Four more teams representing the Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association (NLSA) are seeking titles in Atlantic age-group championships, beginning today in Halifax and Moncton.
Last week, the province’s boys under-13 and U14 teams both claimed gold medals at Atlantic tournaments in Corner Brook, while the NL U13 and U14 girls sides finished second and fourth, respectively.
This week, it’s the U15s and U16s who are taking to the pitch, with the girls’ events in Halifax and the boys in Moncton. Newfoundland’s first games today in all four divisions will be against Nova Scotia.
