Welcome Collingwood United Soccer Club

The Collingwood United Men's Premier soccer team advanced to the Traganitis Cup final on the weekend with a 5-2 win over their rivals, Owen Sound United. The team also had wins over Orillia United, Orangeville,  and Newmarket to get to the final. The team will be playing Orillia S.C. and are attempting  to win the Traganitis Cup for the 3rd year in a row.  The final is on Sunday August 15th @ 4pm at the Nottawasaga Inn in Alliston.

It's always a pleasure to acknowledge community support for our club!

In the picture below Bill Wall and Dennis Martinek from Tyrolean Village present a cheque for $1050.00 to our Sponsorship Director, Sean Lawes. The cheque represents 10% of the soccer bookings during our recent Collingwood United Invitational Tnmt. The tnmt was a huge success this year with 136 teams attending, the Club would like to thank Christine Thomson and Annette Schneider, co-directors, for a job well done!! 

Bewick Cup

Although changing format many times The Bewick Cup has been a part of Collingwood Adult soccer for many years. The 'CUP' is named in memory of a Past President of the former Adult Soccer league, Gary Bewick. Gary was taken tragically in a motorcyle accident in 2002.

Please note the Bewick Cup is open to all adult players in the CUSC. This includes Monday O35's, Wed league and the three travel teams.

Colin Wills has stepped up to run the Bewick this year (thank-you Colin). He is looking for a few volunteers to captain that day as well as some volunteers for other tasks. Please see below a message from Colin which includes the format, date etc.

Good Day Everyone,

I have volunteered my services to run this year’s Bewick Cup tournament.

We will be holding the Bewick Cup the same day as the adult banquet 2nd October at Fisher Field 1 and 2. With presentation of the cup that night. Tournament fee will include admission to banquet. There will be refreshments - hot dogs and hamburgers etc at the field.

Entry Fee will be as follows:

Early bird paid before September 1st $30.00.

After September 1st but before the actual day $40.00 and $50.00 on the day.

Tournament starts at 8am for same day registration. Captains will pick teams at 8.30am. First games start at 9am.

Format is as follows:

Round Robin 4 teams. 1 hour games, half hour halves. Each team plays each other on Fisher 1 and 2 with half hour breaks between games.

No Semi final just 1st plays 2nd from round robin and 3rd plays 4th full 45 minute halves straight to shoot out after final whistle.

This was a fantastic event last year and will be a great rap up of the 2010 outdoor season.

I will have tickets next week. But feel free to confirm your participation via return email and I will chase you down for a cheque later.

Regards Colin

President Keith Currie was on hand last week, at Collingwood Collegiate's Commencement Ceremony, to present this years CUSC Scholarships to four very deserving young women.

All four girls currently play on our U18 Rep team and between them have coached, reffed and played in numerous house and rep games over the past 14 years.

In addition to being great athletes these young ladies all graduated CCI as Ontario Scholars; having achieved an average of 80% or more.

The CUSC wish the girls luck as they proceed on to their Post Secondary Education - Kiri Langford - Wilfrid Laurier, Kelley Van Boxmeer - Nipissing University, Jessica Curran - Brock and Courtney Doyle - Nipissing.

In our 'Blue' Book this year you will notice that every team was assigned a country, if your Country was SPAIN your team wins a free Pizza Party courtesy of Toppers Pizza - Good luck!
