Before the game got underway, University of Lethbridge players and coaches hosted a soccer camp, which event organizer Steven Mah said was very successful.

A total of 57 kids attended the hour and a half camp.

Mah said the U of L players did a great job of making the camp fun for everyone.

Mah also added, the event is definitely something they would like to bring back to Swift Current in the future.
