Vision Printers displayed a balanced scoring punch as Glen Winegarden, Jordan Michaud and Ryan Brideau all hit the scoresheet in a 3-0 win over Bitter Bill's in the U-10 boys final.

No division proved to be closer than the U-14 categories as both the boys and girls finals were decided by identical scores of 1-0. Cindy Seresse took a lovely centering pass from Sarah Marshall and converted with just under five minutes remaining to give JB Jewellers the divisional crown over Harrigan Builders. Meanwhile, Patrick Desmarais made no mistake on a penalty kick in overtime, as Desjardins Food Basics stopped Elmview Playground 1-0 in the boys finale.

Advancing to the bronze medal match at a recent tournament in Collingwood, the Valley East U-10 Girls team forced an overtime shootout before falling to Barrie 3-2. The team opened preliminary play a little tentatively, playing to a 1-1 draw with both Barrie and the Barrie all-stars.

Game three saw the Valley crew open the offensive floodgates as Brandy Charsley registered the hat-trick in an 8-1 win over Collingwood. Sydney Walker added a pair with Molly Jo Miller, Melissa Rose White and Alyssa Charsley all chipping in with a goal apiece.

A two goal effort from Sydney Walker proved to be the difference in the elimination game as Valley East edged the Barrie All-Stars 2-1. It was on to the semi-finals as Caledon handed the Valley East squad their first loss of the tournament, blanking the locals 2-0.

The bronze medal game meant a rematch with Barrie as Amanda O'Gorman scored twice in regulation, allowing Valley East to head to overtime, tied at two. After a pair of scoreless ten-minute overtime sessions, a shootout was needed to decide matters and despite receiving penalty kick goals from Brandy Charsley and Molly Jo Miller, Valley East would fall just short.
