Members of the Mariners U12B Soccer Team – Tier III in the Mid-Island Association – took time out from their Friday, Sept. 18, practice to sign a thank you card to Nored Developments, which provided a $1,000 donation toward tournament fees and equipment costs. Coach Francois Brassens and supporters will be taking the team on the road this year to compete on the Lower Mainland and beyond. The team also has a U12B account at the Junction Bottle Depot where people can make contributions.
