Peninsula Friendly

With temperatures soaring to record highs, Peninsula Football fans readied for Sunday's highly anticipated match. The Peninsula U6 League showcased their premier talent in a year end friendly between the Lightening Bolts and the Red Hawks. Despite the high heat, both teams looked inspired through warmups adding to the crowd's anticipation.

The Bolts 5 took the pitch with both barrels loaded. The famed combination of Ben and Elsa Kurth, wearing the home yellows, met the Red Hawks with unbridled enthusiasm. Early on Benny missed a sitter when he lost his footing, and the momentum was lost. The Red Hawks speed at the wings and the high heat proved insurmountable as the brave little Bolts gave in to the pressure.

I suppose it was the heat, but even young Caden wasn't too excited to meet the stars after the game.
