The Yorkton United FCC U12 boys had a marathon weekend in Regina League play. They worked hard in four games, two at home on Saturday and two at Regina's Liebel Field on Sunday.
Saturday Yorkton was visited at the Parkland Mall Field by Regina's QC United in the morning and then REU Redbulls in the afternoon. QC bested Yorkton with a score of 5-1. Brady Gelowitz provided Yorkton's lone goal. Yorkton met QC in Regina two weeks ago in a game that ended in a 2-2 draw.
The afternoon saw Yorkton fight a tough battle against the REU Redbulls which ended in a score of 3-2 for Regina. The Redbulls provided challenges for Yorkton's attackers and defenders. Matthew Cochrane and Thomas Djagowez scored for Yorkton.
Sunday morning, Yorkton met the Regina REU Boca Jrs where Yorkton came out on top 5-2. Coach Mike Jakubiec said the boys played very well in all areas and could be very proud of their efforts. Scoring for Yorkton were Matthew Cochrane, Nolan Maier, and with a hat trick, Jordin Rusnak.
The afternoon saw Yorkton's fortunes turn to a very tough loss against the Redbulls in the second matchup in as many days. The final score was 7-1. It wasn't until the 50th minute that Matthew Cochrane brought the score to 6-1 before Regina concluded the game with their 7th in minute 66.
Yorkton United FC Chelsea is off to Winnipeg May 31 to play in the Winnipeg Youth Soccer Association's Children's Hospital Tournament.
Their next Regina League games will be June 15 and 16 when they will be playing another four games in two days.
