HONOURS FOR TEAMMATES & SARA'S WEDDING  23rd July 2010

Despite appearing in only six of the W League Buffalo Flash's eleven games in 2010, Kelly Parker, a Canadian International, emerged as both the Scoring Champion and Goal Scoring Champion of the W-League. Kelly finished with an impressive 27 points (11 goals, 5 assists).

Kelly Parker is expected to be in action with her team as the 2010 W-League Playoffs kick off this week.

While Kelly Parker was earning kudos in the W league, Christine Sinclair was doing the same in the WPS. Sincy was named Women’s Professional Soccer Week 14 Player of the Week. She was recognized following a two-goal performance last Saturday for her first-place club, FC Gold Pride.

Sincy is having another great season at the professional level. She has recorded seven goals - second in the league - and has five assists in 13 matches.

On Saturday 17 July, Sinclair scored both goals in a 2:0 victory over Philadelphia Independence. The match was celebrated as Canada Day in recognition of FC Gold Pride’s two Canadian stars - Sinclair and defender Candace Chapman. Sinclair’s two goals in the match were scored against Philadelphia goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc, the third Canadian national team member participating in the match.

Sinclair is now a two-time winner of the WPS Player of the Week honour, having first been recognized in 2009.

Meanwhile in Norway, the second half of the Toppserien division is set to begin again. Although Diana Matheson may be back in the LSK line up, Rhian Wilkinson will be unavailable as she attend her sister's wedding in Quebec.
