Boothbay Region YMCA’s youth soccer team won its final game of the season Saturday, Oct. 30 in Damariscotta versus CLC YMCA, 3-2. All of BRYMCA’s goals came in the last 10 minutes, by Landyn Rego.

The team played round robin games Oct. 23. It turned out to be a winning day for the athletes, coached by Lisa Orne Hallinan, with assistance from Christine Rego.

The players, in grades 4-6, are Nerla Bates, Caleb Bates, Ryder Baker, Isaiah Bates, Landyn Rego, Meabh Hennessy, Xaviera “Xavi” Hall, Sophia Koplau, Lilly Brown, Ellis Casey and Matthew Cusumano.

The players won the first two games against Wiscasset at Wiscasset Middle High School’s field, 2-0 and 5-1. The team then moved to another field for two games against Richmond where the Y team tied in the first game 1-1. The second game was a win, 4-2.

“We’ve won five games since we started in September, and lost only one,” said Hallinan after the Oct. 23 games.  Two of the team’s games ended in ties, including one Oct. 23 against Richmond, 1-1. “I just love these kids,” said Hallinan. “I’m so proud of all of them all.”

At the games, family and friends cheer the team on and Hallinan shouts from the sidelines,  “Where’s my midfield?” and other directions. And always after a goal she calls a very enthusiastic, “Good job!” And there are lots of hugs after each game.
