First Cup Final As A Grandparent

Proud of granddaughter Allison Werner and her U13 Penn Fusion SA United team, who came back from a 2-0 halftime deficit yesterday to defeat Rose Tree Blast, 3-2 in the semi-finals of the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association (EPYSA) Challenge Cup May 11 in Media.  It was an exciting game, well-played by both sides.

Allison is a goalie and this was the first time she'd given up a goal in five cup matches.  Who cares?  They won.

I have been to five State Cup finals in New Jersey.  Four as a coach - won them all.  One as a parent - won it.  Here's hoping the streak continues as a grandparent.

The final is tentatively scheduled for June 1.
