On Saturday, June 17th, the Drumheller Minor Soccer Club hosted approximately 120 children to a day full of sunshine and soccer games.
Overall, there were 12 teams, five of which were from the valley.
“It was a good day of participation and everyone had fun and weather was good,” said Gavin Makse, Minor Soccer Club Coordinator.
There were four teams in each category where all played on a round-robin schedule.
The under six division played strictly three round-robin games but did not play in any finals.
For the Under 6 division, the final ranking is as follows; Drumheller A was fourth, Irricana came in third, Hanna was second, and Drumheller B came out on top in first.
For the Under 8 division; Irricana reigned champion, Drumheller came in second, Carbon following in third, and Hanna finishing in last place.
In the Under 10 division, Drumheller finished fourth. Drumheller under 12 finished third, Carbon finished second, and Hanna came in first.
“For these kids, they have been going since April, every Wednesday and Saturday,” said Makse.
The windup for the youngsters is happening on Wednesday, June 28.
“That will be it for the outdoor season,” said Makse.
The under 16 team have playoff games beginning Wednesday, June 21, in Irricana.
Drumheller will also be hosting playoffs for the Under 18 and Under 16 boys and girls teams even though Drumheller only has one Under 16 team.
“If they win that game then they will be up for district championships which is being hosted in Drumheller on Sunday, June 25,” said Makse. “If they want to make it, they have to win on Wednesday.”
