Cranbrook’s KEYSA U-11 girls soccer team travelled to Revelstoke last weekend for the Little Bears Soccer Tourney, returning home following a silver-medal performance.

In round-robin play, the KEYSA team — coached by Jason Wheeldon and Marcie Peters — tied Revelstoke in a hard-fought 3-3 contest, before defeating Golden 8-0 on the strength of well-executed plays.

In the final outing of the weekend, KEYSA was stymied by stuff Shuswap defence, settling for a silver medal.

This is the second medal performance of the year for the team.
