The Towamencin Tigers U10 girls soccer travel team played in the Jack Walsh Memorial Soccer Tournament in Abington Oct. 9-10. The team played four very strong and consistent games during the tournament and took first place overall.
On Oct. 9, the Tigers played two 45-minute games. The first game, we played PSC Wildcats and won 2-0. The Tigers had a three-hour break during which time we bonded as great friends. In the second game, the Tigers played Cheltenham Blue Thunder and won 4-0 because our mighty defense would not let the ball past them.
On  Oct. 10, our team played two more 45-minute games. In the third game of the tournament, we were up against the Plymouth Predators. During this match, we really started to play “Tiger soccer” on the pitch. We were attacking the ball relentlessly and not afraid to go to the ball. The Tigers ended up winning by a shutout score of 7-0.
Finally all our hard work in practice paid off in the championship game against Valley Venom. After screaming our cheer, we took the field. Standing there with our skin tingling and hearts racing, the two strikers looked at each other and knew right away that their team could win the game. The whistle blew and the Tigers took the ball. However, the Tigers were dribbling up the field when an opponent came up and took it. We tried hard to get it back but we couldn't. Valley Venom is a very determined team and ended up scoring a goal.
Nevertheless, as we were running back up the field we heard our goalie Julie Mumford yell “Tigers don't give up” and we didn't. We came back and put in the next three goals. At the end of the game the score was 3-1 and the Tigers had won the gold.
We were jumping up and down with joy. Even though I am proud that we won the gold, I am more proud of my teammates because we played our hearts out and played as a team, and that is all that matters.

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.
