Celtic U-16 D1 Team Plays in Semifinals of NorCal Regional Tournament Print E-mail
Tuesday, 30 June 2009 16:21

The U-16 D1 Celtic team coached by Damian Johnston and Asst. Coaches Mike Linder and Matt LInder advanced to the semifinal round of the NorCal Regional Soccer Tournament on June 15th. Celtic played Livingston Deportivo whom they tied in an earlier round. The teams were tied 1-1 at the end of regular game time and went into overtime play in the semifinal round. Deportivo fouled a Celtic defensive player by shoving the Celtic defender into the Celtic goalie head to head. Both Celtic players were down and the defender was taken by ambulance to the nearby hospital where he was diagnosed with a concussion.

Play continued in the overtime but Celtic went down 4-1.  The Celtic players will meet Deportivo again on Deportivo home turf during regular league play. Celtic team members include: Yair Alvarez, Carlos Amezquita, Alejandro Casillas, Ivan Chavez, Riley Clark, Maxwell Cline, Jonathan Cortes, Francisco Guerrero, Rory Johnston, Conor Johnston, Brayan Laurel, Robert Miller, Daniel Montes, Cesar Pino, Diego Vasquez, Ezequiel Vazquez, Victor Virgen.

Ben & Jerry'sBen & Jerry’s local owners Troy & Dawn Marmaduke present a donation to Sam Honey, SVYSA President
Ben & Jerry’s Sonoma devoted time, money, and lots of great energy to the first big fundraising event of the 2009 soccer season on April 21st at the Sonoma Plaza.  The SVYSA Scholarship Fund was one of two beneficiaries of Free Cone Day, along with Stand by Me Mentoring Alliance.  3,500 scoops of ice cream were donated by Ben & Jerry’s, netting $1,070.25 for Sonoma Soccer Scholarships.   This money directly benefits young soccer players who otherwise might not be able to play soccer in Sonoma.
Anytime you stop in to Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop on the Sonoma Plaza, you are likely to see a photo slideshow of various soccer teams, and our Free Cone Day photos, while you choose your favorite treat!

All our gratitude to the Marmaduke family and Ben & Jerry’s, who are very committed supporters of SVYSA and our local children!

If you’d like to contribute to our Soccer Scholarship Fund, please e-mail fundraising@sonomasoccer.org.
