Gerry Kirby & Scott BettsNL Women's Soccer Team has arrived
Personally, I would like to throw my hat off to the two men shown above. I think that these two individuals has put NLSA Senior Women's Soccer on the map. Three years ago, when Gerry and Scott got the Kirby Team off the ground, they took a lot of heat for building or going with a so called all -star team. But today, just a mere few years later, our Senior Women's soccer is much improved, both at the provincial and the national level, because of their initiative. Two of the past three year's the NLSA Women's Jubilee final ended in a 1-0 score. While at the National Jubilee Shield Competition we are no longer beaten before the game begins. We now can compete with the best of them and again I will repeat I think that is because of
Gerry Kirby and Scott Betts.
NL Ambulance - LOLOh Yes ! ! ------ NL Fans Love Their Soccer And Are Some OF The Best Fans In Canada
Mark Dunphy - Newfoundland Fans
Allison Wade - Holy Cross's player, Zack Wade's SisterAllison is currently attending university in Ottawa and she
was there to wittiness Wade's brilliant performance as he scored
two goals in a Holy Cross 4-0 victory over Alberta in the quarter final.
She was so proud !!!!!!!
Some NL Die Hard Fans That Are Making the
Nationals an annual tradition
The Laurentian's always have a presence at the NationalsSee all the boys were drinking water - The Morning After !
You will always find the boys from Burin, Grand Bank and Fortuneat the Nationals as well.
A few of the Holy Cross parents were there to watch theirson's play - Jeff Slaney's and Chris Pope's.
Corey Moores father was also in attendance

Against Manitoba; Holy Cross had three regulars out of the lineup - John Douglas, Chris Pope and Zack Wade.
Scott Edwards played in net for Holy Cross.
Manitoba scored the game winner with 5 minutes left.
