Better to Give

REAL MEN

Christmas is all about giving. Just as Jesus was given to us on Christmas Day, we can give to others during this season, or at anytime during the year. REAL MEN Hamilton has been putting giving into action in 2014, heading downtown, and loving on people in our great city. Free water in summer, hot chocolate in winter, and some of the best corn you’ll ever taste during corn season.

The response has been great as Hamiltonians grab a drink, eat corn, and stop to chat. Most are pleasantly surprised that there are real men making a difference in Hamilton. How can you make a difference in someone’s life by giving?

Soccer Tournament Recap

It was a chilly morning. But that had little effect on the mood as lovers of the beautiful game enthusiastically converged on Wentworth Arenas to participate in the first ever REAL MEN HAMILTON soccer tournament.

The teams were split into two groups for the first round of matches. Teams ranged in skill level from very experienced to newly formed. Teams in each group played against each other. A win scored a team 3 points. At the end of the first round, the top two teams from each group advanced to the semi-finals. The winners of the semi-finals advanced to the finals.

The tournament delivered a great mix of high level games and fun match-ups. There was no shortage of talent on display. The top scorer was Roberto from Fusion. His many goals won him a Brazuca (the official match ball of the 2014 FIFA World Cup). Fusion, the winners in the end, played a flawless tournament. They were without a doubt the most polished and skilled team in the tournament. They faced Men United, another strong team, in the final and emerged victorious with a 1-0 win. They were a delight to watch.

Check out our smugmug page for more photos of the event. Expect a second tournament next year. It will be bigger and better in every regard.
