More named MVP Georgetown resident Jonty More earned most-valuableplayer honours for his play in goal for the Oakville Gunners' under-17 boys' soccer team that recently won a tournament title at Disney World in Florida involving some of the top clubs in the U.S. The 17-year-old goalkeeper backstopped the Gunners on to victory in all three matches he played, including a clean sheet in a 3-0 triumph over a team from Cobb, Georgia in the under-18/19 Copa B Final of the Disney Chelsea FC Showcase Tournament at the Disney Wide World of Sports Stadium. The Grade 12 Christ the King Secondary School student was in goal for Oakville's opening contest, a 2-1 win over South Carolina's Soccer of Columbia United. More watched from the sidelines as the Gunners lost game two of the preliminary round 3-1 to TFC Dallas 91/92, but was back in goal for Oakville's 3-1 win against top-ranked Florida Soccer Alliance Lightning that put them through to the B division final. Submitted photo Field of Dreams expected to stem drain of athletes to other communities Continued from pg. 20 He expects the Field of Dreams will raise the stature of youth sports in Halton Hills and stem the "southern drain" of elite-level local athletes and coaches who join clubs in other municipalities in search of superior training facilities and instruction. "We can now have kids out on the field basically from March to December and that allows teams proper time to train and get ready for the season," Kardash said. "You're not strapped by being indoors in Acton with a low roof, which eliminates the kicking game and throwing the ball long. Previously, we couldn't even get our blocking sleds on the field and we'd never get on the grass field until May. Three out of the last seven years, the Christ the King field was shut down and that left us scrambling all the time." Troop noted that the committee has had discussions with the Halton Hills Minor Lacrosse Association and track-and-field groups about their interest in jumping on board and that other recreational organizations such as rugby, adult soccer and touch football haven't been accounted for at this point. "We've left about 40 per cent of the available time open so that these other groups can use it because this has to be a truly community facility," said Troop. As well, a Donor Wall will be erected to allow for "grassroots" financial support, in which community members can recognize or memorialize anyone they wish on the wall for a minimum donation of $100.

The North Halton Twisters Girls' Hockey Association is set to host its eighth-annual fundraising CWHL game tomorrow beginning at 7:30 p.m. when the Brampton Canadette-Thunder take on the Vaughan Flames at the Alcott Arena. Two of the Thunder's front-line forwards, Jayna Hefford and Gillian Apps, were selected to play for Team Canada at next month's Olympic Games in Vancouver and the perennially contending Brampton squad has struggled to score without them, sitting fifth in the sixteam CWHL with a 7-10-3 record. It's expected, however, that 2002 Olympic champion Lori Dupuis will be in the Thunder lineup as captain Friday against the fourthplace Flames. "It's too bad our two Olympians aren't playing because Georgetown puts on a great show every year, but it's been a good building experience for some of our talented young players who are getting the chance to play and show what they can do," said Canadette-Thunder general manager Donna-Lynn Rosa. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Vicky Sunohara gave birth to twin boys in September and the 39-yearold hopes to be back playing for Brampton shortly. Tickets for the game are $8 each and will be available at the door. An autograph session will take place after the contest. 20 Shamrock Rd, Erin 519-833-5085 www.davidserin.com Fiesta Mexicana Saturday January 30 Can't make it to the sunny south this year?
