Southwest Fire Year-end Celebration

Southwest Fire Competitive Soccer Club's year-end celebration took place in Arkona Saturday, at Rock Glen Park, with all the fixings, fun, friends and family. 

There were awards too, delivered after food, Coaches Allison, Duncan and Steve rewarded Luke with best sportsman, Hudson was best rookie, and both took home LaserQuest value packs. 

The results of voting and coaches choices for the remaining rewards went as follows: 

1. Miles C was rewarded as Southwest Fire's Ironman - for getting up when knocked down, and being one of the strongest, most reliable players all season; also considered a strong favourite for MVP

2. Miguel S earned Outstanding Defender - for all his positive clearances and leadership at the back end of the team on the pitch

3. Blake M earned Outstanding Midfielder - winning the vote with ease at 12 votes, more than anyone in any of the other categories, for hard work and positive distribution in the middle

4. Devin S won Outstanding Forward - for his "pace-abuse' style of turning nothing passes into killer goals

5. Brooks I was named Southwest Fire Outstanding Leader - from a tight vote with Amer in 2nd, and lots of vocal direction, encouragement and guidance on the field

6. Owen H was announced as Most Improved Player - starting the season reasonably well, but showing great grit and determination to win balls, pass and support the team even stronger down the stretch

7. And, last but not least, Most Valuable Player went to Daniel W-L for leading the team positively from every position he was asked to play, Solid on D, Positive in Mid, and scoring the most goals of any Fire player upfront. 

Congratulations to everyone who played with the Fire this season, and best of luck in all your future soccer endeavours. Your coaches this season are very proud of your tenacity and fortitude and never-give-up approach to attending all practices and games this season.
