my first competitive outing for Canmore United soccer team ended in a QF penalty shootout loss in the Molson Cup in Banff - we got through our group in relative comfort, but faced the Bow Valley League champions in the Quarter Finals & after a tight 0-0 draw were dumped out thanks to the superior penalty kicking ability of our opponents
still it was good fun, playing on a pitch ringed by snowcapped mounatins with players from every nationality you could muster taking part and the upside of going out early was that we were able to hit the Rose & Crow in Canmore earlier than expected & sink a few consolation beers
i was in Edmonton for a few days last week, of course the big news up there is the progression of the Oilers to the Stanley Cup final - unfortunately this happened last night, (Saturday), rather than on the Thursday when we were up there - Edmonton is hockey town & their fans are almost European in their sports fervour - good luck to them in the final
next week we'll be in Victoria for most of the week, a mixture of work & pleasure - hopefully the weather won't suck so much as it has this week
