A bit late but better than never, a short recap of Harry’s debut for the Issaquah Gunners A team.
No sooner had we docked from our cruise we we were rushing across Seattle back home and then down to the Issaquah playing fields so Harry could play in the Issaquah Invitational tournament with his new team – Issaquah Gunners A!
The first game was 10:30am and the opposition were duly dispatched 8-0. No goals for the Stickman but that’s ok because he still had his sea legs on! The bonus of the tournament was that George was back for a weekend appearance as a guest player. After a brief visit back home for a cold shower and a light lunch it was straight back to the tournament to play game two. This match was equally comfortable and finished in a 9-1 victory. Still no goals for the Stickman though – was the pressure going to get to him!? Let’s hope not but he had a night to dwell on it and think about the missed opportunities.
Sunday morning arrived and the sun was out. It was hot! After a brief distraction of some fighting eagles:
Harry decided it was time to get amongst the goals. In a tighter game he smacked home his first goal:
And then, if that wasn’t enough he decided to get a second one – look closely he’s on the floor towards the back:
The final score was 3-1 and the Gunners were into the final that afternoon. The final was against Kitsap Pumas. There were no nerves in the final though as the Gunners stormed to victory, 6-2. No more goals for Harry but he played well and got his first trophy of the season – hopefully there are more to come!
