Town of St. Lawrence

===========================

What exactly are some traits that sets the ‘winners’ apart from the ‘losers’?

• Having A Dream- All feats of great success and achievement start with a dream. Without a dream you have nothing to drive and inspire you into action. A dream is very powerful motivating force and it can also act as a compass pointing you in the right direction and ensuring you stay on track.

• Sacrifice-There is no easy path to becoming the best…to becoming a champion.  To achieve your sporting dreams then you have make the necessary sacrifices. Nights out on the town have to be replaced with countless hours of practice and preparation.

• Hard Work- Winners all have an insatiable appetite for hard work. They understand the values of hard work and they pay their dues through sweat, blood and tears to achieve excellence.

• Belief- Belief is an absolute must for any success. All the sporting greats of our time had this unquenchable belief in themselves and their ability.  Our inner beliefs originate from the most powerful part of our mind- our subconscious. Our subconscious mind is the power centre which controls all our actions, behaviors and movements.

• Perseverance- Winners have the ability to hang in there, even when things aren’t going their way.  They possess a mental strength…a ‘never quit’ attitude which enables them to ride the storm of adversity and challenge to come out victorious at the end.

• Focus- Achieving any dream or goal requires focus. You can’t waiver and get distracted. What makes a winner stand out is their ability to focus somewhat obsessively on their goal. They have an unwavering discipline and determination to shield themselves from everyday distractions and opportunities and focus purely on their goal.

• Love of Competing- Winners thrive on competition. Having the opportunity to pit their skills against all comers seems to put fire in the bellies and enhances their performance. They don’t shy away and fade into the background.  Their attitude is alike to a gladiator entering the Coliseum. They are prepared and ready for battle.

Steve DeLong

Long time rivals Holy Cross & Laurentians

hit the field on Sunday

On Sunday the Larentians will play the province's number one seeded men's Challenge Cup team for the past three seasons, Holy Cross/Kirby Group. Holy Cross, again in 2012, are supporting the best record in the league. They have the leagues most prolific goalscorer , Steve Lelong and they are again illustrating numbers to show why they are the best defensive record in the league.        However, their one and only lost (4-3)  came to the Laurentians three weeks ago at KGV. That match was the best game of Challenge Cup that I've wittnessed in years. There were some great goals scored and both teams played with heart and displayed toughness.. The referree , Mike Edmunds worked hard for his pay and he wasn'y shy in showing both teams who was the boss, he dished cards  like he was at a bingo game. Fans surely saw great entertainment and  got their moneys worth. Now will we see the same this Sunday at 2 PM.? 

Stay tuned and I'll see you at KGV this weekend to watch soccer at it's best !

Congratulations to Kevin Pittman !

Kevin Pittman

Pittman reaches milesstone

Long time NLSA official, Kevin Pittman refereed the Molson Challenge Cup match between St. Lawrence and Mount Pearl and it was his 2000th game.

Actually, I can remember back some 30 years ago when it was Kevin, Alec "Bo" Slaney ,Jackie Walsh and myself that attended a referee's course given at the Burin Peninsula Vocational School. I believe Ern Foote was the instructor. The rest of us did officiate at various provincial levels but it was Kevin who took it to another level. Kevin referred at local, provincial and at National Levels .

What do I most remember Kev for?

 I remember Kev referring one particular game when I was coaching the Laurentians and we were playing a team from Ireland, in St. Lawrence .The team was touring Newfoundland. Kevin allowed 15 minutes of extra time and when  Ireland finally tied the match at 2-2 , he blew the whistle. I know, at that time, I was totally poisoned and I never forgot it. LOL

Congratulations Kevin

On behalf of the sport of soccer in NL, I would personally like to congratulate you on your milestone and wish you all the best in the future.
