Aidan, Midfielder, at Season's End.
22 January 2008
My son's soccer season ended yesterday.
They were finally bumped out of the quarter-finals in a closely contested match yesterday afternoon. I made it for the last 10 minutes, flying in from Prague just in time to see them go down 1/0. Too bad. My son had a great tournament - he works the midfield and did a great job of the things such should do - making plays and poking a few in when the defense wasn't on top of things.
Well, as it happens, this team's defense was always on top of things, and despite a great struggle, they couldn't complete before time ran out.
Regardless, the boys of EFC Blue did really well, considering things didn't go so well during the regular season. Apparently we are a tournament team. We went farther than expected and it was a fun ride.
In looking, Aidan had a great season, grew as a player and scored his fair share. His first year in premier club soccer was a success in our eyes.
So in celebration, I threw up the lights and coaxed my son into a few poses. Here are a few I really liked...
