The U-12 Sting entered a split squad of two teams of seven going into the Umbro Beach Blast at Jericho Beach. Both teams went undefeated thru the round robin with Sting Red finishing 3-0-0 and Sting White at 2-0-1. This saw Sting Red in the Gold match where they narrowly lost 1-0 to a full squad team and Sting White took Bronze in extra time on a golden goal from a Taylor Russell free kick. The Sting had a great time out on the beach, working hard and enjoying a different version of the game. Well done ladies.

Well after months of fundraising, training, games, etc the SurDel Sting finally acheived their goal of playing in the USA Cup in Minnesota. The Sting's first day of the tournament was a big one as they started things off with a bang winning 3-2 against the NSSA Ice, with goals by Jamie Cornes and Hailey Lemon (2). The Sting are playing girls that are anywhere from a year older and the competition is huge both in size and attitude so a win was massive. From there they were off to the opening ceremonies where 15,000 players from approx twenty countries all converge into an Olympic style walk in by the athletes. The Sting were the first Canadian team in and got a massive ovation from the rest of the Canadian fans.

Day #2 was a steam bath as the rains in the morning met the players as they had a private session with Minnesota Thunder head coach Manny Lagos. The Thunder play the Whitecaps so having some one on one time with him was a great experience.

The U-11 Select 1 SurDel Sting took gold at the Steve Bonnett Memorial Tournament in Mission. The Sting went undefeated thru the four games with three shutouts including an exciting 1-0 victory over PoCo in the championship game. The whole team played outstanding soccer and tournament MVP's, as named by the opposing coaches were, Brittany Costa, Jade Milford, Armani Takhar and Jamie Cornes.

The Sting's next tournament will see them off to Minneapolis to play in the USA Cup in July.

Well done ladies!!

Coaches Kev, Paul and John

After last weeks' win over Golden Ears 3-0, and three straight shutouts by Sarah Johnson and Chelsea Jewel the U-18 Sting are top of the U-18 Metro league. Sting play this Saturday in Victoria without a number of players, so it should be a challenge as they defeated Victoria 2-0 the first time earlier this season.

They finish off the schedule prior to the Christmas break at home to Vancouver United. Game time is 2:00 at Delsom Park on December 13th. We would love to see all the young ladies come out to support us.

Thanks,
Wayne Trafton

U9 SurDel Thunder played in the Burnaby Thanksgiving tournament this weekend and came in first. The girls were outstanding. Not only did they have fun, play hard, run hard and play as a team, they also played up a year in the U10 grouping. The girls won all 4 games, the shoot out and the Robert Baggio contest. Good Job SurDel Thunder!

The U13 Inferno finished first this past Labour Day weekend in Langley and took home a gold medal. Congratulations goes out to all the girls for their hard work, excellent sportsmanship and commitment to their team. Great offense by the forwards, constant pressure from the mid-fielders combined with superb stand up defense from the full-backs and sweeper ended the weekend with 3 wins and 1 loss. Thank you coaches Gary, Patrick and Rick. Go Inferno!

Surdel Sting U-18 went through the round robin of the Coquitlam Labour Day Tournament undefeated, but fell short 1-0 in the final to Burnaby United in a well played game.

The U14 Jaguars capped off a tremendous season with a 4th place finish at Provincials. The lone loss in round robin play and the loss in the third place match were both by 1 goal in games that the Jaguars had chances to tie or win. The entire team played excellently and combined with the teams winning of the Coastal Cup this year has made for a season that coaches Rusty, Dorian, and Doug and manager Lisa are very proud of. Congratulations to the girls for their hard work and great efforts!

The SurDel U 14 Gold Jaguars finished off a spectacular season by winning the Coastal B Cup in Coquitlam on Sunday April 19.

The U18 Bronze Leaping Leprechauns have made it to the Coastal Cup finals in Langley on March 29th.

After getting off to a slow start this season, the small green machine got into gear for the Cup round robin, going 3-0 and outscoring their opponents 18-4. Led by keeper Aimee Flemmer, they won the next three elimination games by a combined score of 13-1. Coached by local soccer legend PJ O'Neil with the assistance from Emma Frew, the girls have really responded to the challenge of a grueling practice and off-field conditioning schedule.

Congratulations go out to the SurDel Inferno who narrowly lost a 2-1 battle with the Ladner Vipers for the U12 Red South District Cup this weekend. A large crowd was on hand at Dennis Elsom turf to watch the girls play one of their best games of the year. Well done ladies - keep up the hard work!
