It was a good day for soccer in Oak Harbor as hundreds of kids took to the fields for their weekly Saturday morning soccer games.

Next was a Girls U-10 game between the Blue Monkeys, sponsored by the Oak Harbor Soroptimists and coached by Melanie Majorie and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, coached by Tabitha Fields. All the girls on both teams got a lot of playing time, but in the end it was the Blue Monkeys on top 6-1.
