The Alumni Game – the main event! Our home town players warmed up and got some advice from some of the Alumni players.
Trevor Kidd at the ready….or is he? Minnie scored for Castor after this so maybe he should have been a little more ready😉
Cue the applause! Yay Mannie!!
First to score against the Alum got a surprise!
Coaches Corner during the intermission entertained everyone! Leo and Dwayne thanks so much!
This penalty shot was off to a good start….at least he’s having a good time!
