banquet The dinner and dance event was held at the Georgetown Leg on Kennedy said he was not expecting the award and added it was a good thing he did not have to make a speech You get up there and your heart is pounding he said It was excellent Looking back the captain said his high and low points with the team came In the same year The year being 1982 83 when the Gcmin met Derbies In the league final The high point was beating and Burllngtontogettotheflnal he said Those two teams might have been better on paper but we got there because we had the heart The low point I guess was when Strectsvllle beat us by something 17 or 17 3 It was hard being humiliated by Street The Derbies ended up winning the final in four straight games Another painful memory for Kennedy came the next

being the team captain because this team was young had the respect of the player and I respected them We should have gone to the final and won he said We had the talent and almost the exact team of

natural for him to want to go out a winner and Kennedy admits he was no different Oh yeah everyone wants to win a championship and it was hard playing for a team that was not as strong as the team two
