Childrens Tournament

15.06.2010 l Andrew Rae

The West London Ball / Street Hockey Club held another tournament on Saturday . We had 22 children participate with 6 teams in total – 4 teams in the Under 8 to under 12 section and 2 teams in the under 6 section. The format for the U8 – U12 section was a round robin tournament. The results are as follows: Round 1 The Maple Leafs (blue team) spurred on by 2 goals from Logan Street started the tournament with a bang defeating the Canucks by a score of 2-1. Goal scorer for the Canucks was Noa Schinas. Meanwhile the Screaming Eagles (Yellow team) defeated the Habs (Red team) 1 – Nil on a goal by Tao Jemiirifo. Round 2 The two winners form round one then faced-off for a battle to take the tournament lead. The Screaming Eagles got out to a 4-1 lead on a hat trick by Torin Street and Tao Jemiirifo, who recently joined the club from the ChristChurch CE School team, notched his second goal of the tournament. The Maple Leafs applied a lot of pressure late in the game managing to narrow the margin to 4-2 however they simply ran out of time. Alister Rae scored both goals for the Maple Leafs. Meanwhile in the other game the Canucks defeated the Habs by a score of 2 – Nil on goals by Noa Schinas (his second of the tournament and 35th of the year) and Tasman Roberts. Noa Schinas now only Trails Caleb Lawler by one goal for this year’s overall scoring lead Round 3 The Screaming Eagles entered the last round only needing a tie to gain the tournament win. And that is what they did battling the Canucks to a nil nil tie. Meanwhile the Habs battled for their lives to avoid the wooden spoon and managed to squeak out a 1-nil victory over the Maple Leafs. Members of the Winning team were: Torin Street, Tao Jemiirifo, William Ashton and Jason Ashton. Torin Street was the leading goal scorer for the tournament with 3 goals. In the under 6 division the Oilers (Blue) team played the Senators (Red) team with the Oilers earning a 3 – 1 win. Goal scorers for the Oilers were John-Reid-Smith with 2 and Dominic Rae with 1.

President's note

George Gortsos
ISBHF president

This past weekend I had the honour of becoming the third President of the ISBHF. I believe that as a player and coach I have always strived to play ball hockey in a skilled and team way. Now I have a chance to work with all the great leaders of our sport throughout the World who love the game like we all do. I met some great people in Paris. And I would like to thank the representatives of all our member nations who voted me in on behalf of ball hockey players around the World. This is an honour I will handle with the honesty and hard work that made me a successful player and coach. I want to share the main keys that I will strive to work with my fellow board members to make this game better around the World.
