THORNHILL SOCIAL
Thornhill Soccer World Cup Tournament
On the 15th of July the soccer field at the main park was a buzz with
excited children and adults, who played in Thornhill’s first ever soccer
tournament. We kicked off with the junior tournament at 10h00, which
saw many talented young players showing off their soccer skills!
The friendly spirit shown by all the children participating in the tour-
nament made it a pleasure for the spectators to watch and there were
plenty of proud parents standing on the side lines cheering for their
little soccer stars! At the end of a fun filled tournament it was the Blaz-
ing Stars, who walked away with the title of the winners of the Junior
Tournament after facing the Footies in the final.
The senior teams brought just as much fun and excitement to the field,
with some fantastic goals, a couple of great moves by some very skilled
players and some very funny moments by some not-so-skilled players.
Spectators were treated to a nail biting final as Elm Street battled it out
with Plane, but in the end it was Elm Street who was victorious on a
penalty shoot-out.
A huge thank you goes out to all our sponsors, who without, this day
would not have been the great success it was:-
• The Catering Lark – delicious pap, sauce and salad for the braai
• Jawitz Properties – water for all players and spectators
• Anthea Koen – sticker albums and stickers for junior players
• Remax – party packs for all the children
• Ian Boxall – Medals for all the players
• Steven Burrow – Floating trophies for the winning teams
• Seeff Properties – mini cones for the junior players
• Rawson – prizes for the senior team
Thank you to all those who participated in the tournament as well as
all the spectators who braved the cold to join in on the community
spirit and support their teams. View all the photos of the tournament
