The London City Falcons put in a heroic effort in Ontario Cup competition this past weekend. Riddled with injuries and walking wounded on the pitch, the Falcons surrendered 1 goal in all the games, but failed to advance from the tournament round.
In the opener, Katelyn got things rolling just two minutes into the game, converting a nice cross from Hailey past the Tecumseh keeper. Hailey added a second before half, slotting home a nice cross from Bradie. Nikki added a third, scrambling home a rebound off a nice strike by Hailey. Julia and the defensive team, with Kathleen at sweeper, earned a well deserved shut-out.
Final score Falcons 3 Tecumseh Warriors 0
In the afternnon game, the girls played extremely well, and were unfortunate not to gain a result they truly deserved. Hailey, Katelyn and Lisa came close to slotting home a key goal, but it just was'nt meant to be. Unfortunately, a huge blunder by the official, at the end of the game, proved to be costly, as the cross town rivals netted a late winner.
Final score London United 1 Falcons 0
Now onto day two, and another fine performance. Nikki got things rolling plotting home a bobbled ball over the line, and Lisa added some much needed insurance early in the second half, as the Tornadoes were starting to battle their way back. The back four of Jocelyn, Cole, Jessica H, Cassidy and Brianne, once again shut things down and snuffed out all forward advances by the Tornadoes, protecting another shut-out for Julia.
Final score Falcons 2 - South West Tornadoes 0
The final game of the round robin tournament was against a fine team from Sarnia. A combination of smart ball movement, and fresh legs fro Sarnia, coupled with the fatigue and injuries the girls suffering, gave the definate edge in play to Sarnia in this one. Hailey blasted home a well taken strike from 25 yards out to give the Falcons a 1-0 half-time lead, and once again, the girls shut down the fort in front of Julia to hang on to the 1-0 victory. Tireless midfield work by Jessica K, Bradie and Sarah H.
Final Score - Falcons 1 Sarnia 0
Job well done ladies. Get better Kathleen, Jodie and Sarah, we need you. The rest of you, plenty of ice and some well deserved rest. Although we do not move on from here, as it would appear, we are extremely proud of your effort!!!
Good luck to our cross town rivals, London United Freedom, as you move on to the Ontario Summer Games. We wish you all the best and hope you represent our region well in Ottawa. Go get 'em ladies.

The Falcons opened their WRSL regular season campaign with a hard fought 1-0 win. The teams sparred in the first half with limited chances, with the best opportuity coming off Jodie's boot, with a well struck right footed shot off the cross bar.
No score at half time.
The girls had a slight edge in the opening of the second half, with a couple of close calls, and Southwest answered with a couple of mid field strikes that were not far off the mark.
Unfortunately, with 16 minutes remaining, Sarah suffered a serious injury and had to be taken away by ambulance. Great to hear you're OK young lady!! Get better soon!
Jodie finally broke the deadlock with a gaol in the late stage, and the girls survived a late rally by the Tornadoes, to earn the victory. Julia earned the shut-out, supported by strong defending by Kathleen, Jocelyn, Cole, Brianne, Sarah, Lisa and Jessica H.
Good job girls, now back to the practice field!

WOYSL Opening Kick Off Tournament.
This weekend saw the opening of the Outdoor season with the WOYSL
Tourney.
Saturday.
The Falcons got off to a slow start against a hardworking Eastside team
which jumped into the lead and never looked back. Falcons 1- Eastside 4,
Hailey getting the loan goal for The Falcons.
Second game Saturday was against the Soo, totally different game for The
Falcons, their marking was tighter and had chances to win. Falcons 0-
Soo 0. Shutout went to Lisa.
Sunday.
A rematch with the Soo, very early goal from Hailey on a corner by
Nikki, probably will be the goal of the year. The goal actually seemed
to boost the Soo team and had chances to tie the match, Nikki scored the
Falcons second goal with a nice finish. The Soo added a goal towards the
end making it Falcons 2- Soo 1.
Semi Final match so the Falcons go up against the Freedom under cold and
windy conditions. The Falcons took the lead on a well struck free kick
from Hailey, The Freedom tied it up to force extra time which solved
nothing. The Freedom won the match on penalties.
The Falcons showed improvements as the weekend went on, well done
ladies, next game will be our opening league match Thursday against
Southwest.

| Raining Saturday Afternoon in Oshawa |

| Digger battles for the loose ball against an opposing player from Pickering |
The London City Falcons Regional Girls (with some premier call-ups - Thanks Girls!), were in Oshawa on the first weekend of May to match up against some unfamiliar opponents in the Frank Sobil Spring Classic in Oshawa, ON.
The Girls kicked off the tournament Saturday morning against the Pickering Power, one of the top ranked teams '94 teams in Ontario. The Falcons held Pickering scoreless after one half of play, but Pickering capitalized on some unfortunate mistakes by the Falcons and scored 3 goals in the second half to shut the Falcons down in their first game.
FINAL SCORE: FALCONS - 0 PICKERING - 3
FALCONS GOAL SCORER(S): NONE
After some much needed rest the Falcons regrouped for an afternoon affair against the OSU Force from Ottawa. The rain was able to hold off for the first game against Pickering but most of the parents were forced to stay in their warm and dry vehicles in the afternoon game as the rain came down throughout the game. Nikki was able to take advantage of the wet grass as she skipped the ball through the wall and past the helpless OSU goalkeeper on a well struck free from just outside the 18 yard box. The Falcons dominated the rest of the game but couldn't come out of the game with a victory as OSU was able to get a goal over the Falcons goal line. Both teams earned a point in the final game of Saturday as they duelled to a 1-1 draw.
FINAL SCORE: FALCONS - 1 OSU - 1
FALCONS GOAL SCORER(S): NIKKI B.
The Pickering Power were able to win their two games on Saturday which put the Falcons out of any hope of playing past their third Round Robin Game. But the girls still wanted to use this game to their advantage, whether it be for practice or bragging rights. The coaches stressed a possession game which worked to their advantage. Although the Falcons opponent, Quinte West, were able to get a lucky goal off a bad bounce infront of Falcons goalie Julia, the coaches told the girls to stick to the strong play they had already been playing before the Quinte goal. The message worked as more possession play led to a foul in the box to force a penalty shot for the Falcons. Brianne was called out to take the shot and she answered the call as she placed a well struck shot in the top corner of the Quinte goalkeeper. The girls to a 1-1 tie into the half and came out with the same intensity in the second as Lisa was able to pounce on a rebound let out by the goalkeeper which put the Falcons in the lead for the rest of the game. Lisa was able to add some insurance in the last minute as she was able to hit a well hit ball into the top corner to put Quinte to sleep for good.
FINAL SCORE: FALCONS - 3 QUINTE WEST - 1
GOAL SCORERS: BRIANNE B. (PENALTY SHOT)
LISA S. (2)
The tournament provided some good experience for the Falcons as they prepare for their action in the WRSL league. The Falcons were able to place 2nd in their division in the tournament but unfortunately, only the top teams from the four divisions moved on to the semi-finals. GREAT JOB GIRLS!
