2018 was a year where a major project to replace the turf at Hawkings Field lasted all of the outdoor season and teams had to adjust their skills and frustrations with playing on slower field turf, (vs. water-based turf).

Astros-A emerged victorious with a hard-fought 1 – 0 over Cougars-1 in the Gold Medal match and repeat as A-League Champions! This match followed another very competitive chess match over Phoenix Black in the semi-finals the previous week, one that required penalty stroked to decide the winner.

Astros-A were able to follow the lead of Astros-B who had won Gold in their league final the previous night!

There were 6 returning players this year, but Spartans went young again this year with half of the team under the age of 16. The team had a great season, finishing the regular season with a 9 – 2 record. Spartans battled Thunder in the semi-finals and prevailed with a 3 – 0 win. In the Junior Division Gold Medal Match, it was a hard-fought match against Cubs. The teams were evenly matched and the winner would be determined by which team would make the fewest mistakes. Late in the second half, with the score knotted at 1 – 1, an opportunistic Cubs forward pounced on a passing error out of the defense to get the go ahead goal. This would be the deciding goal, even as Spartans pressed and generated some quality scoring opportunities at the end of the match. Nevertheless, it was an awesome season for the team with a silver finish!

It was a hard-fought tactical and physical battle, but TNT prevailed with a 1 – 0 win over Phoenix Black in the 2018 Indoor Division I Gold Medal Match. Despite a shortened roster from Fall to Winter (going from 11 team members to 8), the crew maintained a spotless record going 14 – 0 during the regular season. During semi-finals, action started out slow, but TNT picked up steam during the match enroute to a 7-2 win over Cougars-I. The “old gals” still had something in the tank!

Astros Selects steadily improved over the weekend and came in 3rd after the round robin on Saturday night. On Sunday morning, the team started strong with a win over Cougars-Black in the semi-final match to earn a berth against Dinos Alumni in the finals. In the Gold Medal match, Dinos Alumni scored in the first half (courtesy of Jenny Gobin, who also plays in our club’s TNT team) and in spite a valiant effort, our Astros Selects weren’t able to get the equalizer .

Nevertheless, this was an awesome result for the crew and it was a fun event for a combined Astros team comprised of players from TNT, Sonics, Astros, and Stars.

TEAM MEMBERS: Nikki Campbell (GK-Sonics), Steph Tench (Stars/Sonics), Ashley Codd (Stars), Jess Davis (Stars/Sonics), Laura Waller (Sonics), Peggy Seto (TNT), Nicole White (Astros), Maddie Romeril (Astros), Erin Roberts (Titans/Sonics), Melinda Bretzer (Astros/TNT), Chrissy Kilroe (Astros)
