Peters Township Kicks Off Spring Soccer Season with State Champions

Soccer fans and players in Peters Township will kick off the spring soccer season at a special event at the Peters Township Public Library, reliving all the exciting action of Peters Township’s victory against Downingtown West in the PIAA Class AAA boys' soccer championship. The match will be shown on the big screen in the library’s main lobby, and players from the championship team will attend the program, along with their Coach Bob Dyer.

Younger soccer players age 10 and up from the Peters Township Soccer Association (PTSA,) the township’s recreational soccer program, will receive a special invitation to the program through their coaches. Those attending will have an opportunity to meet the team who brought home the gold medals, get their autographs, and see the skills that brought the first championship since 1989 home to Peters Township.

Pete Chiste, President of PTSA, expects a standing room only crowd for this event, calling it “one of the best high school games I've seen ... a very hard fought, high skilled match . (Peters Township) deserved the win as the players' desire was just too much for Downingtown to overcome.”

Seating is limited for this special “after hours” program at the Library on Sunday, March 16. Doors will open at 5:45 p.m. with showing of the match to begin at 6:00 p.m. You must pre-register to attend this exciting event by Friday, March 14 by visiting the Library’s circulation desk or calling 724-941-9430. Please contact Carrie Weaver if you have any questions about this event.
