On the morning of Saturday, September 20, the Bantam/Junior Boys’ Soccer team arose bright and early to depart for St. Andrew’s College at 7:00 a.m.  The players were split into even squads to take on two of SAC’s teams for their Homecoming event. Due to a few absences, the teams were each one fewer than a full team, fielding only nine players plus a keeper. Regardless, the boys left it all on the field and put forth their best efforts.

 

Match #1: One LCS squad took on St. Andrew’s Junior Tier 2 team. The boys played an amazing first half. Despite the slick conditions they were making good passes and the keeper, Ross Hutchinson, was saving every shot. Ali Attyani took a strong leadership role by communicating with his team-mates and coordinating plays. The boys held SAC off until the 35 minute mark when they managed to score. Following half, the players maintained their endurance, but St. Andrew’s had abundant substitutes and were constantly keeping their squad fresh. After 25 minutes had elapsed in the second half, St. Andrew’s was leading 4-0. Excitingly, with 3 minutes left, Chris Cameron took a hard shot from the left wing and scored! The final score of the match was 4-1. The coaches would like to applaud the boys on their hard fought effort and for keeping their spirits up. Special mentions go out to Matt Lawes for playing an excellent defensive game, Jackson Harding for playing hard until the end, and Rayan Alfuhaid for taking every chance he had to shoot on net.

 

Match #2: The second LCS squad met another St. Andrew’s team where the LCS boys experienced a great victory. Despite being down a player and without any substitutes on the bench, the boys were victorious over SAC. The first goal was netted by Chris Moody at two minutes into the game. This goal seemed to set the trend. Goals were scored in the following order:

The final score of the match was 8-0. Adam Stainrod and Chris Moody are to be congratulated for their excellent performances in net.

As coaches, we would like to thank all of the boys for playing to the best of their ability. As well, we would like to thank all of the LCS parents who were able to attend the matches. It was great meeting all of you!
