The St. Anthony’s Sabres girls soccer team were victorious on Friday, winning two games in a row.
The Sabres hosted the first ever Christ The Redeemer School Division soccer tournament at the Drumheller Soccer Fields. While a number of schools in the division were severely affected by last spring’s flooding, one, Notre Dame from High River, was able to come the tournament.
The teams played twice last Friday. In the first game, the Sabres won 10-4. After a short break, they were out on the field again and this time won 8-0.
“Our girls really played well, they didn’t win the sportsmanship banner, but they were really sportsman-like on both sides. There were no cards, it was fun to watch and be there,” said coach Gavin Makse.
It was a good year for the team. While, these were their only games this season, they have had the opportunity to play a local adult team as well as parents and teachers.
“It was difficult to have expectations. We just wanted to do our best in every game, and throughout the game. They exceeded my expectations, they all played to the best of their ability, and that is what they have done all season,” said Makse.
