Westview Secondary students took on the Maple Ridge RCMP in a friendly soccer match today! ⚽️
The match wrapped up the RCMP’s youth soccer tournament, which featured games at all five Maple Ridge secondary schools to celebrate community, strengthen connections, and build excitement for the FIFA World Cup taking place right in our backyard.
While Team RCMP ultimately claimed victory in the tournament finale, it was a close game filled with fun, friendly competition and lots of team spirit.
Great game all around! 👏🏼
