'They Are Like My Children'

20090913 Wales award -® Manuela Cigliutti _MG_1794- LOW

In the nail biting Community Cup final, Wales defeated Sweden 9-7. The score vascilated as Wales scored closely followed by Sweden, until Wales snuck ahead in the second half by a couple of goals.
 
Wales were overjoyed with this result, especially Coach Lee who couldn't help cry due to the results.  "They performed outstandingly. They have worked so hard and I am so proud of them.  They are like my children.  I'm proud to be from Wales and I'm proud to wear this jersey."  The week started a bit slow for the Wales Team as they picked up momentum as the week progressed, and they are sad to leave.  Coach Lee hopes to be back next year with another bunch of fantastic people.
 
The Swedish Team put up a good fight in this close game and thought the results could have gone either way.  In any case, they have enjoyed their experience here in Milan and this tournament.
