CPCC Men Kicked out in Semifinal by Babies Leg

After a 5-2 win over the Brokeback Mountaineers in the first round of the Men's 7v7 tournament, CPCC faced Babies Leg in the semis. The Tigers opened strong with two well-deserved goals, but the 'Legs kicked their way back into contention with a goal just before the break. The second half devoloped into a mirror image of the first, as CPCC let their 2-1 halftime lead slip away with two unanswered goals. The 3-2 loss knocked the Tigers from the tournament, but did not erase the satisfaction of a winning season built on many thrilling goals and new friendships. CPCC's composite Won-Loss-Tie record of 5-2-1 (4-1-1 regular season plus 1-1-0 tournament) was a product of an outstanding effort by the club's select men and Coach Dan Bailey.
