Progress was shown by the YUFC U-12 boys as they had a .500 weekend, hosting two games at the Parkland Mall pitch over the weekend. On Saturday the YUFC notched a 5-1 over the UCT Lightning of Regina, making up for their tough 10-1 loss to RE United the previous weekend.
Although the UCT side has shared similar struggles as YUFC the Yorkton side showed that they won't let winning opportunities slip against beatable opponents with the convincing win. Manager Andy Wyatt was impressed with his team's effort on Saturday and enjoyed what was a complete team effort in his opinion.
Wyatt also noted that the score might have been more lopsided if not for a few bad luck strikes that hit the posts leaving YUFC goals off of the scoreboard.
On Sunday QC United, another one of Regina's top teams gave the young YUFC squad another tough challenge, handing the home side a 9-1 loss. Like the previous weekend's loss, the YUFC squad was simply not seasoned enough to handle an older squad despite putting in a valiant effort for the game's duration. Wyatt was more positive about the loss this time around saying "We played better in this match and had a few breakaways that might have made the game closer." Wyatt also noted while his team probably wasn't the better side, he felt the boys deserved to be closer in the scoreline than the final result indicated. The YUFC U-12's next games are on June 16 when they travel to Regina for two fixtures.
