Poulsbo’s Pip Thompson returned to Dorchester, England, with the North Kitsap Comets, a boys U12 soccer team. The local paper filed this report on the game between the Comets and Dorchester Raiders, who beat the visitors 1-0.
For more background on the trip, here’s the story Brynn Grimley wrote for The Sun in September.
Actually, this was the third game in the tour, not the opening game as stated in the headline. The Comets beat the Moretonville Rovers 3-2 and Moretonville Rangers 3-0 earlier in the week.
