LM Soccer Alumni Weekend

LM Soccer Alumni Weekend

Last Friday the LM Soccer Alumni weekend began with the 9^th Annual Steve Fountain Memorial Golf Tournament at Edgmont Golf Club. Over 40 golfers, many of them LM Soccer Alumni, had a great time supporting this wonderful cause. We thank all of you who played, were sponsors, or who donated to this special event.

Immediately following the golf event the 1968 League, District, & Inter-District Championship team came together at Edgmont Golf Club and enjoyed a 45^th year reunion. Fifteen of the players from that team, including wives, family members, & friends (and their coach Bob Robinson) gathered to watch that special team be inducted into the Lower Merion Boy’s Soccer Hall of Fame.

The annual “LM Soccer Alumni Game” was played the next morning on Arnold Field, with 18 past Aces’ players taking on a Radnor Alumni team, including 5 from the '68 team (pictured above with fellow teammates looking on). The players didn’t look like they lost a step, well maybe a few, and a good time was had by all. After the game the ’68 team members, those 5 who were playing in the game, as well as the others cheering them on from the sidelines, all met at Gullifty’s Restaurant to celebrate.

Hopefully next year we will be able to get enough LM Soccer Alumni out so we can have the game among ourselves. Please let me know if you’re in the area and would be willing to help us find current email addresses for other local LM Soccer Alumni (especially all you guys who graduated within the past 10 years). We have only been able to get a handful of you to come out & join us so far.
