The Royal LePage Red Bulls split a pair of Under 13 House Boys soccer league games last weekend at Marshall Field.
The Red Bulls bowed 3-1 to the Royal LePage Blues with Shane Pelkey sending a beautiful feed through to Kye Fentimen who converted for the Bulls.
Midfielders Hayden Broderick, Max Fenn and Kieran Webster all played strong games for the Bulls. Jared Bobryk was solid in net, while forwards Bryce Meausette and Tyler Baginski were stellar on defence.
In their second game, the Red Bulls rebounded for a 3-1 win over the Royal LePage Whites.
Striker David Heng impersonated Mia Hamm by taking his shirt off after scoring all three goals for the Red Bulls. His buddy, Dylan Henry, set him for two of the goals while Pelkey assisted on the other.
Mexican striker Marcelo Suro was a force all game but failed to finish on numerous chances. Top defender John Bernakevitch was superb on defence along with the twin towers of Nick Alveberg and Josh Baker.
Bobryk had another fantastic game in net while Connor Johnston controlled the play in the midfield.

Sharks, Orange go scoreless
In U15 Girls action, the Sharks and Subway Orange battled to one of the most exciting scoreless draws outside of the English Premier league.
The Sharks started strong and kept Orange in their own half for the first 10 minutes but failed to generate any real chances. Orange withstood the pressure and started to push back, creating some good scoring chances with a quick counterattack.
The Sharks got a great performance from keeper Cherish Ayers, who earned the shutout by attacking anything inside the penalty area, and solid defence from Sarah Wiebe and Katie MacGillivray.
The teams went back and forth for the rest of the game, with Erin Hickman causing all sorts of trouble for the Sharks’ defence, while the Sharks got strong showings from midfielders Sarah Orr, Ashley Eso and Latisha Baker.
The final few minutes saw excellent scoring chances at both ends, including MacGillivray ringing a shot off the post for the Sharks.

In U14-15 Girls action Saturday, the Silver Bullets and the Tracker Jackers played to a 1-1 tie.
Kierra Bootsma scored for the Jackers midway through the first half. The Bullets came on in the second half, and finally scored the late equalizer as Sierra Brenner sprinted in on a breakaway, blasting it past the Jacker keeper.
The Jackers threatened on several occasions, but were thwarted repeatedly by keeper Emma Cohen, who was fearless in challenging forwards, and stopping a couple breakaways. Taylor Gray was outstanding on defence for the Jackers, and Teal Hadland was solid in goal.
