The 32nd annual Holiday Cup soccer tournament will feature their six divisional championship matches Tuesday at the Dimond Park Field House.<\/p>\n
The annual gathering of “association football,” or “futebol,” or “soccer,” as local turf-huggers call it, has whittled down 31 festive holiday-themed teams and roughly 380 cheery players into a final celebration for saying goodbye to the old year.<\/p>\n
Action kicks off at 10 a.m. with the Elementary championship (players who are at least 9 years old) between the Stocking Squad versus the Nutmeggers. The Middle School (grades 6, 7 and 8) title game follows at 11:15 a.m. between the Tinsel Toes v Santa’s Strikers. High School (grades 9-12) players take to the turf at 12:30 p.m. between the Jingle Ballers v North Pole United.<\/p>\n
Seniors (out of high school thru age 21) play at 1:45 p.m. with the Iced Out v Grinch Gang. Classic (age 35 and up) action runs at 3 p.m. with the Eggnog and Nutmegs v Slay Bells, and the Masters (age 22-35) championship is at 4:15 p.m. with the Wet Bandits v Chilkat Bamdots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
