A nail-biter 42-40 overtime win brought home the gold for the girls, after also winning the skills competition on the weekend.
This win has given the team a very proud moment, the culmination of lots of hard work to this point. A couple of weeks ago they competed at Brockville's Stacey Dales tournament and won their first team medal... a bronze. In all of the excitement, the team didn't get a post-game picture of their first medal win. In the weeks following they've tried to re-enact that post-game picture, but have been hit hard by the flu and haven't had the whole team available for it! Even this weekend, they had players fighting the flu who couldn't be at all of the games. In the end, they'd like to give a big shout-out to the KYBA Atom Girls Selects call-ups who were able to help them out and support them in their big win at Mike O'Connor!
There were 4 skill competitions at the Stacey Dales tournament as well, with the ONL U12 girls squad winning all of them! They certainly drew on the pride earned at Stacey Dales to fight to the top and win gold at the Mike O'Connor tournament.
KYBA wishes the ONL U12 players and coaches much health and continued success for the rest of the season!
