THURSDAY, MAY 19, 2011 THE NEW TANNER Soggy season opener Although Mother Nature tried her best, she could not stop the kickoff of Acton Villa's 2011 outdoor soccer season on Saturday. Disrupted by soggy weather and equally sloppy field conditions, the games went ahead undaunted. Some games only lasted one half, but the main focus of the day was for the players to meet their coaches and team mates. So let the games begin, and good luck to all involved. Sports with The New Tanner 17 TRAMPOLINE CHAMP: Acton's Amanda Nelles, 19, earned a Gold medal in the National Novice 15-plus Double Mini trampoline event at the recent Ontario Trampoline and Tumbling championships in Oakville.
