Sunday’s year-end tournament was a great way to end a season for the Kincardine Dentistry Under-20 boys soccer team. 

The first game, in the morning, resulted in a disappointing 3-0 loss to Saugeen Shores. 

The second contest, against Tara, produced a more favourable result. Despite the tenacity of the Tara side, Kincardine Dentistry prevailed for a 3-1 victory.

The most satisfying victory was the bronze medal game against Kincardine’s bitter rival, Walkerton. 

Walkerton opened the scoring on an awkward bounce mid-way through the first half. 

Kincardine’s Jacob Siekierski evened the score before the half-time mark. 

In its frustration at not being able to intimidate the Kincardine side, Walkerton's bullying tactics resulted in a Walkerton player being red carded (suspension from tournament) for “intent to injure”. 

Two Walkerton fans were also ejected from the grounds as the referee tried to maintain order and some sort of sportsmanlike atmosphere.

Having to play short-handed for the rest of the game, Walkerton was unable to keep up to the renewed vigor of the Kincardine boys. 

With only a minute remaining in the game, Siekierski scored his second goal of the game, to the loud cheers and jubilation of players, coaches and fans, with the bronze medal victory.

The team voted and presented awards to the following:

• Jesse Chen – most sportsmanlike player
• Kent Bernath – most improved player
• Jordan Boyle – most valuable player

A big congratulations to the Kincardine boys and a sincere thank you to the coaches, fans and sponsor of the Kincardine Dentistry U20 boys for a very rewarding season.

Jesse Chen is named most sportsmanlike player
