After a great first soccer season it has now come to an end. Matthew throughly enjoyed his first year of competition soccer which was full of great moments. Some being Matthew's first goal, the teams first win and of course receiving the leadership award from his coach and manger. At the end of the season all Northside Christian Football Club teams got together for a presentation night to thanks the players, coaches, referees and all the volunteers who were involved in running the club. Each player was presented with a participation trophy. This was Matthew's first trophy ever and the excitment of receiving this was written all of his face with a grin from ear to ear. After each team was presented with their trophy they proceeded to hand out special trophys for the 'Best and Fairest player' and the 'Most Improved player' from each team. To our special surprise Matthew was presented with the 'Most Improved player' for the Chargers!! Well I thought the excitment of receiving the participation trophy was priceless, watching Matthew receive this special trophy took my words away. He walked up on stage with his head held high and a smile so big I thought he was going to burst. This award was such an honour and a priviledge to receive, especially as Matthew did not play the last couple of weeks due to his broken collarbone. Matthew could hardly wait to get home to show it to Dad! When we did arrive home Matthew put on his straight face (as best as he could) and showed Dad the participation trophy (which we all knew he would receive) and of course Dad made a big fuss but then Matthew could not wait any longer and burst with excitment as he showed Dad his 'most improved player' award. Well you could have knocked Dad over as he was so pleasantly surprised by this award. Matthew was still in a state of shock and kept saying over and over "I can't believe it, I can't believe it" as he stared at his trophy. Let me just say that it took Matthew a VERY long time to get to sleep that night! CONGRATULATIONS MATTHEW WE ARE SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!!
