Nine female St. Albert Impact soccer players will kick the ball for Team Alberta North at the Prairie Invitational Tournament, July 22 to 28 in Calgary.
Samantha Bourbonnais, Shania Carrick and twins Brooke and Cara Lang from the U14 Tier 1 team made the U14 north squad, and Leila Chou air, Hanna Gallant, Elizabeth Lang, Alana Srochenski and Abby Wilson from the U14 Tier 2 team will compete for the U13 north side.
Last year’s tournament teams included Alberta North, Alberta South, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
The Sturgeon Valley Golf & Country Club was awarded the Podersky Cup after winning the Edmonton and area female two-ball handicap inter-club challenge.
Each match is played in an alternate shot format with two golfers playing against two golfers from another team from a different golf club.
The winning Sturgeon Valley team featured Karen Clement, Doreen Ross, Darline Shelemey, Jeanette Golko, Joan Rever, Lisa Fedoriw, Linda Parrott, Carol Smith, Maggie McFarlane, Linda Mitchell, Betty Tessie, Kathie Bone, Linda White, Sarah Vaage, Judy Hansen, Marie Wiedeman, Bonnie Gilroy, Linda Meyer, Catherine Page, Olga Kolomyjec and Vivian Knight.
The trophy was first awarded in 1948 and was donated by the Louis Podersky family in memory of their son, Fred, who died at the age of 27.
All good things must come to an end, including the 10-game winning streak by the St. Albert Cardinals in the bantam AAA provincial seeding round.
Wednesday the Cardinals struck-out 16 times and managed only three hits in the 10-2 loss to SEEBA at Legion Memorial Park.
SEEBA scored four runs in its first at-bat and one was earned.
The Cardinals had a chance to reply in the bottom of the first, but sloppy base running killed a potential rally.
The Cardinals scored their runs in the third on a single by Peter Corrigan.
Jeremy Gamracy, Spencer Dronkelaar and Nate Bryson threw for the home team.
The Cardinals are now 10-1 in the provincial qualifier format and 11-6 overall. SEEBA is 7-2 for an overall 12-3 record.
Today the Cardinals host the Calgary Cubs (4-16) at 12 and 3 p.m. and Sunday the Kooks Dawns Red (4-11) at 10 a.m. and the Sherwood Park A’s (9-8) at 1 p.m.
