The Murrieta Youth Soccer League Coaches won 4-3.  As in the past years, the soccer match was highly competitive.  

The Murrieta Youth Soccer League coaches battled a team comprised of law enforcement and fire department members from the Murrieta Police/Fire Department and Riverside Sherriff Department on Saturday, August 22^nd.  This was the 19^th year of the annual COPer Cup. 

The game started with Police Units and Fire Engines driving up to the soccer field and a distraction device was deployed to start the match.  

During half-time, the Murrieta Police Department provided a K-9 Police dog demonstration and the Murrieta Firemen soaked the kids with the Fire Engine water hose.  Many family members were on hand to enjoy this event. 

I’m playing in a soccer match this weekend called the COP’er Cup.  We’ll be playing some of the local law enforcement and firemen in the city/county.  I heard last year we beat them pretty bad, so we expect more of a game this year.  We are practicing against a 19U traveling team for our training.  Last Saturday I ran my butt off playing striker.  I was really sore the next few days including today. I had a light practice today and I hope to be fully recovered for our Saturday game.  I have been told this is a very competitive match.  No gym time for me until the match is over.  One comment though, my lower weight lifting has really helped my legs for soccer.
