And they're off



Soccer games started today, fortunately we only had Ethan's game to get to as Sam and Donald don't have a game today.  Ethan has been very enthusiastic for weeks about starting the real games and was very excited this morning. Ethan's team had a great start to the season winning 5 to 1.  Ethan may not have scored a goal himself, but he did all of the hard work to set the ball up for the first goal of the game making it very easy for the goal to be scored.  



He put up a magnificent defence eyeing out the game and running around to where he was needed.  He was the last line of defence and was there to stop any opposing goals, there were many he didn't let through.  Ethan is always thinking about preventing goals from slipping through and his quick reflexes saved one goal in particular that was about to roll over the line into the goal. It's a little different this year with no goal keeper in play, just the four players each side, but still makes for an action packed game.

Maybe he has goalie blood running through his veins when stopping goals just comes naturally. Great pictures!
