The Trish Belford Realty Group U16 girls Belleville Comets rolled a seven but came up second in the gold medal final of the Ambassador Cup hosted recently by the Kingston Clippers in The Limestone City. <\/p>\n
In a nail-biting championship game against Aurora, neither team could find the back of the opposition net in regulation time. <\/p>\n
\"The Comets played beautiful football, said team manager Lynn Barnabi. There were some great passes and ball control, but Comets just couldn't score. <\/p>\n
Barnabi also cited the strong defence of Annissa Bray, Andrea Sorokine, Lindsay Hannah and Molly McKinney for making potential Aurora snipers feel equally frustrated in the attacking zone. <\/p>\n
The subsequent O.T. went to penalty shots seven of the them both ways before Aurora claimed the crown. <\/p>\n
