Sunday 30th November and coach Katie Sweeting takes the Tees Tiger youth team for their
first ever match….. Although they all compete in canoe slalom, they’d never played as a team
before and any practise was down to a few sessions at the training venue at Stockton….

“Just wanted to say a big well done to the kids who competed today in Pontefract, with only a
4-0 loss to an experienced Kingston side followed by a 2-2 draw agianst FOA and narrowly
losing 3-2 to green star after a disallowed goal, then to go on and once again draw 2-2 with an
older scratch team is more than impressive for a first ever competition for you guys.”
And many thanks to the organisers who ran such a tight schedule, even managing to fit in some
extra mixed team matches at the end for fun. The next match is again at Pontefract at the end
of January, now they’ve got a taste for it, they promise to learn more of the rules for next time!
