submitted to EFP

Over the past weekend, the Essex  2009 soccer team competed in the Colasanti Cup Soccer tournament in Kingsville, Ontario. Although the weather was not ideal, the team persevered to win.

On Friday night, the team defeated Kingsville and on Saturday morning ,it won against Wheatley 1 and Leamington B. Up next, was Essex 2010s in the semi-finals. The 2009s came out on top, which sent the team into the finals on Sunday morning against Leamington A.

With cold and rainy weather again on Sunday, the players laced up their cleats for a tough battle.

The game was tied 0-0 after the first half. Early in the second half, Essex capitalized on a free kick and  there was no looking back after that! Essex played great defensively with pressure in Leamington’s end for the rest of the game, sealing the victory!

Congratulations to all team members for their tremendous efforts, which led to this spectacular result!
