			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://nnusc.com/uploads/XFC-2012-Female-Showcase-Tournament-Participants.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-927" title="XFC 2012 Female Showcase Tournament Participants" src="http://nnusc.com/uploads/XFC-2012-Female-Showcase-Tournament-Participants.jpg" alt="" width="567" height="368" /></a>The new Highland Region Tier 1 (AAA) soccer club, Highland XFC, selected a female team to attend the 2012 invitational University/College showcase tournament in Bridgewater this past weekend. College and University coaches were in attendance from across the Maritimes scouting for soccer talent, as well as senior coaching staff from Soccer Nova Scotia. XFC covers the Antigonish, Pictou, Colchester and Cumberland Counties and draws elite players from Highlands supporting Tier 2 clubs from the U13 age group and up.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Coach Mark Brennan said, “It’s a great opportunity for these talented girls, even getting to this tournament is a credit to the player focused development pathway they have followed. Soccer is a huge game in our region and a tournament like this can open many doors for the serious athlete who is striving to play at the university level or above. XFC is proud to provide the development programs to get all players to the top of their game. Any young player wanting to play at this level must get involved with their own Tier 2 club Academy development programs at the U8 or U10 age groups before they come to XFC at U13. Without technical development at this age it’s very difficult to catch up.  XFC is proud of these girls and we look forward to providing the same opportunity in the years to come for both male and female players in the Highland Region.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>XFC, which is affiliated with St Fx University and the Tier 2 clubs in the region, runs player focused development programs that strive to give players the technical, tactical and athletic ability to compete at the elite level. XFC plays their league games in the Nova Scotia Soccer League representing the Highland Region,  against  the top regional clubs in the Province. For more information visit <a href="http://www.xfcsoccer.org/" target="_blank">www.xfcsoccer.org</a>.</p>

<p>Sackville Tournament Report 2011</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Northern Nova<br />
earns Silver Medals!</span></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Two time defending Champion NNU Falcons made it to the Final<br />
but lost in a shootout to host Sackville united U-16 squad and eqarned the<br />
silver medals at the Brucew Wagner Memorial Tournament.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Game 1  NNU Falcons 4<br />
Sackville United 2</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On Friday evening at the Sackville Heights<br />
Elementary School field<br />
the Falcons dropped the host team by a score of 4-2.  Sydney Adamson and Isabelle Bennett scored a<br />
pair of goals each Adamson in the opening half and Bennett in the second half<br />
and they made a perfect sandwich as in between Sackille had struck for two<br />
markers of their own.  Christina Cleroux<br />
recorded the victory in goal with a busy night thwarting the host team’s attacks.  Caroline Straub, Karleigh Avery, Randi<br />
Fraser, Lindy Quann, Isobel DeMont and all recorded assists in this contest<br />
while winger Sydney Adamson received player of the game honours.  Veronica Deno had a strong performance at the<br />
centre back position.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Game 2   NNU Falcons 2  vs Moncton First Touch 0</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On Saturday afternoon the Falcons renewed an old rivalry<br />
with Moncton First Touch and emerged with a 2-0 shutout victory.  In an intense well played game Falcons keeper<br />
Christina Cleroux kept Codiac off the board making two fine saves on her way to<br />
recording the shutout.  Once the Falcons<br />
found their gait the  resulting in<br />
pressure on the Moncton net.  Jenna<br />
Fraser began the attack from her left back position with a ball down the flank<br />
that sent winger Vicki Oliver deep into the Moncton zone, Oliver deftly touched<br />
the ball to Isabelle Bennett who sent a screaming shot on goal and the<br />
resulting rebound was driven home by Sydney Adamson.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just prior to halftime Isobel DeMont drove home a low drive<br />
from a scramble in front of the Moncton net, as a direct result of a Veronica<br />
Deno corner kick.  From this point on the<br />
defence of Lauren Hale, Juliana Ali, Tiffany Prosser and Krishma Joshi thwarted<br />
any and all Moncton attacks.  Alex<br />
Hendedrson and Kelsey Crawford had good games in the midfield for the blue,<br />
black and white.  Isabelle Bennett<br />
received the nod for player of the game.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Game 3  NNU Falcons 8 vs Porter’s Lake Pirates 0</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Player of the game Lindy Quann fired a pair of goals while<br />
Kelsey Crawford, Isobel DeMont, Christina Cleroux, Lauren Hale, Randi Fraser<br />
and Alex Henderson all shot single goals for NNU.</p>
<p>Christina Cleroux and Cara MacIvor each had a hand in<br />
earning the shutout in the Falcons net while Natalie MacQueen,  Jessica taylor and Katie Walsh had solid<br />
performances in the midfield.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Championship Game<br />
NNU Falcons 1  Sackville United 1<br />
Sackville wins 2-1 on penalty kicks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In an entertaing ing final the first half provided plenty of<br />
end to end action but no goals as both teams played a patient game in the<br />
sweltering heat.  In the scecond half<br />
Isobel DeMont put the Falcons aheaad on a nice shot after a set up from<br />
Karleigh Avery and Sydney Adamson.  Vicki<br />
Oliver won the ball in the corner and dispossed the Sackville fullback to<br />
iniate the scoring chance.  But the<br />
Falcons could only hold the lead for<br />
eight minutes when Sackville headed home the equalizer from a direct<br />
free kick played on the left side.  The<br />
remainder of regulation time settled nothing as did the two brief over time<br />
periods.  So it was off to the dhoot-out<br />
lottery and on this occaision the numbers came up 2-1 for Sackville.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Keeper Christina Cleroux was named player of the game for<br />
NNU while Alex Henderson, Jenna Fraser and Krishma Joshi all had solid<br />
performances for Northern Nova.</p>

Golden at the Gunn</span></h1>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></p>
<p>The 24<sup>th</sup> edition of the Gunn Baldursson Memorial soccer tournament was held this past weekend in the valley and the Northern Nova United U-16 Tier 2A girls brought home the gold medal. The Falcons went through the preliminary with a record of 3 wins and no losses. NNU defeated Halifax County 4-0, Halifax City 5-0 and Cole Harbour 2-1. Leading the offence through these games were Sydney Adamson 2 goals, Katie Walsh with 4, while Heather Beaton, Karleigh Avery, Isobel DeMont, Isabelle Bennett, and Lindy Quann each recorded single tallies.</p>
<p>The cross over game saw Northern Nova play Sackville United in a very physical contest, eventual score being 2-1 for NNU, with Adamson and DeMont doing the damage.</p>
<p>The final was against a strong Bedford team and highlighted the talents once again of Isobel DeMont for the Falcons who open the scoring in the first half only to be followed up shortly there after by a strike by Bedford.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p> The 2010 edition of the Northern Nova United U-14 Falcons traveled to the Valley on the weekend and brought home silver in girls’ soccer provincials. Although the weather was cool and dull, the soccer action was just the opposite.  During the preliminary round, the NNU squad compiled a record of 2 wins and a tie giving them top spot in their pool. This provided the birth in the final to challenge for the gold against Strait United who finished first in their division.</p>
<p>  The final had all the elements expected from the two top teams in the province with quick ball movement and solid challenges by both squads. The NNU crew opened the scoring early in the first half when Jessica Deagle struck her mark from well outside the 18 yard box with a drive just inside the post. Drawing the assists on the initial tally were Alyson Fulton and Karleigh Avery.  The Falcons struck shortly thereafter when Jennifer Cooke delivered a great through ball, then redirected by Avery to spring Fulton on the wing who finished the play with an accurate strike beyond the keeper. Not willing to be out done, the Strait United squad returned the favour and scored two quick goals, one on a penalty shot and the other on a determined individual effort to knot the contest at two.</p>
<p>  The second half was all Falcons as they drove to the net on every opportunity and pressed for the go ahead goal. Leading the way up front were Randi Fraser, Alyson Fulton and Lindy Quann. Shutting down any possible offense were NNU defenders Paige Clarke, Natalie Mac Queen, Lauren Hale and Madison McGuire.  Many close chances had the fans on their feet but they were thwarted by numerous timely saves by the Strait keeper. As a result the contest remained a two &#8211; two draw at the end of regulation time. Both squads then battled through two additional ten minute overtime sessions but neither team was able to break the stalemate. As with any competition, their must be an end and in this case it came down to penalty kicks. Unfortunately the Falcons, who put forth such a gallant effort, were eventually defeated in the shoot out portion of the game.</p>
<p>   At the conclusion of this exciting but grueling contest both exhausted teams were presented with their provincial medals. Individual awards were given out by the coaches of Northern Nova to tournament player of the game recipients, Randi Fraser for game one, Jennifer Cooke for game two, Jessica Deagle for game three and Karleigh Avery for the gold medal match. Finally and in keeping with soccer tradition our NNU Falcons traveled to Avery’s farm market to enjoy the celebratory ice cream treat.</p>
