ROBBIE WEBBER APPROACHING FINAL WEEKS

With just two weeks left in the Triple J Auto Group Robbie Webber Youth Soccer League, many players are not quite ready to hang up their cleats just yet.

PRESS RELEASE – With just two weeks left in the Triple J Auto Group Robbie Webber Youth Soccer League, many players are not quite ready to hang up their cleats just yet.

“I want to keep playing soccer even after the league is over,” said 7-year-old Chloe Esteves of the Southern Heat. “I like playing soccer because it’s fun and I like taking the ball away from other people.

“My mom (Tina Esteves) was the one who got me into the sport, and my whole family plays, too,” added the Merizo Martyrs Memorial School student.

For teammate Jaron Meno, one of the highlights of this season’s youth league was receiving a Fair Play with Triple J green card during a Week 2 match. Meno was one of dozens of youth athletes who received a Triple J “jimmy” ball as a prize for fair play during a short ceremony Saturday at the Guam Football Association National Training Center.

“Soccer is fun and it’s all about playing fair,” Meno said. “If someone falls – your teammate or from the other team – it’s good to make sure they are OK and help pick them up.

“I got a green card for fair play and I won a jimmy ball. The jimmy ball is fun to play with and I can keep practicing soccer with it,” added the 8-year-old Merizo Martyrs Memorial School student.

QUICK HITS

Guam’s Wayne Blas completed his 13th Boston Marathon and 38th marathon overall.
The island’s record holder in the distance, Blas finished this year in 2:35:21.
“I’m very happy with this result because seven months ago, I was sidelined with a stress fracture that kept me out for three months. No running! To come back on an abbreviated marathon build and finish one of the toughest races strong and healthy was a big win for me.”
His time of 2:29:38 at the 2023 Chicago Marathon and World Marathon Majors Age Group Championships stands as the Guam National Record.
