to the St. Augustine School field to play. We had eight teams with seven-eight players with over 60 players all together.

Parents, relatives and past/present players donated their time to coach and teach the key fundamentals of soccer or be a parent captain.  Without volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to run the program.

We appreciate everyone who helped out to make our season a success and cheering on the players.

U12 Lightning girls win silver

One of Ponoka’s two U12 girls’ teams, the Lightning returned from Camrose on Thursday, June 26 with a silver medal of the league championship after they lost to the hosts 1-0.

The girls played their best and two of them, Brooklynn Budd and Rheona Morrow are joining the Camrose team for the provincials in Edson on July 11-13.

Bucs win over Vandals

The Central Alberta Buccaneers traveled to Lloydminster in order to take on the 0-3 Vandals.

Bus-fatigue was apparently nonexistent for the Bucs as they kicked off strong against their Lloyd opponents. At halftime, the Bucs led 20-0.

Despite their rocky start, the Vandals managed to mount a comeback. They narrowed the gap to 35-20 by the end of the game.

With this win, the Bucs improve to 2-2, placing them in a three-way tie for third place in the AFL.
