The Kindersley U17 Storm FC team competed in the six-versus-six provincial championships on the weekend .

Unfortunately, didn’t come up with a win but nevertheless competed well.

“We just can’t seem to finish in those close games,” said coach Darin Wildman. “We just can’t find the back of the net.”

They lost their first game 2-0 to Moose Jaw; then lost 2-1 to Prince Albert and 3-1 to Excelsior, the eventual champions.

“That was probably the best game that the guys played all year,” said Wildman. “They did very well.

“Just to add to this, it should be mentioned that we are playing against city teams that have 50,000 to 200,000 people in them, so I think especially with that considered, we did very well.”

The Storm did come up big in the skills competition and won the overall title. Wildman said they did very well at being able to hit the posts in one of the events … something that kind of summed up their weekend.

Next up is getting ready for the outdoor season. Registration will be online this year starting March 5 and going to March 27. Go to ssa-kindersley.goalline.ca or go to their Facebook page to find a link.

The annual general meeting is also coming up, March 20 at 7 p.m. at the Kindersley Elks Hall.

Kindersley Soccer is looking for coaches, managers, board members and volunteers to make this another successful soccer season.
