On Sept. 5, the Towamencin U10 Tigers girls soccer team won the U10 Gold championship at the 23rd Annual Al Perlini Tournament in Warminster, Pa.
We played four games. The tournament started at 8:30 a.m. and ended at 6:30 p.m. It was the longest tournament we’ve ever played in one day.
In the first game we played, we had a bit of a slow start, but we won 1-0. That was a good way to start the day.
We had time to rest and were ready for the second game. This game was amazing, because we were tied 0-0 at half time, but the Tigers started scoring with only a few minutes to go and we won 4-0. Our coach tells us that "good things happen when we shoot and follow up," and he was right.
Then it was time for the third game, which we needed to win to have a chance at the championship. We did it! The final score was 2-0. We were so happy.
The last game was very close. The other team almost scored a few times, but our goalie, Julie Mumford, had some amazing saves. Then, we finally scored, the game ending with a 1-0 win for the Tigers. We won the championship! The best thing was our defense because we had no goals scored against us. We got amazing trophies. This was my favorite tournament so far!

The Towamencin Tigers U10 girls soccer team played in the West-Mont Battle at Hilltop soccer tournament. We played a very tough schedule with five games on Saturday and two on Sunday. The first three games of the tournament were qualifying games to break-up the nine teams in the our age group. The Tigers finished in fifth place during the qualifying round and won the next two games.
On Sunday, our team won our first game to go into the final game with a chance to win first or second place in the tournament.

The Tigers played the last game against a familiar team - the U10 team from Montgomeryville. The Tigers started off very slow and were losing 2-0 at halftime. After halftime, it started to rain and the field and everyone playing on it got really wet. At this point, the Tigers started to step up their game. Our defenders scored two goals on really long shots and the game was tied. We went on to score three more goals and finished in second place in the tournament. The Tigers left everything on the field during the last game.

The second place trophy we received is silver with a net in the back and a pile of silver soccer balls for the canon which is shooting a soccer ball. The trophy is pretty cool but the important thing is that we worked as a team in the tournament. We are good friends and friendship is a big part of team work. I could not be more proud of my team - we played really well in the tournament and are prepared for the next one.

The Nor-Gwyn U12 Heat Girls Softball team won its division championship for the second year in a row.
