VAINQUEURS!!
Olympique Montreux, 5
Pan World FC, 0
Utah Challenge Cup Final.
It took 4 years of trying to assemble a good women team that would play togetger and win something. We have had good players and we’ve beaten good teams. But for one reason or another, the project could not take off.
La mayonnaise n’avait pas pris!
But this year, we got lucky. Some young women of goodwill came together to create a cohesive unit, supporting each other, losing together but never giving up. And winning together.
A team of accomplished ladies, scientists, PhD candidates, university students, bakers, biochemistry graduates, cancer nurses, estheticians, cardiac unit nurses, legal professionals, bank employees, high school students, teachers, medical researchers, engineers, etc.
They grew to become a good team. A physical team. A technical team. A resilient group. And most of all, a coachable team. Many played in a few games as guest players. Others played a half season. But they all contributed immemsely.
I can proudly say they are all MY PLAYERS!!!
