The soccer season has officially begun! The youth of Pincher Creek have once again taken to the green fields across town as they play in their first soccer matches of the season. Whether it’s the young starters who’ve barely kicked a ball or the competitive teens, it’s clear that everyone who plays is happy to be out and about during the comfort of spring weather. Hunter of the U11 Pincher Creek Cobras, seen in the all-red uniform, is pictured playing in their first game of the season against Elkford. Pincher put up a valiant effort in their defeat, pushing hard and building off their first game to ultimately win their second game of the day.
