Well, last weekend was a glorious one indeed. The SF Celtic coed team travelled down to Santa Cruz to play in the 7v7 coed tournament for the 6th year straight, and the end result was spectacular. The squad has made it to the competitive division finals every year that they've entered this tournamant, so expectations were high for a repeat performance. Fortunately, our heroes were up to the task and did not disappoint. With a tough 1st game on Saturday morning, one which ended 8-8 and resulted in a loss for the Celtic crew after penalty kicks, the lads and lasses came back with a vengeance in their second game to end the day with one win and one loss. Their third game on Sunday morning was a must win if the crew wanted to advance to the semifinals; mission accomplished with a resounding 7 to 1 victory. So it was on to the semis, and Celtic once again stepped it up to earn the 5-3 win. The final game was somewhat anticlimactic as both teams were fatigued and worn down, but our side played brilliantly and managed to completely dictate the pace & tempo of the entire match. Our champions ended the weekend by beating their last opponents 6 to 1 and walking away with the 1st place trophy and some nice championship t-shirts. Nicely done and much thanks to all those who played!! And a special thanks to Troy Mayers, who runs the Santa Cruz tournaments every year, and who always does a terrific job!
