Maples Girls U15 Indoor Soccer Team Shoots - and Scores - Third City Championship

Three trips to the city championships in as many years marks a tremendous accomplishment for the Maples indoor soccer U15 girl's team.

This year's final was scheduled for Tuesday March 23, 2010 and kicked-off at 8:30 PM at the Seven Oaks Complex - located just behind Garden City Mall.

This was the first time our girls played on "home turf" and it was a great opportunity for the Maples community to come out and support for this very talented and hard-working team.

We wish to congratulate the players, our soccer Director Blair Mansell and his excellent coaches for their dedication and hard work.

Stay tuned to the website; we'll be adding a new Rugby section to provide information as it becomes available.

We welcome Mr. Khan and Rugby Manitoba to the Maples family; their talent and enthusiasm will enrich our community centre tremendously.

We'd also like to congratulate all of our Hockey and Ringette participants for making the 2009/2010 season the best ever.
