STAMFORD – As predicted by those sitting on the sidelines of the opening night of the Stamford Mayor's Cup Soccer Tournament on Tuesday, the Gilboa-Conesville/Roxbury versus Edmeston boys game was a good matchup to watch . The two teams played to a 2-2 regulation tie with Edmeston advancing on penalty kicks. The South Kortright and Schenevus girls also picked up wins in their openers. The remaining opening round games were not available at press time and there was the possibility some of the second round games may get moved to today (Friday, Sept. 6) and to other locations tomorrow (Sept.7), so check with your school district to see if there was a change.
The first game of the day on Tuesday paired the Margaretville and Laurens girls teams. Laurens shutout Margaretville 7-0. Sam Barrett and Addie D'Ambrosio each scored a pair of goals to lead the cause with single goals from Amber Burton, Carleigh Reed. and Annie Gallagher. Amber Burton and Charlotte Barrett each had an assist. Schenevus advances to Game 7 at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
In game two, Roxbury held a 2-1 lead before Edmeston scored with less than a minute and a half to go to tie it. The game then went to penalty kicks where Edmeston advanced. GCR got one goal each from Julian Grieco and Collin Lyke. Edmeston's goals were scored by Brock Redner and Gavin McEnroe with an assist from Braymon Clark.
Edmeston advances to Game 7 at 3:15 this Saturday where they will play the winner of the South Kortright/Andes vs. Laurens/Milford game.
The third game of the night went to the SK Lady Rams as they got by Schenevus 1-0. The two teams went scoreless until the final 10 minutes of the first half when Nora Trimbell connected on a goal and the Lady Rams were able to keep Laurens off the board the rest of the way to take the win. SK advanced to play the winner of the Charlotte Valley vs. Franklin girls game, set for 6:45 this Saturday.
The opening day weather was fantastic, but Mike Brown, who is the organizer of the tournament, was looking ahead to rain predicted for much of tomorrow and was working to move three of Saturday's games to the soccer fields at Jefferson Central School and South Kortright Central School and two games to Friday.
Nothing had been confirmed by Wednesday afternoon, so stay tuned for those possible changes. Because it involves all 16 teams playing on the same day in the second round, it is a scheduling nightmare which Brown was attempting to work out in advance, anticipating bad weather.
Admission is $1 for students and seniors and $2 for adults. Programs are available for $3 and the snack stand will be open at Archibald Field to keep the fans fed.
Final rounds will be held Saturday, Sept. 14, as follows:
Game 9 Boys 10 a.m. Fifth Place at Archibald Field
Game 9 Girls. 11:45 a.m. Fifth Place at Archibald
Game 10 Boys 1:30 p.m. Third place at Archibald Field
