Soccer Champs

Eric has been playing soccer on a Friday night co-ed team for the past couple of years. For the majority of that time they have played on an over 30 league, but last season they switched to a different complex and started playing in an open league. An open league is made up of players of all ages, which means their team has had the oldest players, by far.

During the championship game Eric had to play goalie, since their goalie was injured. 

And they ended up tied at the end of the game.

Since this was the championship and thereby could not end in a tie, it went to a 5 kick kickoff.

 Teams alternate kickers, and whichever team scores the most goals, wins!

It ended up coming down to the last kick. If Eric stopped the goal, they would win. If he missed they would lose.

Of course he stopped it!

Which meant they were league champions!

Apparently older not only equals wiser, but also better and faster.

Congratulations Team Hibernians!
