The Yorkton United FC U-12 boys found out what a difference a year makes. Playing a team of mostly second year players, the young United squad built mostly of first year U-12 players, took a hard 10-1 loss at the hands of Regina's RE United Saturday afternoon at the Parkland Mall Pitch.
Nick Fetsch kept the YUFC boys in the game early with some impressive keeping and managed to keep the game close before the RE United boys scored to make it 2-1. Regina's REU squad was simply too skilled and too athletic for YUFC to handle as Yorkton lost despite putting up a tough performance against one of the best teams in their league.
Manager Andy Wyatt didn't dwell on the loss saying, "We knew it was going to be a tough game and our young players got good experience playing a top team." Wyatt also expected a tough game and notes Fetsch's goalkeeping stating, "He had a great game in net. despite the scoreline they were in our side of the pitch for most of the game and he made a lot of saves."
The YUFC U-12's now look to notch wins as they continue weekend play in Regina in the coming weeks.
